Love it when a few simple ideas come together and produce something a bit different but so simple to make... and so a quick tutorial for you too...
So over the past 5 years I have seen many a card fold with a strip popping out on the inside and 4 panels on each part of the strip... even pinned a few along the way...
But this year is the year I remembered the concept... and just had to make one of my own...
So here you go...
And the pop out strip is so easy.... so I can't attribute to any tutorial out there as I didn't go and look! As I (usually) find it quicker that way... but for those of you that like the step by step details...
(1) Cut a narrow strip of card the same width as your card blank (mine is about 3/4" or 2 cm high)...
(2) Fold in half ...
(3) Fold each half in half again...
AKA for my A4L A6 card blank... Score LANDSCAPE at 7.4, 14.8 and 22.2cm
(4) Bone Fold as Valley, Mountain, Valley... so you get an M or W shape (depending on which way round you are holding it! But it ends up as a W in the card!)
(5) Stick right hand section to right hand side of card blank (right to the RH edge)
(6) Fold the strip up... apply glue to top section
(7) Fold left hand side of card blank down onto the glued section
And a final tip from me... I meant to stick my strip higher (about half way up my starry sky panel)... but I changed my mind at the last minute... and wish I hadn't... as you can't really see my lovely glittery snow banks! Which is a real shame!
But for those of you that like to see a bit more... just Google or You Tube one of the many names attributed to this card!!!
Such as "Pop Out Strip Card" (which I believe to be the original name back in 2014)... and for which the earliest sample I saw was by Pia Gerhardt in Germany and that can be found
here)
But also "Inside Banner Pop Out Card", "Inside Pop Out Card", Floating Pop Up Card", "W Fold Card", "M Fold Card", "Inside 4 Panel Card" or "4 Panel Pop Out card"

* I used the "From Our... to Yours"... stamp from the Itty Bitty Christmas set rather than the From Our House to Yours set as I had already used that one on another card... in another colourway... which was therefore at another class stamping station!! But I do also prefer the 2 lines of text instead of the one...
