Twist and Pop cards are fabulous, interactive cards with a central panel that twists and pops outward to reveal a message, image or combination of embellishments that is sure to impress the lucky receiver. TEMPLATE 1. Place the 11" x 41/4" piece of card stock horizontally on your score board and score at 51/2". Fold along the score line to form your card base. 2. Use some patterned paper and an assortment of embellishments to decorate the front of the card as desired. I used one of the images and sentiments from the new Make A Wish digital stamp set. 3. Place the 11" x 33/4" piece of card stock horizontally on your score board and score at 23/4", 51/2" and 81/4". Fold along each of the score lines starting with a valley fold, then a mountain fold and then another valley fold. 4. Decorate your image panel as desired. This is the section of the card that "twists and pops" as the card is open so you will probably want to display your main message or image here. 5. To create the mechanism, place the 8" x 3" piece of card stock horizontally on the desk in front of you. Use a pencil and ruler to measure and mark 21/2" from either end of the card stock, on both the top and bottom edge. See the template above for correct placement. 6. Place the 8" x 3" piece of card stock horizontally on your score board and score at 4". 7. Rotate the card stock so that it is now vertical on your score board. Score at 11/2" intersecting the first score line. 8. Now we're going to score between the pencil marks you made in step five. Start at the top, left hand mark and score down to the bottom, right hand mark. Now score from the bottom, left hand mark up to the top, right hand mark. The four score lines should intersect in the middle of the card stock. Refer to the template above. 9. Fold and burnish all score lines with a bone folder. 10. Use your index fingers to fold the long sections inward as shown in the photos below. 11. Use a bone folder to burnish all the folds. 12. Now we're ready to construct our twist and pop card. You should have an image panel, the inner mechanism and the card base. 13. Apply some glue to the triangle shaped area on the card mechanism. Lay a ruler along the centre of the card base to find the mid point and line up the mechanism, directly below the fold, making sure the card still closes easily. Apply the mechanism, glue side down, and allow to dry for a couple of minutes. 14. Apply more glue to the second triangle section, then close the card to adhere in place. Allow the card to dry for a few minutes to ensure the mechanism is securely attached. 15. Open the card. The mechanism should unfold and lay almost flat on top of the card. Place the image panel on top of the mechanism, matching the centre score lines and keeping the edges flush. 16. Fold the right hand panel over to reveal the mechanism. Use a pencil to mark the position of the image panel. 17. Repeat on the left hand side, so that you have two clear pencil lines on the mechanism. 18. Apply glue on the top, right hand section of the mechanism. Keep the glue between the pencil line and the edge of the card stock as seen in the photo below. 19. Move the image panel so that it's flush with the pencil line and centred over the mechanism (see below). Unfold the image panel and press against the glue. Allow to dry for a minute. 20. Apply glue on the bottom, left hand section of the mechanism, keeping the glue between the pencil line and the edge of the card stock as seen in the photo below. 21. Unfold the image panel and press against the glue. Allow to dry completely. Your card is now complete! (You may have to open and close the card a few times to limber up the mechanism) Stamps:

Hello and welcome to my blog. Earlier in the month, I participated in Kylie Bertucci's International Project Highlights and after the voting had closed I was delighted to find myself in the Top Ten! Thank you so much to everyone who visited the gallery and voted for my card. If you missed it, you can read all about it here. I am absolutely thrilled to be eligible to take part in this winner's hop. For my card for today I have chosen to feature a different fun fold technique using the same New Horizons DSP. The scenery on the New Horizons papers really lends itself to this layout. I first came noticed this type of card when I participated in a blog hop that was all about fun folds, and now I have realised that one of the other winners shared this type of fold in the gallery this month too. I really love making fun fold cards and, although I haven't used this fun fold before, I am sure that I will make more of them! From the outside there is nothing unusual to show - the Timeworn Type embossed layer is topped with a picture panel, raised on dimensionals, wrapped in ribbon with a simple, fresh looking thanks sentiment. This watercolour scene reminds me of a holiday to the Lake District and a visit to see Beatrix Potter's home. Happy memories! The magic happens when you open the card, and there is a definite wow! factor. I have the same Soft Succulent embossed layers but this time some of the panels are floating. Using a single sheet of the 6" x 6" DSP, I trimmed small strips from the top and bottom and then cut the remaining piece into four equal strips. Each strip is mounted onto a slightly bigger strip of Evening Evergreen card, which are then mounted onto a band of Evening Evergreen. The band is folded in a concertina fashion so that it is enveloped when the card closes. The scene inside feels like a sweeping panorama! I was tempted to leave it completely unadorned, so as not to spoil the view. But, that felt really lazy, (and a bit too plain) so I added another thanks and a dainty bow, made from Evening Evergreen twine from the Fan Baker's Twine set, to the third panel. There weren't any flowers on this section, so I have only hidden the green meadow. To the back of the card I added a Basic White layer to provide a space for a personal message.

