DIRCTIONS:
1.Score Cajun Craze CS at 4-1/4”. Score large piece of Very Vanilla CS along the 6” side at 2” x 4”.
2. Counting from smallest to largest use framelits 3, 4, & 5, to cut out CS as shown.
3. Fold scored Very Vanilla CS in a “mountain/valley fold” (back and forth). 4.Stamp sentiment in Soft Suede and leaves in varying colors. Stamp Vanilla square with single leaf.
5. Use adhesive liberally on 1/3 of Vanilla since it will be stressed by pulling it open.
6. With card closed, apply adhesive to Vanilla CS showing through square cutout. Place Mossy Meadow square on top. Adhere Delightful Dijon and Very Vanilla squares.
7. Cut 2 leaves using framelits and adhere with dimensional. Add candy dots.
Fold thread in 1/3s and tie knot. Adhere with glue dot
TECHNIQUES:
Pop-out Swing Card
TIPS:
1. Since the card will be pulled on, use and adhesive stronger than snail.
2. As with all my mailed cards with embellishments, I will put a 4”x 5” piece of scrap card stock in front of the card to protect it AND instructions as to opening the card.
For cards with embellishments, I place a scrap piece of card stock on top of the card (and place in envelop) with a label that says:
To protect embellishments.
Please discard.
And I’ll add:
To open, pull green square
to the left.
 |
| Stamp random leaves in different colors. |
Or something along those lines!
 |
| Cut window with #5 |
 |
| Cut squares using framelits #5, #4, #3. Stamp the vanilla with a leaf. |
 |
| Use framelits to cut out leaves for front of card. |
 |
| After scoring, stamp sentiments and leaves. |
 |
| This is the back of my card (I messed up). Yours will be blank. Apply strong adhesive to 1/3 of card and place it as shown in next picture. |
 |
| Now, close card and put strong adhesive on very vanilla showing through window. |
 |
| Place Mossy Meadow square on top. Add other squares. |
Finish card as shown above.
