Twist and Pop Card
Making this fun card is very easy project. I have created an FCM file for you to cut on your ScanNcut, download free file here. The pattern is for a 10.5 x 14.8 card base. There are two mechanisms and two popup panels in the zipped file. One is with lines you can emboss on the ScanNcut and the other is with kiss cut lines. Just choose your preferred method.
After cutting you have the pieces shown below. The mechanism to make it pop out is the white cross shape. The blue is the pop out panel and the patterned pieces are for the card front and insides. When cutting the patterned pieces check the direction of the paper and cut accordingly.
Start with the mechanism and fold the cross fold lines diagonally and down the centre, crease well. Then close and crease the fold lines again. Open the mechanism and add strong tape on the arms, top one side, bottom the other side.
Carefully centre the tip of the folding mechanism with the centre of the card base and adhere with strong tape or other adhesive.
When one side is placed correctly place adhesive on the second side and close the card. Press well. When the card is opened now the card will unfold. Carefully adhere the patterned piece on top of the base while the card open, repeat for top and bottom.
Now is the time to add the popup piece. Making sure the centre fold is in the centre of the card adhere with post it tape to hold in place.
Starting from either side fold the outer square to the centre. Peel the backing layer of the tape and lay the panel flat across the tape. Repeat for second side.
Opening and closing the card will now create the 'twist and pop'. Decorate as desired.
