This card fold is easy and fun and can be modified to suit whatever size you need. The simple pop-up feature appears when the card is opened and allows the sentiment and embellishments to be seen from both the front and inside of the card!
1. Start with a piece of cardstock measuring 8" x 53/4". Place it horizontally on your score board and score at 1/2", 2", 21/2", and 4". Make valley folds along each score line.
2. Bring the left hand edge to the last score line (which is, in fact, the centre of your card). Add glue or very strong double sided tape to the 1/2" section as show in the pictures below.
3. Bring the right hand side of the cardstock over the glue and press in place. Allow to dry thoroughly.
Your card should fold flat when closed.
4. To decorate, you'll need one piece of patterend paper measuring 37/8" x 55/8", two pieces measuring 15/8" x 55/8", and one piece measuring 3/8" x 55/8". Use glue or double sided tape to secure the patterned paper to your card. (NOTE: If preferred, you can use a piece of plain cardstock for the centre of the card rather than patterned paper)
5. Cut an image panel for the front of your card in any shape you desire. I decided on a circle, but you could use a square, a rectangle or even a large image if you prefer.
6. Using glue or strong tape, secure the image panel to the 1/2" section of the card ONLY. Do not attach the image panel to the first section of the card or the pop-up won't work. See the photos below.
7. Add embellishments and stamped sentiments to complete your card.
