A 21st Surprise.....

G'day, Hope you are having a great Friday.  The days are going by very fast again.  At the moment, I am working on a scrapbook, for my nephew, with Mum .  We have been busy sorting through photos, and I've been sketching out some layouts.  I will be taking photo's and posting about it all once he has received it.

For today's post, I have the card I made for our neice's 21st Birthday.  It is another idea from Splitcoast, called a Free Standing Pop-Up Card.  If you click on the link it will take you to the tutorial, a photo one and a video one!

Here it is all folded flat.

This photo shows the card standing up.  The centre pulls up and the outside forms the base.

Here is a side view to show you how it stands on it's own.

As usual, I added extra.  I just can't help myself.  We gave our neice a gift card, and so I added a flap and closure on the back.  This shows it closed.

In the above photo the flap and closure are open, and we can see the gift card holder.  It was a great little surprise!

This style of card is quite easy to make.  I found by adding the extra on the back of the main panel, it also added weight.  This extra weight had me fiddling around abit.  The top wanted to fall over, but, I was able to add some little tabs that tucked into the base.  Ta, Da, Free Standing Pop-Up Card. 

I hope you have enjoyed my card and ramblings today.  Pop over to Splitcoast, they have some great inspiration over there.  If you find something you would like to share with me just leave a comment so I can check it out. 

Thanks for popping by and happy creating.

Cheers, Deb

P.S.  I have a surprise brewing, so stay tuned and check back again soon!  Ta-Ta for now!
