Something Saturday - Pop Out Stars card

 Hi there Creators, 

Today I'm showing off this card I designed the other day, which has a pop out element with stars on it, and a dangly bit!  The Stars come from Sweetest Star bundle, (I always want to call it chubby Star bundle 🤣)  I've used the Season of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper, and Peaceful Season Bundle (stamps & dies).

The first card I made up with retired Designer Papers to try it out, measurements further down.  Here is the first card:

Then the one I make up in the video is this one:

And now for the measurements......

You'll need an A4 base card, cut down the middle and scored in 1/2 to create a long card

The outside of the card uses for the front Panel

A plain colour card 14.3cm x 6cm, then an overlay of Designer Paper 2" x 13.8cm, which has the "Christmas" die cut out of it.

Inside the card, you need 2 plain pieces 14.3cm x 10cm, and 2 Designer Paper pieces 13.8cm x 9.5cm.

The Mechanism part is 14.8cm x 2cm folded in 1/2 at 7.4cm and a fold of 1cm at each end.

You need 5 stars for the middle folded star, and 2 more for the outer stars.

fold all the stars in 1/2, so the side you want showing is on the inside of the fold, stack and glue together the 5 for the middle star, and attach them to the middle fold of the mechanism part.

Attach the other 2 stars to the outer folds of the mechanism

If you want the dangly saying, cut out 2 of the banners (these will stick back to back with the twine in between, stamp on one or both, then lay everything on the inside of your card to work out where it will sit (bearing in mind that when it folds the star needs to stay inside the confines of the card!)

You'll find it easier to attach the dangly saying before you attach the mechanism into your card, trust me!

If you missed the video here it is:

I do hope you have a go at making this, let me know what you think, and I hope this inspires you to create!

God Bless love
