To make this popout A5 card you
need to Print the following.
I printed everything onto light
printable card 160gsm
3 Borderless A4 Landscape sheets
of backing papers in coordinating designs
(A tutorial for borderless printing is available on the Crafters
Companion web site, even if you cannot do borderless printing it will show you
how to reduce the white edges. You will need to trim off any white edges and
adjust the size of your card accordingly) Borderless Tutorial
1 sheet of Card Companions
1 sheet of Sentiments
2 sheets of Borders
1 sheet of Tags
1 sheet of Ribbons
1 A5 insert with verse
I also used
Coordination card
Lace and Ribbon for trimming tag.
Stickles glitter
Using the A4 card you want for the
outside score for a A5 card and fold in half .
Do the same with the card you have
chosen for the inside of the apeture. Score on the wrong side.
Score on the front for a A5 card
as before.
Then on the reverse side score
both sides for a gatefold card.
Fold so that yours looks like the
ones below.
Depending on what shape you have
chosen for your Card Companion you need to cut an apeture from the pop out
sheet. I used a Diesire die laid halfway across the fold.
The apeture needs to be slightly bigger
than the topper.
There are several apeture shapes
on the Ultimate Pro which you can use.
Cut out the apeture carefully keeping
the piece whole as you are going to need it later.
Assembling the card
Lay the open card base front side
down on to your mat.
Take your apeture lining card
which you scored in half.
Stick the lefthand side onto
the base card with a wet glue, I used collal all purpose as you need to be able
to move the card to get a perfect fit.
Once this dries it strengthens
your card.
DO NOT STICK THE RIGHT HAND
SIDE DOWN.
You are now ready to attach the
apeture piece.
Open the card so that the lining
paper is facing up.
Stick the two outside sections,
making sure you match the edges.
Again I use wet glue so that I can
move the card around but it is important that you remember only glue the
outside panels and do them one at a time.
Fold the insert in half and then try for size in the back
section of the card. Trim if necessary. Stick in place.
On the plain side Stick the aperture you cut out and put
one of the small toppers on, add a bow if you wish.
Making the hanging decoration.
Take the large
topper and mat onto Coordinations or as I did cut a smaller shape using a die
and stick this on the back of the topper.
Cut a piece of ribbon to suspend the decoration on and
stick it to the back using the small topper.
Suspend the decoration from the centre bend in the card.
Decorate the inside panels as required with, borders, ribbons, sentiments etc
Now complete the front of the card.
I cut the circle mats from the square design, then folded
over top.
I stuck this to the bottom corner to form a pocket, so make
sure you only put glue near the curved edges.
Mat the tag and any sentiments that you want to use onto
Coordinations card.
Trim around them with decorative scissors. Position as
required.
Decorate the tag with ribbon and lace, I added stickles glitter to the tag and large topper.
Trim
with embellishments. Your card is now complete.
I hope you enjoy making this card, it's one of my favourite designs.
The gallery below shows other versions I have made using this design.
