A Fun & Fabulous Card, The Pop & Twist Card

This is my first Pop & Twist Card and I think it will be the first of many!! It was a little bit of a challenge at the beginning but I think I've got it figured out now 😉

As many mistakes that I did and had to fix, it turned out pretty good... The major one was I put all the inside panels on the wrong way! So, thank goodness for the heating trick, I heated all the panels and removed them and put them on right!

Instructions:

Card Base: This is cut to 4 1/4" x 11" and scored in half at 5 1/2"

Panel Piece: This piece is cut to 3 1/2" x 11 and scored every 2 3/4"... so 2 3/4", 5 1/2" & 8 1/4" and fold in the Mountain & Valley or Accordion way

Mechanism: This piece is cut to 3 1/2" x 8", scored in half on the short side at 1 3/4. On the long side, you are going to just make a mark at 2 1/4" and 5 3/4" on both sides. Line those marks up and score to make an X (as seen in image 2), you can also see how it is to fold so once you have it folded like in Image 1, adhere to the inside of your card base.

You can see in Image 3 where to put the Tear & Tape, use a strong adhesive and only at the edges where you see mine! Next is adhering the panel piece which can be tricky 😂 You can see how to (NO ADHESIVE) just place it in Image 4, kinda making the "M" being to the bottom of the card. Remove the adhesive from the bottom (left) side first, then just carefully close the card. Next take the right side of the whole panel and bring it up the middle of the mechanism like seen in Image 5, carefully remove the adhesive from the other side and close your card the same way.
