You will need three pieces of cardstock for basic foundation of the card: the base measures 4.25" x 5.5", the pop out piece measures 2" x 4.5" and the sentiment strip measures 1" x 6.5".
Additional items you'll need: adhesive, stamps, additional card stock, patterned paper or other embellishments.
Score the base card stock in half (along the 5.5" side) at 2 3/4"
Score the pop out piece along the 4.5" side at .5", 2 1/4" and 4"
Score the sentiment piece along the 6.5" side at .5" and 6".
Decorate all three pieces as desired. I'm using images from the April SNSS release, Your Story and Country Garden, as well as an older set, Be Encouraged. Place adhesive on the end flaps of both the pop out piece and sentiment piece.
The next step is to adhere the pop out piece to the base. I've zoomed in so you can see how the scored lines in the middle of each piece line up exactly. Expose the adhesive on each flap, line up the scores and adhere so that the pop out piece is flat to the base.
When you fold the base in half, the dimensional piece naturally pops right out!
In a similar way, add your sentiment piece.
Make any necessary adjustments--see how my Thinking of You, originally ended up being too low? I solved that by adding a different sentiment piece and one of the cool embellishment clips from Your Story.
This is a fun card to create. Because of the pop out piece, it is easy to create dimension and focus on your favorite images. It uses a minimal amount of cardstock; you can write your greeting, message or a
scripture verse on the back. Although this card is not my original idea, the tutorial was written by me and shared freely with others. This type of card has become a favorite of mine because it is fun to make and fun to receive!
Thinking of you--Jane
