Filled with Sweetness Floating Tent Card

Where have I been? I totally missed this Fun Fold when it was "making the rounds". It's called a Floating Tent Card or a Swinging Tent Fold. Anyway, I now know how to make it and it's really fun and easy! I saw this card, and directions by Mary Deatherage! We'll be making this one at Club on Saturday!!

Measurements:

Pecan Pie: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 4" x 4 1/4" (accordion fold), 1 1/2" x 2" (mechanism)
Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4" (back), 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" (approx), scraps (stamped fruits)
Homemade Sweetness DSP (N)(OE): 4" x 5 1/4" (blue gingham), various die cuts from DSP

To Make This Card:

Adhere Blue Gingham piece to folded Pecan Pie base. I used Multipurpose Glue so that the piece was adhered all over.
Next, die cut center of front from 3rd largest Branching Out Die. Set this aside.
While the base is still pretty flat, create back layer, by stamping sentiment in Blueberry Bushel ink, and "strawberry" & "blueberries" in Memento Black ink, and color them in with Blends.
Then, add this to the back side of card.
Note: If desired, at this time you could also add a piece of DSP to the inside of your card. You don't see a whole lot of this, so I chose not to do this.
For the accordion "stand", score along the 4" side at 1/2" - 1 1/4" - 2" - 2 3/4" - 3 1/2".
Fold this piece in half, and then accordion fold, creasing well.
Next, adhere this to the inside of the card base, with the 1/2" section attached to the front and back, with the score line/crease even with the cut edge of the card base.
Now, to decorate the insert!
Fussy cut 2 "jars" of your choice, and one "honey bear"! This is a great time to use only a "partial" bear, as you won't see the entire thing!
Making sure your print matches up, start with the "honey bear" and then add the other 2 "jars" of your choice.
Stamp the sentiment in Blueberry Bushel ink and die cut with one of the neat tags. Add to piece with Dimensionals.
You might want to add any embellishments at this time, while it is still flat. I used the Strawberry Slush "dots" from the Strawberry & Dots. Set insert aside.
Next, stamp 2 "strawberries" and one set of "blueberries" onto scraps of White. Color with Blends and cut out with corresponding dies.
Score the swing "mechanism" @ 3/4". The width of the mechanism may change based on the die that you used for the "window", but they are all 1 1/2" wide.
Now, adhere one side of the "mechanism" to the top of the insert. I used Tear & Tape.
Place adhesive on the other side, place insert into the opening, and adhere to the inside.
To finish the front, add 2 "strawberries" to either side of opening, as well as one of the "blueberries", and Misty Moonlight Checkered bow.
Finish the back with a few more "dots".
