I'm kinda past Fall cards and into Halloween but I did want to participate in the BBTB2 Autumn challenge this week so I checked my Pinterest Techniques board and rediscovered the Twist and Pop card.
I followed the tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers and was just so intrigued with the mechanism. Cool! The leaves are from CTMH Artiste and the font I used for the word 'Fall' is Liberty Regular. The sweet little sentiment stamp comes from Sunny Studio.
Because I can't just follow directions and be done, I tried and tried and tried to figure out how to make the card open horizontally, rather than vertically. It was a fail, but DH is convinced he can make a mechanism that will do this so stay tuned! (However, if you know of a link to someone who has already figured this out, let me know and I'll present him with a fait accompli! LOL) Thanks for visiting with me today. : ) Christine
I am fascinated by the twist and pop cards too and plan to make several for Halloween! I will be keeping an eye out for your horizontal mechanism! Thanks for sharing your cute card at Bitten by the Bug 2!
ReplyDeleteI think the closest you'll get to doing this style of card horizontally is a "floating tabletop" card. You can find the tutorial for this here: http://www.extremepapercrafting.com/2009/04/pop-up-card-tutorial-lesson-23.html
