Interactive pop-up card technique ~ bird theme

 Hello.  Today, on the Unity blog, I am sharing an interactive pop-up card technique featuring a fun bird on the inside and on the outside.

Sentiment:  
Oh hello!  Miss you like crazy.

I made a quick video tutorial showing the process for this project.

Almost any pop-up element cut-out can be used with many different stamps to create a similar interactive pop-up feature inside of a greeting card.

Helpful tips:

Here are helpful tips for this interactive pop-up card.  To begin, prepare an A2 sized card base.  Next, stamp, color and trim a top panel with the bird, heart and sentiment.  Also, stamp, color and fussy cut another bird plus a separate inside sentiment.  Then, stamp two sets of branches directly onto the edges of the card base.  Next, trim or die-cut a pop-up element for the inside of the card.  Then, fold and glue the end tabs, centering the pop-up fold to match the card base fold line, so that it closed flat.  Then, adhere the cut-out stamped decorations to the pop-up inside element.  (Be sure that when closed, the decorations remain within the card before adhering it all.)  Finally, layer the front panel over the card base, to finish.

Card base:  cut 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", score 4 1/4".
Front panel: cut approximately 3" x 4 1/2"
