pop up message card,instructions inside
 

Pop-up message card. When the two outside edges of the card are pulled a message card will pop out of the top. (See picture links below)

* Please note that I should have added another score line at 3 �” from the edge of the two pieces that form the Z shape. To do this you will score once at 2” from edge and then score again at 3 �” from edge. These two score lines when folded as pictured will form the Z shapes. (Flip one piece over after scoring so it is reversed as shown in drawing). Assemble the main card first. Score and fold the front and back pieces as described above. Refer to the top view in my drawing for placement and glue the two sections together as shown. Decorate the front of your card on a separate layer as desired and adhere it to the front of the card. Next stamp your message card and fold the left bottom corner of it back. Add adhesive just to that folded triangle. (Adhesive will be on front side of card) It is a little tricky to visualize how to adhere the message. I find the easiest way to place it is to lay the message card inside of the main card. Place it flat against the inside back and also push it all the way against the left corner fold. Now press and fold the main card shut making sure to squeeze the upper left corner layers all together. Your message will be perfectly placed now against the short mid section of the Z shaped left side panel. This card will fit in a regular business size envelope. Enjoy!
