You will need plain cardstock, and pretty cardstock, a piece of ribbon about six inches long, a photo, scissors, a pencil, a ruler (if you like straight lines), and glue.
Fancy.
A paper cut? Already?
Amateur.
When you fold your papers, make sure the top part of the card
(which is on the bottom in this picture, sorry about that)
has more of the pretty paper than the bottom.
In other words, fold the plain paper in half, and fold the pretty
paper so that the top part is bigger than the bottom part.
Got that?
Here is where we make magic. Or something.
Make two cuts, about 3/4 inch long, perpendicular to the fold of the pretty paper.
If you are like me, you'll enjoy using a ruler so it's all very neat and orderly.
This poor woman has been trapped in her house with
three awfully crabby children for nearly two weeks.
Send help.
Sometimes help looks like coffee or truffles.
I'm just saying.
Back to that help request.
Some people can follow directions, and
brought pictures to MOPS this week.
Not me.
That's why you're admiring other people's cards right about now.
And that, my friends, is how to make a fancy pop-up card.
