Pop out Easter Basket spring card

 Spring is here! The daffodils are abundant,  the daylight is stretching and finally the sun has decided to put in an appearance ๐ŸŒž. As a child summer was my favourite season but now as a sometimes grown up I love Spring. So what's your favourite season? With a little spring in my step I decided to share a fun pop out card.  This fun fold has a mini card inside that springs out to greet you when you open it! I've chosen to decorate the card with the adorable bunnies from the Easter Basket stamps and dies bundle. Don't be put of by the name the images in this set will work for so many occasions the images are just soooo cute!

The pattern papers used in this sample are from a pack called True Blue Floral.  ( Sadly this product of the month exclusive has sold out in the UK so check your market for availability. )
I've used lots of layers for this project but remember when you make your version you do you! Different colours and different pattern papers make each card as unique as you and the lucky recipient.

The card , as almost all do ๐Ÿ˜œ, starts with a card base made from a piece of cardstock! This one is a larger square card made from a piece measuring 14.5cm x 29cm scored at 14.5cm ( 5½" x 11" scored at 5½").
You're also going to need a piece of cardstock measuring 10cm x 20cm scored at 10cm (4" x 8" scored at 4" .
The mechanism piece is made from a piece of cardstock measuring 5cm x 10cm scored at  1cm, 5cm and 9cm ( 2" x 4" scored at ⅜", 2" and 3⅝"). Next mark along the bottom at 2cm and 8cm ( ¾" and 3¼") Now mark down the center scoreline from the top to 2cm ( ¾"). Next you're going to score diagonally from the center mark out to the 2cm and 8cm ( ¾" and 3¼") marks as shown below.  Please note diagram not to scale and only shows cm's but the inch measurements are above.

The card is what I call a mantlepiece card. When open it lays flat with the pop out proudly displayed.
