Now that Christmas card making is past, I have some time to try some of the fancy folds patterns I've been saving up.  This one is called a Pop-Up and Pull-Out Card.  I was a bit intimidated to try it.  However, I just focused on one step at a time and it turned out to be quite easy.  Now I'm just crazy about this fold and love this color combination.  See what you think.

Here is a pic of how the inside and the pul-out fold look.

Card Base

Purple 5 ½” x 8 ½”; score at 2 1/8” and 4 ¼”
1st Pattern DP (z-fold panels) 1 7/8” x 5 ¼” (cut 2) (I used two patterns.)

Card Front
Purple Small Front Panels 1 ¾” x 1 ¾”, (cut 2)
2nd Pattern DP Small Front Layer Panels 1 ½” x ½” (cut 2)
Purple Scalloped Circle Punch/Die 2 ¼”
White Circle Punch/Die 2”

Card Inside
Light Yellow Panel 4” x 5”
White Panel 3” x 4 ¾”
1st Pattern DP Strip ½” x 4 ¾”
Purple Strip ¼” x 4 ¾”

Pop Up Inside Panel
Purple Panel 3 ¾” x 3 ¾” (cut in half)
2nd Pattern DP 3 ½” x 3 ½” (cut in half)
Using Stampin’ Up Double Oval Punch, punch the scalloped oval from Purple; punch the plain oval from white.

Stamps
Stampin’ Up Fabulous Phrases: Best Wishes
Rooted in Nature: Just for You
Unknown: Happiest of Birthday to You!

Extras
Small Leaves Punch
Small Flower Punch
Tiny Flower Punch
Yellow Gems

You can pretty much follow the photo to see how the pieces fit together.  However, there is one thing that I haven't mentioned yet.

Once you get the middle DP panel and the Yellow panel adhered, fold the card in half.  You need to make two horizonal slits in this way:  3/4" in from the fold and 1 1/2" down from the top.  Then again 1 1/2" up from the bottom and 3/4" in from the fold.  

Make score lines between the two slits.  Fold with a mountain fold.  This is the place where you will adhere the triangle panel.

Coming Up Roses on an Angled Trifold Card

Whatever the season, I still like to make cards using flowers.  I was afraid I would forget this idea by the time spring arrived, so here I sat, with the snow coming now, picking out a flower-pattern paper.  The one I chose is so cheerful and actually uplifted my spirit.  What’s your reaction?  The style is called an angled trifold card and the first one I’ve done.

 

I really like the flower and leaves stamps I used.  They are from a Stampin’ Up set called “To a Wild Rose,” which also has dies to match.  However, this time I just fussy cut the images.

 

To add a little color to the inside of the card, I adhered a stem of leaves like the ones on the front of the card.  Take a closer look at the belly band and notice the beautiful mini ruffled red ribbon.  It makes a perfect embellishment.        

Measurements:
Card Base: 5-1/2″ x 11″
Optional: Basic White inside: 4″ x 5-1/4″,
DSP: 3-1/8″ x 5-1/4”, cut two
White Belly band: 3/4″ x 10″ (a second option is 10”x 1” depending on how wide the ribbon is). My ribbon is 3/8” wide so I made the belly band 3/4” x 10”.
Stampin’ Up Red Mini Ruffled Ribbon 9 ¼"
1/8” red line tape or score tape

Directions for Card Base
1. Score 3-3/8″ from each side on the 11″ side.
2. On the outside panel on the right side of the card base, with pencil make tic mark 1” down.
3. At the bottom of the right side of the card, make a tic mark 1” in.
4. Do the same on the left side of the card base
5. Cut from score line to tic mark on each one.

Directions for DP Panels
1. With the red dotted panel, on the left side make a tic 1” down from the top and 1” in at the bottom of the panel.
2. With the flower design panel, on the right side make a tic 1” down from the top and 1” in at the bottom of the panel
3. Cut from score line to tic mark on each one.
4. Adhere DP panels to the card base.

Directions for Belly Band
1. Score belly band on the left end at 3 ¼”. Wrap the long end of the band around the back of the card, and the fold over to the front placing under the left end. Make sure that you have sliding room before you glue in place.
2. Attach ruffled ribbon to the belly band using 1/8” red line tape or score tape.

Flower and Leaves:
Stamp, color, and cut out. Glue the leaves to the back of the flower. When attaching the flower and leaves to belly band, be sure you don’t glue any part of them to the card base.
