Pop Out Pull Tab Card

A fun card for you all today, my nephews would certainly love this type of card base. With hindsight I think in the future I would use a lower weight of card. I used a 320gsm but think that a lower weight would create less bulk with the fold out and a smoother mechanism

There is a full video tutorial on my YouTube Channel which you can find here

Card Making Instructions

Start with a piece of card measuring 5 inch by 6 inch and score this at 3 on the 6 inch side

On this score line make a mark 1 inch down top and bottom. Then 1 inch either side of the score line and score down to the 1 inch mark (See video for clarity) 

Fold the diagonal score lines as valleys and the vertical as a mountain

For the matts and layers you need two of each

Mats 2 3/4 by 4 3/4 

Layers 2 1/2 by 4 1/2

Onto both you need to mark one inch in on both edges at the top and 1 inch down. Join the dots and cut off the corners

You want 2 pieces of card measuring 2 1/2 by 2 3/4 and on the longest edge on one corner of both mark 1 inch in and 1 inch down. Score between the 2.

Mats and layers were added to both of these.

Mats 2 1/4 by 2 1/2

Layers 2 by 2 1/4

Fold the corner over, place glue on the folded corner and line this up with the score line on the first piece you created

Fold this back and place glue of the triangle directly behind only 

Score a sheet of 8 1/4 by 11 1/2 inch card at 5 3/4 to create a card base

I added mats & layers

Mats 5 1/2 by 8 inch

5 1/4 by 7 3/4 inch

Take a piece of card measuring 7 3/4 by 5 inch and score at 2 inch on the long edge.

Add mats and layers

Mat x1 5 1/2 by 4 3/4

Layer x1 5 1/4 by 4 1/2

Mat x1 1 3/4 by 4 3/4

Layer 1 1/2 by 4 1/2

The 2 inch part had glue added to the back and was lined up with the top of the pop out mechanism.

Glue was then applied onto the back part of the first piece of card we scored and added onto the card base

I used a piece of card measuring 6 1/4 by 1 1/2 inch and scored this at 1/2 and 5 3/4

The 2 tabs were folded under either side of the pull mechanism and the tabs were glued to the card base about 1 inch from the bottom of the card base

Mats and layers were added

Mats 5 by 1 1/4

Layer 4 3/4 by 1

The sentiments were cut and the images were stamped coloured and fussy cut and arranged both on the outside and the inside

I found that the edges of the pop out bit were catching slighlty so I rubbed over the pumpkin on the pink paper with the edge of a tea light to make it move smoother
