Yesterday's newsletter from Splitcoaststampers had a tutorial for a fold I had never tried, a pop up flip card.
I had colored the image from February's Imagine That DOTM Challenge the day before and thought I could use it to make this special card design for my granddaughter's upcoming birthday. Unfortunately, it was too big for an A2 card. I began adjusting the measurements in the tutorial to make an A6 or 4.5x6.25 inch card. Everything was going according to plan until I tried putting in the pop-up flip gizmo. I cut a lot of paper in a lot of different sizes and just couldn't get it to work.
I decided to just finish the A6 card as an aperture card with the image on the inside of the card but showing through to the front.

| The image was colored with watercolor pencils and markers, then fussy cut. The spray of strawberries is an old digi from Becci's Place, colored with markers and a green glitter brush. The sentiments were part of the Imagine That! DOTM, Birthday Bunny, available at a discount this month. This is a Progressive Challenge. If you use this month's digi set and enter the challenge, you will receive next month's digi set for free. Imagine That! is also having an 8th Birthday Celebration and you might want to check that out as well. |
Having failed in my attempt to make the Pop-Up Flip Card yesterday, mastering it became my goal for today. Sometimes you just have to walk away and come back at another time.
That's really all it took, and reading the directions very carefully. I thought it best to follow the tutorial as written this time and make an A2 version.
Here is my very first, successful Pop-Up Flip Card!
