Instructions

On the long side score the night of navy card at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.

Adhere the dsp layers to the front and both sections of the inside.

On the long side score the basic white at 1/4", 1 1/4", 2 1/4", 3 1/4" fold and burnish, this forms the stand for the pop up to be adhered to.

Run some adhesive along the outside of the 1/4" tab, fold down on the 1 1/4" tab and bring the other end over to meet it to form a tube. Adhere this in place in the centre of the card, attaching to both sections of the inside of the card.

Die cut three of the framed ovals in basic white and 3 in night of navy so that you can use the white centres inside the navy frames, set the others aside for another card.

Stamp sentiments on all three white ovals using night of navy ink.

Stamp some flowers using the darker colour for the outline and then the paler colours for the infill. Punch these flowers out. Punch some leaves using the Bough Punch and the Petal Park Builder Punch.

Fussy cut some additional flowers and leaves from the dsp for decorating the ovals.

Arrange the stamped flowers and punched out leaves on the tube, add some with adhesive and the smaller ones with mini dimensionals to give some depth to the display.

Adhere one navy oval behind the floral display and one on the base of the card below the display and then add the white ovals inside them. Decorate with some of the fussy cut items.

Add the remaining oval to the front of the card with the remaining sentiment oval and decorate with some of the flowers and add some gems.

The finished card can be displayed standing as normal or open to show off the pop up flowers on the side.

Please pop over and see what everyone else has been making, I'm sure that you will be inspired, I always am.
