Wonderful Day

Hello friends, welcome and thanks so much for stopping by. Today I have a 'Fancy Fold' card to share with you a 'Pop and Twist' card- so much easier to create than you first think and such a fun fold. I have made an elegant card using Kaisercraft papers and Collectibles.

Cut a card base and score half way; fold the card stock into an A-frame card base. Decorate the card front as desired, it is so much easier to do before the inside is added, adding bulk.

I have used two papers from the Kaisercraft Golden Grove Collection, adhering to the pre-cut white card base using  Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner Ultra. Add a strip of olive green seam binding around the card front, securing using double sided tape.  Pop up the beautiful Hydrangea onto the centre of the card front using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Squares.  Glue a double seam binding bow to the right of the Collectible and pop up a sentiment below the Hydrangea.  Finish by trimming and adhering Want2Scrap bling.

Cut card stock for the pop-up mechanism, 8cm x 24cm.  Score down the centre of the card both lengthwise and width (or the long side and the short side)   Fold the right hand side towards the centre to where the score lines meet, check they line up on both sides before burnishing,.  Repeat this with the left hand side - to give an 'x in the centre.  Fold the paper on the score lines to make a tent shape Burnish all folds. This piece becomes the pop-up mechanism for the card.  Place the point of the mechanism centred just below the fold on the card base, Place tape on the top of the mechanism  Close the card to adhere the top panel to the pop-up mechanism.

Cut another piece of  white card stock 8cm x 24cm. Score on the short side at 4cm and burnish. Fold each side towards the centre fold and burnish the folds.  Decorate each panel inside the card by cutting two pieces of  Kaisercraft Golden Grove Collection to 9cm x 9.5cm, adhering onto slightly larger yellow card stock; adhere to the top and bottom panels. 

Open the card. The pop-up mechanism will unfold. Place Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner Ultra on the top right corner and the bottom left corner back of the "tent" pop-up mechanism and center the accordion fold piece over the pop-up mechanism and attach.

Cut four Kaisercraft Golden Grove Collection to 5.5cm x 8.5cm, emboss using a Kaisercraft Embossing Folder, sponge around the edges using Imagine Memento ink in Bamboo Leaves and attach to each panel of the accordion portion using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner Ultra. Decorate the panels using Collectibles.
