This is a fun card to make. When you pul the ribbon, the flaps fall open to reveal the stamped images in each section. Once it's completely open, you can stamp an additional sentiment on the remaining blank area. To get a printable PDF of the FREE tutorial click here.

  1. Cut Poppy Parade card base: 4-1/4 x 5-1/2
  2. Cut Old Olive layer 4-1/8 x 5-3/8
  3. DSP layer 4 x 5-1/4. After adhering DSP to the Old Olive layer, use 1-1/4 Circle Punch to create a half circle slot at the bottom center. Do not adhere to the card base yet.
  4. Cut Old Olive waterfall base 2 x 9: score at 2, 2-3/4, 3-1/2, 4-1/4
  5. Cut a strip of Poppy Parade 1 x 1-1/4 and attach only at the edges to the card front about three quarters of the way down.
  6. Cut four 1-3/4 x 1-3/4 Whisper White
  7. Cut four 1-7/8 x 1-7/8 Old Olive
  8. Stamp images on each of the four Whisper White squares, then mount to Old Olive squares
  9. With larger section of the Poppy Parade strip at the top, prepare to adhere stamped squares.
  10. Place adhesive along the top edge of each stamped square, add squares from bottom to top along score lines. Begin with the square with sentiment, line it up with the first score line at the bottom. Continue working your way up with the other three squares.
  11. Punch the long end of the strip with the Scalloped Tag Topper punch.
  12. Dry fit where this scored strip of images will go by folding the strip with the stamped squares so that the long piece is at the back and the four panels are layered on top. Slide the long piece behind the Poppy Parade strip that is adhered to the DSP layer. Center it and place the bottom so that the hole will show at the bottom where the 1/2 circle was punched. Remove the scored strip of images.
  13. Place a piece of 2 inch long Tear & Tape on the bottom center of the Poppy Parade strip that you attached to the card base.
  14. Fold the strip with the stamped squares again and slide the long piece behind the Poppy Parade strip with the Tear & Tape.
  15. Once through, center and adhere to the front side of the Poppy Parade strip.
  16. Use a 1/16 inch inch hole punch, to punch a hole on each side of the scored stamped strip. Attach brads to those holes.
  17. Adhere this layer to the card base.
  18. Tie ribbon in the hole at the end and pull... voila!
