This is the card I created for my blogging friend Joy, to send along with a few peeking puppy die cuts she requested. It was the perfect chance to try out a neat pleated pop up I had seen over at one of my favorite blogs, Extreme Cards And Paper Crafts. For the front of the card, I used several different flower cuts from the Walk In My Garden Cartridge and a Quickutz doggie die...see his tail poking out from behind the flowers?
Here's what the card looks like when you open it. It's a little difficult to see from this angle, but the peeking pup and flower stems are glued into different valley folds of the pleats at the center of the card to create different layers of dimension.
Here's a back view with the pleats more readily visible...
Pretty much an easy card to do. You can find a link to a video tutorial for this type of card, plus a detailed photo tutorial (with some very helpful hints and improvements to the construction of this card) over at Extreme Cards and Papercrafting. (Thanks, Carol...you're amazing!) BTW, if you haven't been to visit her blog yet, you are missing out! This lady creates and shares the most incredible paper crafts... if only I didn't have to eat or sleep...I would try them all!
