let's twist again ...

 ... like we did last fancy fold. Did I mention just about everything makes me think of a song? I like having a constant soundtrack playing in my head.

But let's talk the double twist pop up card.  I got this card idea from the amazing Tamara Bertram.  Here is the video I made of the how the card goes to together:


And the measurements for all the cutting and scoring. Start with a 7" x 7" piece of cardstock two 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" squares (these all come out of one sheet of cardstock:


The finished product will fold flat and be 7" x 3 1/2" so will require a homemade DSP envelope or can fit in the SU slimline envelopes.

Then you need layers:       

        colored cardstock                    2 - 3" x 3"   and 1 - 6 1/4" x 2 3/4"

        designer series paper              2 -  2 3/4" x 2 3/4"   and 1 - 6" x 2 1/2"


And finally, decorate as you wish. Just make sure that there is a popped up element that hold each folded panel in place when the card is open.  Use can you cardstock with dimensionals, die cuts on foam sheets, or embellishments.

These are big impact cards that come together pretty quick.  I would love to see the cards you make using this design.

Happy crafting.

I think it's called a double step card.

So here's the thing, I did try to google and find out what this fun fold was called. Do you know what happens when a crafter googles car...
