Spring Retreat Best Dressed Pop Out Card

Hi Everyone,

Over the past weekend I should have been on a Spring Retreat with some of my crafty friends in Telford but it was cancelled due to the Corona Virus.  I was asked to give a demonstration and this is the Make and Take that I designed for them using the lovely Best Dressed designer series paper and lots of silver foil.  I hope that you like it.

Materials

1 piece of 6" x 11 3/4" card stock for the card base
2 pieces of dsp 5 5/8" square
1 piece of whisper white 5 5/8" square
1 piece of 1 1/2" x 11 3/4" card stock in matching colour
4 pieces of silver foil 2 3/4" x 3 1/4"
4 pieces of dsp  2 1/2" x 3"
1 piece of silver foil 5 5/8" square
1 piece dsp 5 3/8" square
Stitched So Sweetly Dies
Die cutting machine
Best Dressed dies and stamp set
So Sentimental Stamp set
30" piece of ribbon
Ink pads 
Clear blocks
Multipurpose adhesive
Dimensionals
Tear N Tape

Instructions

Score the 6" x 11 3/4" piece of card stock on the long side at 5 7/8" and fold in half to make the card base.

Score the 1 1/2" x 11 3/4" piece of card stock on the long side at 5 7/8" and then fold back on both sides to makes a W shape.

Adhere the dsp layers to inside of the card, leaving a small border all the way around the edge.

Add a strip of tear n tape to the centre of the card base both front and back and lay the ribbon on top to secure it, make sure that you leave a level amount loose to tie the bow.

Then adhere the silver foil mat and the dsp layer to the front of the card, covering the ribbon. Now adhere the 5 5/8" square piece of whisper white to the back for you to write your message.

Put a thin bead of glue along one short edge of the W strip and adhere to the centre of the left hand edge of the inside of the card. Fold the rest of the strip on top of that and then put a bead of glue on the other side and close the card and press down until the glue sticks.  The W shaped strip will now be attached across the centre of the card.



Add the dsp layers to the silver foil layers carefully, if you get glue on the wrong place on the foil its hard to get it off again.  Decide which piece you want where and stick them in place along the strip making sure that they are centred.  I've stamped on one of the squares instead of using dsp just to show what it looks like stamping instead of adding dsp.

Add some tear n tape to the back of  the card across the centre and fold the ribbon around the card and lay on top of the tape to secure

Stamp a sentiment on a piece of  scrap card  for the front. Then die cut that and a matting layer from the Stitched So Sweetly dies. Add dimensionals to the back and add to the centre front of the card.

There you go, I hope that you like it.

Happy crafting,
