Digi Choosday - Hope your Day is Buzzing - With Wraparound - Twist & Pop Card - Honey Bee Dreams - with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday... I hope that you're having a great week so far......I cant quite believe it's the end of May already...its definitely true when they say that time flies!

It's that time of the week to share some more inspiration for our current 'Anything Goes' challenge over on the Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Blog so I hope you are going to join in and don't forget the amazing Digi Choosday discount off all crafty printable downloads!

Don't Forget that our challenges our now 4 weekly so there's loads of time for you to join in and more chances to win too!

The theme set for the DT this week is to make a project with a wraparound.

I decided I would make a new card style - well new to me at least....LOL  This interactive card has been around for ages but I've never made one before so I thought I would give it a go.  It's an A6 sized Twist and Pop Card and I was surprised how well it came together.  I have learnt a few things as well whilst making it so have a few tips to make it.

I chose to use the Honey Bee Dreams and Busy Bee Gnomes collections for my card today using papers, a sentiment and ephemera to all coordinate.

The actual card itself was constructed using a yellow card and is made from 3 main pieces.

One thing I will do next time I make this style is convert it into inches as my scoreboard is imperial and it was tricky to get the score lines in the right places.

The card base measured 10cm x 30cm scored at 15cm.

The inner panel measured 9cm x 26cm scored at 6.5, 13 and 19.5cm

The mechanism measured 9cm x 20cm.  On the 9cm side scored at 4.5cm t create a centre fold. Then on the long edge mark each end at 5.5cm.

Score a cross diagonally between these marks then fold and burnish the folds.

If you want some better instructions and to see how the card is assembled I would suggest watching this video on YouTube 

I used some pretty floral papers and a sentiment from the Buzzy Bee Gnomes collection and the ephemera on the panels inside are from the Honey Bee Dreams collection

Next time I make this card I will also avoid the edging trim on the panels of the card as this catches slightly on the mechanism as the card is closed but it's good to learn !

 

I hope that you like my project today and you'll enjoy the next that I share from Polkadoodles.

Hasta luego 👋


Enjoy the rest of your day !
