Daisy Corner Pop-Up Card

Annie’s Ink-Lings

Hello friends,

I just learned this new fold and am excited to share it with you.  Some call it the Daisy Corner Pop-Up Card and others call it the Daisy Corner Flip-Down Card.  You can choose which name you like best.  😊  The directions seem a bit lengthy but the card is quite easy to make and really doesn't take that long to assemble once you get all the pieces cut.  I hope you will give it a try as it is definitely a fun fold.

The card base is 8” x 8” white card stock.

Score on two sides at 4”

On the upper right quadrant pencil in the words “Inside of Card.”

Fold the card base both ways at the 4” score lines, using a bone folder.

On the lower right quadrant, score from the bottom point to the center of the card.

At ¼” on the left side of the score line, cut away the rest of that section.

Fold the ¼” strip upward and use bone folder

 Turn the card base over and place an “X” in the center of the upper right quadrant.  This is where you adhere the decorative paper panel.

Cut a 3 ¾”  by 3 ¾” decorative paper panel.  On the back of the panel, use the tape runner on all four sides plus across the middle three of times.  Adhere to the card base over the “X.”

Place a 2 ¾” circle die in the center of the decorative paper panel.  Hold in place with a piece of Washi Tape.

In order for you to use your Big Shot, fold the left portion of the card base over the die and decorative paper panel of the card base.  Run through a Big Shot.  Don’t be concerned about the indentation that shows on the opposite side as it will be covered up.

Cut two more 3 ¾” x 3 ¾” decorative paper panels; one like the front panel and one that coordinates with it.  Adhere those in place.

 On a 3” x 3” square of white card stock, stamp a flower and a sentiment.  For the flower, I used the Stampin’ Up set called Daisy Delight and Distress Inks, stamping the flower base with Dried Marigold and the outline stamp with Carved Pumpkin, the stem with Mowed Lawn, the flower buds with Dried Marigold. Use black ink for the sentiment.   Adhere the panel over the decorative paper on the upper right quadrant.

With the inside of the card facing up, fold the lower half of the card up.  Add strong tape to the ¼” diagonal strip and remove the protective strip.  While holding the right side steady, fold the left side of the card over the right side, making sure that the ¼” strip is securely adhered.

When you open the card, the flip panel will slide down.

Using the original circle die and another that is just a bit larger, cut out  a round frame from white card stock.  Adhere the circle frame to the front of the card around the round cut out.

* * *

Stamp two Daisies from the Stampin’ Up Daisy Delight stamp set using Carved Pumpkin. Lightly color the Daisies with a Fantastix Coloring Brush using the Dried Marigold.  Punch them out using the Stampin’ Up Daisy punch.  Slightly mold the petals of both Daisies.  Use mounting tape to adhere them together.  Glue the assembled Daisy to the card, centering it in the circle.  Add a jewel on the center of the punched daisy and one on the small stamped Daisy for the finishing touch.

If you need help with the directions, please let me know.

Blessings,

Annie
