I considered a belly band, but decided against that idea. When the card is closed ... Read More about “W” Fancy Fold Card Video

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 everyone. Sharing a Z fold pop up card with butterflies. I made a background with one of new stencils from Lisa Horton Crafts which are coming soon. For the card Lisa Horton Crafts butterfly flourish dies and stamps, Daisy burst dies, Be Happy sentiment stamp, Stencil Pennies in a lane, Pearls. Papermilldirect navy and white card. Distress oxide stormy sky ink, Gansai tambi silver paint added for splatter. Acetate or packaging. A 4 navy card fold in a half and cut the edge off around 6 cm that you have 6x6 card and a strip of card for the front. Score and fold in a half the front navy card and navy strip. Cut some panels from white card for the navy card and strip card slightly smaller then the navy cards. Apply stormy sky ink to the white panel cards with stencil lightly, stamp a little butterfly randomly. Add little of stormy sky ink to the acrylic block with little bit of water and using little brush add splatter to the stenciled panels, I use one of my parcel box to add splatter to protect from going everywhere. Did add some silver splatter for sparkle using paints with water. Mat and layer stenciled panels to the card. Stamp a sentiment onto right side of the panel strip. Cut daisy burst edge die from navy card and glue to the navy strip card for the front card. Glue the strip with daisy edge to the main card that folded side of strip goes to the inside of card. Cut two strips from navy card measuring 2.5 cm wide by 9.4 cm long, score at the both ends 1 cm and fold. Add strong glue tape to the ends of strips and secure them to inside of the card. Cut acetate strips the width of 0.8 cm. Add the butterfly to the top of acetate strip with strong glue tape. Randomly add the butterflies with acetate strips to the navy strip of inside of card with strong tape. Add some smaller butterflies to the front and inside of card. Cut lots of detailed butterflies in white card and solid butterflies in navy card, mat and layer the butterflies and add pearls to the center of butterflies. Cut some flowers in white card and blend some matching colour ink to the petals and glue to the flowers on the daisy edge, add pearls to the center of flowers. Thank you for stopping by and leaving your comments. Have a wonderful and crafty day! Hugs Natalia
