Hello everyone, this blog post marks the start of my Creative Card Series.
Over the next 2 weeks, I will be sharing with you my favourite greeting cards. Every card I share will have some kind of mechanism and I have made sure, with lots of research that they are easy to follow.
To kick-start this fortnight of wonderful cards I have this fun
Twist & Pop card
I watched so many YouTube videos for this one, some of them scared me with how complicated they were making the mechanism!
After lots of playing around and experimenting, I have come up with this lovely 6 x 6 version.
To make this card you will need…
12 x 6 card for the main outer shell.
Score along the 12′ side at 6′
8 x 3.1/2 card for the mechanism
Score along 8′ side at 4′ & put a notch at 2.1/4 and 5.3/4 flip the card over so the other 8′ side is now at the top and notch the same to points as before.
Score along 3.1/2 side at 1.3/4
11 x 3.3/4 card for the long panel
Score along 11′ side at 2.3/4, 5.1/2 & 8.1/4
3 pieces 5.3/4 x 5.3/4 patterned paper to decorate the front and the inside.
4 pieces of 3.1/2 x 2.1/2 for the long panel.
My paper is old Stampin Up ‘Party Animal’
My Happy Birthday die is unbranded from China and my Bunting die is by Sweet Dixie
Check out my full tutorial below to see how I made it.
As you can see I made quite a few testing out other peoples videos.
I hope you liked mine.
Happy crafting
