I'm not sure where I saw this fold originally, so my apologies to the original designer, as I have only saved the metric measurements when I redesigned it for our Australian dimensions. But this is a fabulous card to make- easy and with a wow factor- AND it showcases some gorgeous paper.
I'm not sure what it is called but it has a pop up element and a swing element so I'm calling it a Pop-Up Swing Card.
You can see some new paper from the Harvest Meadow suite, and the flowers are from the Sale-A Bration thinlits.
Celebrate with Flowers.
so here's the measurements:
Adhere the DSP to the front and the inside of the card
Cut a circle with your diecut machine using 6.7cm die, set aside
Cut additional layer circle if desired using 6cm die
score and crease the folds in the popup element, this will sit like a box when the card is opened so you can think of it as having four faces. Adhere the first face to the inside of the card over the DSP placing it in the centre of the space where your circle window is cut.
Trim a scant 2 mm from the other end of the popup mechanism, crease along the centre fold line so that your trimmed edge now sits close to the spine- the 4th face is directly over the first face, apply adhesive to this face being careful not to have any glue where the circle window will sit, close your card onto the fold mechanism.Now when you open the card you will have a box that stands up.
Score and burnish the fold in your swing element. adhere the 2.5cm portion to the 2.5cm face of the pop up element, Your circle will be adhered to the 3cm end of this piece.
I will post photos soon to show these steps more clearly.
