Fun Fold Circle Pop-Up Card

I first saw this card on Cindee Wilkinson's blog and was intrigued -it did look a little hard, but after doing it, I realized what a FUN Fun fold card and it was SO easy!  But…..the first time I went to try it, the instructions were to punch out a 2" circle – my 2" circle punch wouldn't word!  Boo Hoo!  Hate that when I'm all set to do something and…..I can't!!  Makes me want to throw a hissy fit!

So….I called Stampin' Up and pled my case and they sent me a brand NEW punch.  Actually I had hardly used this one, but they do sometimes not work;  when you get a new punch be sure and check that it works – contact me right away and we'll get it taken care of……90 day guarantee……but if it's longer than that, we'll try anyway!!  Just a tip!!

Back to this fun and darling card

What a fun birthday card

And open

Awww – wouldn't this card be a BIG hit!!

You start with a piece of card stock cut 11" x 4 1/4"

Score at 4 1/4" and 8 1/2" 

Center your 2" punch on the 8 1/2" score line and punch

Stamp your sentiment and punch out using the 1 3/4" punch

Adhere it to the 2" punch out 

Fold up the bottom  and adhere the inside piece (designer series paper or white) and line up the 2" circle in the hole

Adhere it to the folded up piece – you might want to tuck it down just a tad bit, so it won't get caught when you are opening and shutting the card

Finish decorating and you have a fun new "fun fold" card

Oh and if you look at the sample again, do you see the Scallop Border?  Stampin' Up no longer sells the Scallop Border Punch, but I found a Scallop in the Cutie Pie Thinlits for the Big Shot!!  Whoo Hoo – love this!!
