INTERACTIVE SLIMLINE CARDS

LEVELED UP BY: Melissa Taylor (Merritt)

“It is always fun to level up a favorite project. It’s a good way to try something new or add something extra special. It’s time for me to share my #ClubG45LeveledUp project with you. I used Vol. 2 – 2021 Interactive Slimline Card Set designed by the wonderful Ginger Ropp as a starting point. I leveled this card set up by making it a pop-up card with a special sentiment on the inside using Graphic 45’s sentiment die set. I have added directions below on how to make these slimline cards into pop-up cards.

Here is the material list:

Graphic 45 Supply List:

8 x 8” Graphic 45 Bird Watcher

G45 Bird Watcher Chipboard

G45 Bird Watcher Stickers

G45 Metal Charm Clips

Other Supplies:

Kraft cardstock

Vintage Photo Distress Oxide

Scallop edge punch

DIRECTIONS

Start with the Card Base 8¼ x 7” and score 3½” on the 7” side. Set aside.

The insert is 8 x 3½”, draw a line at 1¾” on the 3½” side.

Draw a line at 3½ and 4½” on the 8” side.

On the 3½ and 4½” lines, draw lines across at ¾” down and 2¼” down.

Cut from the ¾” line down to the 2¼” line on both the 3½ and 4½” parallel lines.

Score at 1¾” on the 3½” side. Then score from 3½ to 4½” lines at ¾”, 1¼” and 2¼”

Fold in half and have the inside pop-up fold inwards.

For the inside pop-up pieces, I have a kraft piece 4¼ x 2½”. Out of pattern paper, I have 4 x 2¼” and (2) 8 x 1” strips. I cut the “Happy Birthday” from kraft and it is from a Graphic 45 Sentiment die.
