Twist and Pop Card Tutorial using Stamperia
Hi it's Bev today. I am sharing a Twist and Pop Card Tutorial... (from my friend Narelle). The main card is made using Stamperia Blue Land Collection. So many amazing prints and textures to mix and match on all the pieces of this card.....
and inside has a great flip out panel which I used the tag like pieces to decorate with
- Paper: Stamperia Blue Land
- Glue: Beacon 3-in-1 Glue,
- Accents: Scrapbook 3D foam
- Ink: Tim Holtz ranger Vintage Photo
- Other: cardstock, beads
For those of you that want to make one.. here are some instructions to help you.
From the front, this looks like a normal cute card. But it's when you open it, you are in for a pleasant surprise
Instructions (from Narelle)
- Start with a piece of card stock that measures 10.5cm (4 ⅛”) x 29.9cm (11 ¾”.). Fold this in half, this is now your card base.
- Take another piece of card stock and cut it to 20cm (7 ⅞” ) x 9cm (3 ½”). This I will refer to as your folding mechanism piece.
- Cut another piece of card stock to measure 26cm(10 ¼” ) x 9cm(3 ½”) . This I will refer to as your panel piece.
- Cut a piece of patterned paper for the card front which measures 10cm (4") x 14.5cm (5 ¾”). Glue this to the front of your card.
- Cut two more pieces of patterned paper to the same size as above. Glue these to the inside of the card.
- Note that I have used different patterned paper for the front to the inside pieces.
- Take your folding mechanism piece and lay it flat in front of you. Using a pencil, mark at 4.5cm (1 ¾”) on each of the short sides, and 5.5cm(2 ⅛”) in from each end on the long sides. Draw lines to join these marks up and you will end up with this.
- Score along the pencil lines then fold and burnish each fold.
- Rub out the pencil lines.
- Grab the ends and push in and down so the piece folds and ends up looking like a tent. See the pictures below as a guide.
- Use a bone folder to burnish all folds. This will help the card lay flat when completed.
- Take the card base and inside, make a mark at the half way mark which is 5.25cm. (2 1/16”)
- Take the folding mechanism piece and place it in the card so that the point is at that mark.
- Holding it firmly in place... Apply glue to the top triangle piece only and then close the card. Hold in place until the glue dries. Then turn over and do the same thing to the other side.
- You will end up with the inside of the card looking like this.
- Take the panel piece and make a pencil mark along the lines sides at 6.5cm (2 ½”), 13cm (5⅛”) and 19.5cm(7 11/16”.)
- Fold into a concertina and burnish all folds.
- Decorate the inside panel.
- On the folding mechanism that is now glued into your card, make a pencil mark at the half way point which is 10cm (4").
- Place the panel piece on top so that the middle fold is on the half way mark.
- Hold it in place and fold the two end panels back in.
- Put glue at the top right and bottom left ONLY. Then fold the two end panels back out and hold in place until the glue is dry.
- Now close your card. You may need to help it close a few times. Then it should be able to close without needing any help.
- Decorate the front as you wish and your Twist and Pop card is complete.

Hope to see you again soon
