Craft with Cath ~twisted pop up card

Good day crafters.  Cathy back here today to share a pop up twisted card.  I created one live last night on my Facebook page, on what I call Craft with Cath.   Below it is going to be picture heavy, but it should help you in your ability to creat your own ...

First off, the finished card is 4 and 1/4 by 5 and 1/2...

 

For base of card you will need a 4 and 1/4 by 11 inch CS scored at 5 and 1/2

and a same color CS at 2 and 3/4 by 11 scored ar 2 and 1/4, 5 and 1/2 , and 8 and 1/4 , which you will need for the inside pop out part.

then you will need 4 mats of a coordinating CS cut at 2 and 1/2 by 2 and 1/2 as well as 4 of them in white at 2 and 1/4 by 2 and 1/4

Next you need an 8 and 1/2 by 10 and 3/4 in pice of Card Stock for the mechanism on the inside...scored at 5 and 3/8 on the 10 and 3/4 inch side...then turn and score at 2 and 1/4.. next 4 and 1/4 and lastly 6 and 1/4.

above shows the scores, but hard to see.

on the 5 and 3/8 score line, fold in half ..

The insert into paper trimmer, with the fold end first, up to the one inc line and mark the CS with a little tick mark at the very top and very bottom of the paper.. then move the paper to the one and a quarter inch line and mark at 2 and 1/4 and then at 6 and 1/4 inch with a little tick mark.

While the paper is still folded, make a line from the one inch mark to the 2 and 1/4 inch mark and on the other side from one inch mark to the 6 and 1/4 inch mark and then cut out the sections as shown above.

 

when  opened up it should look like the photo above.

   

above is the mats for the front of the card. I cut each one a quarter inch smaller in size.

this shows the stamp set I chose and the finished fron of the card.

Next I stamped and assembled all the mats for the inside of the card.

To get the mechanism ready for the long strip with stamped images to be added to the inside, you take the white scored and folded card stock and fold it forward so the score that is going across the center comes down and lines up with the score line that comes down the center..

and then do it to the other side.

to apply the internal stamped images, you add adhesive, liquid or journey tape to the bottom left and the top right "wings " of the white paper. going only about an inch in.

Place the accordian fold. to the fron of the base, making sure the images are not upside down. the flaps should be to the front..then take the wings and pull them together and fold them down and press the flap onto the mechanism.

Do the same to the other side.

Next you glue the center mechanism into your base card..

 And voila..the card is finished.. and I hope you will be able to use these instructions to creat your own.. Thanks for stopping by and us bloggers LOVE comments.so please some love on your way out!

Thanks and have a great day.. Happy Crafting..Cathy
