This is the most dramatic pop-up mechanism I have
ever come across.
It's much easier than it looks and no measuring required!
I've used a DL size for my card.
( I like to make it slightly wider than standard,
I score along the A5 half fold score line
and it still fits easily into a DL envelope).

'golics' has made a video tutorial at 'instructables',
here's the link: pop up flowers
He has tons of fabulous 3D projects.
He's very fast with his instructions so I've included
two download sheets to help:
1) Glue positioning guide
2) Flower positioning guide
The sentiment stamp (miss you) is from Paula Pascual's
'Big Sentiments' set.

I layered two of the flowers from my
'Six Petal Flowers' download sheet.
Printed onto red lightweight card, cut out and
glittered with black holographic glitter.
The embossed background was made using:-
Craft concepts embossing folder 'Budding vine'

'LOVE' was a free stamp from a stamping mag
(quite some time ago).
I'll find the mag and post the details -
it has to be one of my most used stamps.
I stamped onto red card using VersaMark and
embossed with 'detail gold' embossing powder.
Glue Positioning Guide
Only use a dot of glue as shown.
If you glue the whole petal the flowers
won't pop up correctly.
Guess how I know that!!!

Hi Elaine,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful card and a great idea.
Thanks for sharing the template and the download sheeds with instructions. It made it a lot easier to glue the flowers together.
I have made the card with different flowers now.

Thank you for the diagrams for the 7 flower pop up card. I wanted to teach my card class how to make the card and this will definitely help them be able to put it together.
