Butterfly Pop-Up Card


Tonight during my Tuesday Night Stampin' Club Facebook LIVE I made a fun fold card....a V-fold Pop Up Card!  A Demonstrator friend of mine posted a V-fold card this morning and I knew right when I saw it that I had to make one of these pop-up cards using the Butterfly Brillance Collection!

You can watch the replay below to see how I made the card and some tips on scoring with your bone folder and cutting your Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper.  Keep on reading for instructions and supplies used.

HOW TO MAKE A V-FOLD POP-UP CARD

  1. Start with a Basic White Card Base cut at 8" x 5-1/4"
  2. Score at 4" to fold the card in half.
  3. Mark 2" down from the top on the center score line.
  4. Use a ruler to line up the top corner and center mark 2" down and score with a bone folder.  Use a foam mat underneath to get a deep score line.
  5. Do the same from the other top corner to the center score line mark.
  6. Fold on the score lines to create a V that will fold into the card as shown below.
  7. Adhere an element to the right side of the center fold taking care that it will fit inside of the card.


I absolutely LOVE the Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper and it is only available until May 3 or while supplies last!  A circle punched out of the Natural Touch Specialty Paper really adds a nice organic feeling to the card.  That too is exclusive to the Butterfly Bouquet Promotion from now until May 3.




  Craft for a Cause!

Would you like to help with my next Crafting for a Cause initiative?  Your participation will help me in raising funds to plant wildflowers in The Woodland Walk at Raven Glen Forest Preserve, which is a specified quarter-mile walk that is dedicated to all children and siblings who have left us too soon.  The Northern Lake County Chapter of The Compassionate Friends, in partnership with the Lake County Forest Preserve District, is working toward restoring the wooded walk with trees, shrubs, flowers, and benches.  For each planting that is dedicated to an individual, an engraved nameplate will be added to the plaque " Our Children Remembered".  My goal is to raise enough funds to have five nameplates for the five families that I personally know who have lost a little angel.   

When you purchase any of the items from the Butterfly Brillance Collection (or any current Butterfly stamp set/punch/die), I will donate 20% of the sale to the Woodland Walk Memorial. Scroll down to see the items available and please use the Host Code shown here.

Hidden Message Fun Fold from Tuesday Night Stampin' Club


If you missed Tuesday Night Stampin' Club last night, I hope you'll be able to watch sometime soon!  This Hidden Message Fun Fold card is actually quite easy to do!  My original card (shown below) used the Magnolia Blooms stamp set and the bulk Magnolia Lane DSP. 
I love how last night's card turned out...and I'm sad that the Abstract Impressions Stamp set and Springtime Thinlit Dies I used are retiring...but they are on sale so don't miss out!  Check out the supplies listed at the end of the post.

Instructions:
  1. Cut a sheet of DSP into a 4" x 12" strip.  Score at 4 1/2" and 9".  Fold on scorelines to create a Z fold.
  2. Take one sheet of Colored Cardstock.  Score at 5 1/2".  Cut in half at 4 1/4".  Take one half and cut 2" off the long 11" edge so it measures 9" x 4 1/4"....this is the card front and middle.  Trim the other half along the 11" edge at 5 3/4"...this is the card back, plus a small section to attache to the card front.
  3. Attach the card back by adhering the 1/4" flap to the card "middle".
  4. Adhere the DSP backward Z to the inside of the 4-1/4" x 9" FRONT, lining both pieces up on the outer edge.
  5. Die-cut and oval about a 1/2" from the edge on the front.  Fold the middle part of the backward Z DSP over where you just cut the oval and cut the same oval through the middle part of the "Z" DSP.
  6. Lay the middle section of DSP over the middle section of the colored cardstock and adhere the extra stamped greeting.
