Holiday Pop Up & Stand Fun Fold Card

While surfing YouTube to get some inspiration for a team swap, I came across a similar card by Lisa Curcio. I put my own spin on it by changing up the sizes a bit, adding details to the backside and using some different stamp sets. The side view shows how the score lines come together to create an easel/box bottom for this card. When folded flat this is the view of the card.  It even fits in a standard medium envelope for easy mailing!

 Measurements

• Garden Green Cardstock
  • Card Base is cut 4 1/4″ x 10″.
    • Score at 1 1/4″, 2 1/2″, 3 3/4″, 5″, 6 1/4″, 7 1/2″ and 8 3/4″
    • On the 5” score line, measure in ½” and cut slit down to 3 ¾” mark
  • 3 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ (layer)
• Real Red cardstock
  • 3″ x 4 1/2″ (layer)
  • 2 pcs @ 1” x 4” (front and back panels)
• Whisper White cardstock
  • 2 pcs @ 2 3/4″ x 3 3/4″ (front and back panels)
  • Scrap for snowflakes
  • Scrap for sentiment

Assembly Instructions:

After scoring the Garden Green card base and cutting the slit, fold and burnish all score lines with your bone folder.

Next, let’s stamp.  On one of the panel pieces of the Whisper White cardstock, center and stamp the Santa image from the Holly Jolly Christmas stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. On the other panel piece, using the Pool Party ink, stamp the snow flake image, from Snowman Season, in the upper left corner and lower right corners. Then add the “Happy Holidays” sentiment from Itty Bitty Christmas with the Real Red ink. Last, with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, stamp “Ho Ho Ho” from Perfectly Plaid on a piece of scrap and punch out using the Classic Label punch. Since we are punching, go ahead and punch out 3 snowflakes using the snowflake punch from the Every Season punch pack.

I love coloring using our Stampin’ Blends and this Santa image is a fun one to color. Of course, you could also use our Stampin’ Write Markers if you don’t have Blends.  I used the Soft Suede Combo for the Teddy Bear, the Crumb Cake combo for Santa’s bag, dark Call Me Clover for the presents and the light Cherry Cobbler for the candy cane and bows on the presents.  Ivory was used for Santa’s face and the light Flirty Flamingo was perfect to give Santa his rosy checks and nose. The dark Daffodil Delight gives Santa’s belt buckle that gold color and dark Basic Black was used for his belt, boots and mittens. I also used the black for teddy’s nose.  I finished up Santa’s suit using the Cherry Cobbler combo.  The last thing I did was to give the ball on Santa’s cap some dimension by using the Snowfall Accents Puff Paint.

Now we can put it all together and assemble this fun card. (See the pictures below for further reference).

1. Adhere Garden Green and Real Red layers together using tear and tape or liquid glue.  The Real Red panel is centered with the same border at the top and the two sides leaving the larger border at the bottom.
2. Adhere the Whisper White panels to front and back, also leaving the larger border at the bottom.
3. On Garden Green card base, fold top and bottom sections forward. 
4. Slide the layered panel into the slit and center.
5. Using liquid glue or tear and tape, attach the panel to the card base aligning edges at the bottom of the folded section.
6. Add Glue or tape across the bottom and folding forward from the center, glue top to bottom, aligning at the bottom edge.
7. Next, attach the 1” x 4” pcs to the center sections on the front and back.  I attached my sentiment and snowflakes with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals first and then adhered to the card base, but you could adhere the real red layer first and then add the sentiment and snowflakes.
8. To stand, just press down on the center slit/score line to form the box and you have an easy Pop Up and Stand, Fun Fold Card.

·        Dino Dies

·        Stitches Shapes Dies

·        Layering Square Dies

·        Dinoraur Designer Series Paper

Measurements:

·        Whisper White Thick (Card Base):

•  2 pieces @ 10 1/8" x 4" scored at 4 3/4"
• On the 4 ¾ side – measure 4” down and make a pencil tick mark. Then score diagonally from opposite corner of the tick mark on the 4 ¾” end down to the tick mark. Do this on both pieces.

·        Whisper White

·        5 1/8" x 3 3/4" (inside)

·        Scrap to cut largest Stitched Shapes Square

·        Scrap for die cut/punched shape

·        Flirty Flamingo Cardstock:

·        3 3/4" x 3 3/4" cut diagonally

·        5 1/4" x 3 7/8" (inside)

·        Scrap to cut second largest Scalloped Layering Square die

·        2 pieces @ 1/2” x 3 7/8”

·        Dinoroar DSP:

·        3 ½ x 3 ½” cut diagonally

·        2 pieces @ 3/8” x 3 ¾”

·        24" ribbon

Assembly Instructions:

After scoring the thick whisper white card bases, folding and burnishing on the 4 ¾” line, fold and burnish on the diagonals.  One piece should be folded so that it is folded on the back of itself and to the bottom left.  The other should be folded on itself and to the top right. Then glue together so that the larger centers are on top of each other and the diagonal folds meet in the middle and are aligned.  Next glue the 5 1/8” x 3 ¾” piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock to the center section.

Glue the diagonally cut DSP and cardstock on to each other and then glue those sections to the folded diagonal sections of the thick whisper white cardstock.  You can then glue the little strips of cardstock and DSP to each other and glue to the outer left and right sections on the front of the card.

On the inside whisper white piece, stamp with the Happy Birthday cupcakes stamp from the Hoot, Hoot Hooray set using Tuxedo Black Memento ink, color with the listed Stampin’ Blends, punch corners with the Detailed Trio punch and glue to the cardstock layer. Stamp dinosaur onto scrap of whisper white using Melon Mambo ink.

Next die cut: 1) dinosaur, 2) the largest Stitched Shapes square out of whisper white scrap and 3) second largest Layering Squares scalloped die out of the scrap piece of cardstock.

Stamp sentiment on the whisper white square in Melon Mambo and then glue to cardstock square.  Pop up the dinosaur with dimensionals and attach to the square.  Probably the most complicated part of the whole card is getting the orientation of this front piece correct.  Reference the attached pictures to help. When you open the card completely the square piece is facing toward you. But when you close the card, due to the twist, the square turns, and is facing the side.  You will first need to wrap the ribbon around the card.  Center it across the middle of the card and match up both ends of the ribbon to the right side.  Take a small piece of tear and tape to attach the ribbon to the card behind where the square will be attached.  Then glue the square piece to the front.  Be sure you only place glue on the top diagonal section. To be sure you’ve got it on straight, align the top right corner and the bottom left corner in the center crack of the card.  Add the bling with the enamel shapes, tie the ribbon into a bow at the right side and you are done.
