Flower Basket Twist & Pop card

     Hello and welcome! Today I re-created the fun-fold card I made for my OnStage display board and swaps. This card looks deceivingly complicated, but it's pretty easy to make...and fun too! The step-by-step tutorial video is at the end of this post. Let's get started.

You will need:

• a piece of vellum (10" x 3")
• Basket panel: Whisper White cardstock (10" x 2"), run it through your Big Shot with the Basket Weave embossing folder. (I'm so happy this embossing folder carried over to the new catalogue!) Sponge this piece using Early Espresso and Black inks.
• Mechanism piece: Whisper White cardstock (7" x 2 3/4"). Score following the diagram below.

• Flowers using the Four Petal Punch and Garden Impressions DSP. Leaves for the flowers are created using the same punch and shades of green cardstock, then cut in half. Center of flower from Jar of Love stamped in black, then sequins added in the middle. I used 10 flowers for the inside of the card and one for the card front.
• Cut out bees from Dragonfly Dreams, covered in Wink of Stella. I used two for the inside and one for the card front. 
• Powder Pink and Daffodil Delight ink pads for creating the front background using the dots from Dragonfly Dreams stamp set. Sentiment is also from this set.
• Gold ribbon to wrap around another basket weave panel for the card front.

Here's the tutorial video on how to make this fun card:
