Double Flap Pop-Up Thank You Card
Instructions:
1. For the card front: Place the card with the fold on the left. Cut 4½"x6" Sunflowers brown swirly boards cardstock and mat it on tan cardstock with ⅛" borders. Cut 3½"x4½" Sunflowers corner design cardstock and mat it on brown cardstock with 1/16" borders. Glue it to the first cardstock along the right edge of the swirly boards cardstock.
2. Place two gold thin line Dazzles™ on the cardstocks near the right edge as shown, trimming the excess. Wrap tan gingham ribbon across it, 1¾" from the bottom, and glue the ends to the back. Glue the cardstock centered on the card front. Make a 4-loop bow with the same ribbon and tie the center with thread. Glue the bow to the first ribbon, 1⅜" from the right card edge.
3. Ink the edges of the “thanks” die-cut lightly with Tangerine ink, then foam tape it at at the upper left. Mat the “you brighten my days” cutout on orange cardstock with 1/16" borders, then foam tape it as shown.
4. Die cut six small flowers from orange and yellow cardstocks and three centers from brown cardstock. Die cut three leaves from dark and light green cardstocks. Ink the edges of the yellow flowers with Mustard, the orange flowers with Tangerine, and the leaves with Khaki. Gently curve the petals and leaves with the bone folder. Glue two flowers together, then glue a center to it. Repeat with all the flowers. Glue the flowers and leaves as shown.
5. For the inside: Die cut the pop-up from tan solid cardstock and follow the package directions to attach it to the inside. Cut two 3"x6" Sunflowers tan border cardstocks and glue one on each side of the mechanism as shown. Place two gold thin line Dazzles™ near the outer edge of each cardstock, trimming the excess.
6. Trace and cut two each of the inside paper patterns from Sunflowers chicken wire cardstock and ink the edges with Muddy Boots. Glue them to the pop-up panels. Ink the edges of the “thankful for you” and the tan script die-cut with Tangerine. Glue the sentiment die-cut to the left pop-up flap. Attach tan gingham ribbon to the script tag die-cut, then glue it to the right flap.
7. Create three more double flowers as for the front. Die cut four leaves from light and dark green cardstocks, then ink and curve them as before. Glue the leaves and flowers as shown.
