Standing Pop-Up Friendship Card
For the card: Use the circle die to cut two card bases from blue cardstock and two from light green cardstock. Follow the package directions to fold the scores in mountain and valley folds. Follow the directions and use the 2-sided tape to secure the folded circles into 3-dimensional pop-ups and to secure the pop-ups together, beginning with a green pop-up and alternating the colors.
For the front & back: Die cut a quarter-circle from the corner of a green Secret Garden border paper and glue it centered on the front. Cut out the Secret Garden “to my dear friend” label and mat it on white cardstock with 1/16" borders. Glue it to the front as shown.
Cut two 10" lengths of lime ribbon and use tape to secure one end of one to the front and one to the back, both extending from the curved edges and ¼" from the bottom. Punch out the Secret Garden pink banner die-cut and cut to 3½" long. Foam tape it to the lower front, extending from the left edge and covering the ribbon end. Die cut a quarter-circle from Secret Garden blue corner paper and glue it centered on the back.
Use the markers to color the chipboard pieces. I used Yellow Green, Gold Yellow, Burnt Orange, Gold Brown, Aqua Blue, True Blue, and Alpine Green. Paint the butterflies with glitter ink and let them dry. Glue a flower and butterfly to the front as shown.
For the inside sections: Die cut quarter-circles from Secret Garden papers, utilizing the borders as much as possible and matching the cardstock colors. Glue them to the upper panels. Die cut eight eighth-circles from Secret Garden flourishes papers. Place silver scalloped thin line Dazzles™ on each paper, ¼" from the curved edge, trimming the excess. Glue the papers centered on the lower panels.
Refer to the photographs for gluing and foam-taping the die-cuts, cutouts, and chipboard pieces to the inside panels. When gluing an item that overlaps two lower panels, be sure to glue just one half of the cutout or die-cut to one of the panels so the unglued half can extend upward when the card is closed.
