My tutorial today is yet another first for me.
I have been cardmaking for about 27 years now
but my cards were always commissions so I rarely
got time to actually play about with different folds and techniques.
This one is called a
Free Standing Pop Up Card!
There is room on the back for a nice verse.
And it folds flat for posting!!
(Without the peg of course lol)
This is really quick and easy and can be adapted to any size you want.
I made a birthday version on my first go but totally
forgot to keep the decoration flat...doh!
It obviously needs to be flat so it can slide to flat position.
But I will be handing this over rather than posting so
I won't tell anyone if you won't!!😂
Bit of a crooked angle lol but the weather is shocking
this weekend and indoor photos are not my forte!
Measurements I used to make these cards
Card - 4 1/4" x 11"
Score - 1", 2 3/4", 3 3/4", 5 1/2", 7 1/4", 8 1/4", 10"

White card for decorating - 2 1/2" x 5 1/4"
