Here in the UK Mother's day is coming up very soon! In fact in just over a weeks time ! So with that and Easter being not to far away as well spring colours and flowers blooming all around my hands just had to reach for the Easter Joy suite which includes these fun papers
As well as these oh so adorable stamps and dies.
There is also the fun coordinating Easter time mix and match ephemera.
I used the Ephemera pack to decorate this version of the fun fold card for a wow Mother's day card.
Once the belly band is removed the fun pop up box is revealed
The card is created by making a cardbase from a piece of cardstock measuring 14.85cm x 21cm scored at 10.5cm ( 5½" x 8½" scored at 4¼") Then adhere mats to the inside before creating the pop up box mechanism.
The mechanism starts with a piece of cardstock measuring 20cm x 11cm (7½" x 4¼") . Next score along the long edge at 2cm, 6.5cm, 11cm and 15.5cm (½" , 2¼", 4" 5¾")
Then score along the short edge at 4.5cm and 9cm ( 1¾" and 3½")
Now burnish all the scorelines and cut as shown in the diagram below.
To make the box up please watch the video here to see how it goes together.
For the Mother's day version I have also added a simple bar to adhere ephemera to by taking a 1cm x 7cm (⅜" x 2¾") piece of cardstock and scoring it at 1cm (⅜"). I then adhered this in side the box so that it stretched across the box once in place secured on the inside on one side only.
Here are some pictures of the card I made during the video.
