Cardmaking Instructions

Begin with a sheet of card 11 inch by 8 1/4 and score at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2

The 5 1/2 score line is folded as a valley and the 2 3/4 as a mountain

The 2 smaller panels had matts and layers applied. These measure 

Matts - 8 x 2 1/2

Layers - 7 3/4 x 2 1/4

3 squares of alcohol friendly card were cut into squares measuring 2 by 2 inch. The images were stamped and coloured. These were then mounted onto squares of black measuring 2 1/4 by 2 1/4 and finally onto silver measuring 2 1/2 by 2 1/2. These were then laid onto the card base and the ones on the back panel drawn around

2 pieces of acetate was cut measuring 1/2 inch by 5 1/4. This was scored at 1,4 and 5. These were then adhered onto the middle panel only. So that they lined up with the pencil marks for the images will be eventually

Matts and Layers were then added onto the back panel to hide the pencil marks. These measured

Matts - 5 1/4 by 8

Layers - 5 by 7 3/4

The card was folded and the acetate glued into place to create the pop up mechanism

The squares were adhered onto the acetate and the front panel. See picture below

The sentiment was die cut and the panels finished with nuvo drops
