Tiered wiper card with the Wild Bunch

 Boy is it hot here today ! I'm just not built for this kind of heat in my well insulated for cold weather house 🔥 but on the plus side the sky is blue and the light is amazing 😃 as the song says "always look on the brightside" after all 😝. So back to the real important stuff  the crafting... today's inspiration is a tiered wiper card . This kinetic card has surprise elements that are sure to appeal to all. And of course let's not forget the adorable critters in the Wild bunch stamp set. 

These cuties are only available whilst stocks last as a part of the Product of the Month from Stampin' Up! So run don't walk!

This fun fold folds flat for posting ...

...and stands really well for display.

But the real fun is the surprise element that pop out when the card is extended!

This card also gives plenty of card estate, ( that's real estate for cards 😉), for all that beautiful pattern paper in your stash! The papers used in this sample are from a pack called Beautiful Ordinary Life. The colours in these papers are great for anytime of the year but work so well in the sunshine 🌞.  Oh and as they're double-sided the other side of these paper are all black and white!

The reverse of the card is where I chose to add a space for my personal message but I couldn't resist adding a little decoration 😝

Now for the measurements to create this card you'll need...

Cardstock pieces measuring 14.85cm x 10.5cm (4¼" x 5½"), 10.5cm x 12.4cm ( 4¼" x 4½"), 10.5cm x  9.85cm ( 4¼" x 3½"), and 10.5cm x 7.4cm ( 4¼" x 2½"). The panels will the tiered part of the card.

For the wiper mechanisms you'll need 3 pieces each measuring 3cm x 17cm ( 1⅛" x 6¾") each scored at 2cm, 7.5cm, 9.5cm, and 15cm ( ¾", 3", 3¾" and 6"). Then you need to mark at 1.5cm ( ⅝") either side of the 9.5cm ( 3¾") scoreline as well as 1.5cm ( ⅝") down from the top of the same scoreline. Next score from the left-hand mark to the center mark and the right-hand mark to the center mark to create a V shaped score as shown below.

You'll also need 3 pieces of cardstock each measuring 1cm x  7cm (⅜" x 2¾"). These will become the wiper arms and can be trimmed to suit once the card is assembled. 

Watch the video below to see how easily this card comes together ❤️ 

This is such a fun card that can be decorated in so many ways to suit all themes and ages from balloons to flowers to sentiments to names... so many ideas! 💡 

How will you decorate yours?

However you decide to play always remember to...

Have Fun