SPRINGY THINGY CARD TUTORIAL It's time for me to share my weekly Tuesday tip or technique. This tutorial fell out of my tips/techniques book as I moved it last night and so got chosen for today's effort. It makes a card front that the receiver pulls open and the card opens out like a spring to see an inner 20cm square area. Images of a completed card using this technique are below these instructions. Practice this on some scrap paper first. MATERIALS 20cm square piece of card stock or decorative paper of your choice. Pre colour the card if you wish. I'll use white card stock so you can clearly see what to do. Pencil, rubber, ruler, craft knife, craft mat and bone scorer. HOW TOO 1) On all sides measure and make a light pencil dot at the 5cm, 10cm and 15cm mark. On my sample I will use a black marker so you can see what I did easily. 2) From the 5cm mark at the left and right side measure and mark a dot at the 10cm mark 3) From the 10cm mark at the left and right side measure in and mark a dot in at the 5cm mark from each side 4) From the 15cm mark at the left and right side measure and mark a dot at the 10cm mark. These dots make a large diamond. 5) Score between all these dots. In my image I have drawn dashes to show you were to score 6) At the top 15cm mark score down to the right side of the diamond. At the 15cm mark at right edge, score across to the bottom of the diamond. At the 5cm mark on the bottom edge, score up to the left side of the diamond. Lastly at the 5cm mark at the left edge, score across to the top of the diamond. See dashed marks I have marked for you on my sample. All these score lines will be mountain folds. That is you bend the scored line back on itself to make a mountain. 7) At the 10cm mark on all sides score into the points on the diamond. See dashed areas on my sample. These scored lines and the scored lines for the diamond are all valley folds. That is you bend the scored line in on itself to make a little valley. Here is my sample with all the scored lines bent to their respective mountain and valley folds. 8) Now all you do is gently fold the card in on itself. Start on one side and then work your way around. If you have all the scored correct lines and folds it sort of winds in like a spring. It should look like this at the front and this at the back. Rub off all marked pencil dots. After I made my sample above for you I painted the card stock with white gesso, sprayed it with various sprays. Stamped and added embellishments to turn it into a steam punk card. I then layered and stuck it to a base card. As mine is fairly embellished it doesn't fold completely flat. This is m Springy Thingy Card open Some close ups of the folded card part. Hugs Annette In Oz
I love a good fun fold card, and this is one of the best! I was inspired by a card made by Marta Jones, a demonstrator on my team. She introduced us to this fold at our last team card swap! You can see how she used the arrow fold for Christmas by following this link. The paw prints are one of the dies (not a stamp!) included in the Playful Pets Suite. They are so cute! This card is easy to make. Here is the card base: This is a standard A2 card - 1/2 sheet of cardstock scored & folded at 4-1/4". On the card front, measure and make a pencil mark in the center along both sides and the bottom edge, as shown here. Score 4 lines as indicated. Fold and burnish each scoreline with your bone folder. Red lines are mountain folds; blue lines are valley folds. Adhere the folds so they stay together without unfolding using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The designer paper to decorate your card is cut at 4" x 5-1/4". Find the center of the bottom edge at 2-5/8" and cut as shown. That gives you 3 pieces - the center piece decorates the front flap of the card and the other 2 pieces go on the inside. I turned over the 2 smaller pieces and used the back side of the paper for more contrast on my cards. The paper for the inside of my card where the sentiment is stamped is cut exactly the same as shown here using Whisper White cardstock. You'll use the large center section and the 2 smaller pieces can be saved for another project. The cute pup is cut from the designer paper using one of the dies in the bundle. I mounted him on a piece of black cardstock before cutting so he would be sturdier. The sentiment is embossed with White Stampin' Emboss Powder on a piece of Real Red cardstock. For this last card, I stamped the pup and colored him with my Stampin' Blends. The Playful Pets Suite has cute images of dogs and cats in both the stamp set and the coordinating designer paper. The Playful Pets Designer Series Paper is on sale through October 31 for only $9.78, along with 14 other beautiful patterns! Thanks for visiting my blog today.
