Pop Out Explosion Card

Create an interactive card within a card.

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Fold cardstock to create a 4 1/4” x 4 1/2” card base. Adhere designer paper to the front and inside of card.

   

2. Step 2

   To create the pop-out, fold the 6” square cardstock in half. Open it and fold in half in the other direction. Thirdly, fold on the diagonal.

   

3. Step 3

   Cut the 2-3/4” paper squares on the diagonal to create triangles. Adhere these pieces to the pop-out on the diagonal scored areas. Stamp on the undecorated panels of the pop-out if desired.

   

4. Step 4

   Make notches on all 4 sides of the pop-out using the Envelope Punch Board. Line up each side to the 3” mark on the envelope punch board and punch.

   

5. Step 5

   Glue the bottom section of the pop-out to the inside of the card. The center point of the pop-out should go up to the center score lines of the card base.
   
   Add glue to the top of the pop-out and close the card front to attach.
   

   

6. Step 6

   Wrap a belly band around the card. (For optional ribbon instructions see the video below.) Adhere the ends.
   
   NOTE:
   Leave a little space in the band so it can slip on and off easily.
