Fancy Folds – Pop Up Step Front Panel Card

Thanks for joining us this month! We’re hopping all over the world with some fun cards. It’s time for the new Fancy Fold for this month – the Pop Up Step Front Panel Card!

The version I have made will fold flat to a standard 4.25″ x 5.5″ card size.

Start with two sheets of cardstock, the base will be 4.25″ x 10.5″.  The additional piece that will get attached is 6″ x 2 3/8″.  It can actually be any width (such as 2″, or 2.5″, mine just happened to end up being 2 3/8).

Score the long piece at these marks:  .5″,  1.75″,   3.75″,  5″

Score the smaller piece at these marks:  .5″,  1.75″

All the sides facing the front will get decorated with your choice of paper. I used the gorgeous new Butterfly Bijou DSP with a Black border.

Here is what I created:

To assemble this, place all your decorated DSP on the panels first, then glue it together.

Here is the reference to show how it rolls up:

You can decorate the faces with a border, without a border, with a small border, or a large one.  It’s your choice. For mine, I actually made some of the DSP border sizes different. It wasn’t on purpose.. but it still turned out great! 🙂

Here’s a close up of some of the Wink of Stella I added to the butterflies… It really sparkles in person!

And check this out – the sentiment is from the Ride the Range stamp set – the one with cows and hay!  Who knew it would go great with the butterflies!

Since there really is no “inside” to write in, I used the back! Don’t forget to decorate that!

I love how the Brilliant Wings dies will cut out the big butterflies on the Butterfly Bijou DSP – no coloring needed – fantastic!

The great thing about this is that it will fold up flat to a standard card size.

I was so excited after I made this one, I love the colors together and the butterflies are spectacular! I hope you like it, too!
