INSTRUCTIONS FOR HEART POP UP + INSIDE OF THE CARD
- Cut both A4 size metallic paper such that you get four 4-1/4" squares from each (total 8 squares)
- Begin by folding each square in half one direction
- Continue folding in half in the other direction
- You should have a folded square measuring 2-1/8"
- Place the given heart template over your square
- Align the bottom of the heart with the central corner of the folded square and cut your shape
- Unfold your paper and it should look like a four leaved clover
- Bring the bottom right corner over the bottom left while keeping your index finger on the centre
- Bring down middle left to the bottom middle point creating a triangle that is tucked in
- Using your scoring tool firmly go over the folded edges to get neat creases
- Open your sheet and cut down half way on your top middle fold
- Leaving the heart next to the cut glue 3 scalloped hearts on the other 3 hearts
- Next flip it over and glue 3 scalloped hearts on the back side
- Now glue your top left heart onto your top right heart
- You have created your first pop up fold
- Repeat steps 2 to 15 to make 7 more of these
- Take 4 of the folded squares and glue 3 of them together and keep the top and bottom flap unglued
- Make sure the folded in heart is always on the bottom and aligned
- Repeat step 17th and 18th for rest of the 4 squares
- Take the card and fold it at the scored line
- Aligning both folded hearts glue the bottom to the bottom inside of the card
- Next glue the top of both folded hearts to the top inside of the card
- Now glue "Mother's Day" to the inside of the card as desired
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CARD FRONT
- Glue the pre-cut metallic card front to the top of the card
- Adhere the word "Happy" as desired
- Glue the sequences to the card front as desired
