Multi-Panel Pop Up Sewing Birthday Card Tutorial

I watch a video from MixedUpCraft on how to create a multi-panel popup card and used her measurements to create mine.  She created a thorough U-Tube video on how to score and assemble the panels onto the card and I created my U-Tube video using The Rubber Buggy products of Stamperia Romantic Threads for the instructions in this card. 

Supplies:

Tools:  Misti My Petunia Stamp Tool, Scor-Pal Score Board or Tonic Studio Score and Cutting Board

Adhesive:  Beacon 3-n-1 Advance Glue, Scor-Tape, Hot Glue Gun

Papers:  Stamperia Romantic Threads, My Color Ballerina Pink and Maja Designs Sweet Coral 

Chipboard:  Stamperia Romantic Threads Chipboard

Additional Supplies:  Coral Rose Handmade bow, 5mm pearl string, coral thread, 28 Lilac Lane Desert coral colored buttons, Venice lace, Wild Orchid Craft flowers, sewing pins and beads, Type the sentiment and cut with banner die similar of Lawn Fawn Banner die. Sponge on Ranger Distress Vintage Photo  ink on side of banner. Rick Rack ribbon.

I created a written tutorial as well as a short video to show an easy way to assemble the panels to follow since I won't be able to do a lengthy video due to our limited internet service in our area.  I created a guide using the colored letters in each box below to match the panels with cutting and score measurements for you to follow.   If the U-Tube doesn't display, click HERE.    

Tip #1:  Use the scoring tool to score and fold the paper. After scoring,  I like using the straight side of the score bone tool or edge of a ruler by dragging the long edge of the bone or ruler slowly down the fold of the paper for a crisps professional folded look. 

Tip #2:  Decorating each panel:  All panels are decorated with the pattern paper with 1/4" less of the measurement of the front of the panel.  Just measure the side or top of the panel and subtract 1/4".

Example for Panel B: 6" x 5" with measurements of 5 3/4" x 4 3/4" of decorative or solid cardstock centered on each panel. 

Tip #3:  I created the U-Tube for visually showing assembling each panel since it is difficult to create well written instructions on this.  When assembling the panels like for Panel B, glue both edges and fold down to the center score line of the card.  Fold the card and press.  When you open the card, the panel will open up to the 3D.  Do this for the other panel. Otherwise see my short U-Tube for visual instructions will explain this in more detail.

So get crafting and have a fabulous  day and thanks for visiting.
