Pull up fun fold graduation card

Wow.....check out this fun fold pull-up card.

 

We had lots of graduation invitations this year.

Here are some of the cards I made this weekend.

I used the Fabulous Frames Dies. 

(and a retired stamp for the graduation cap)

 

How did I do it?

  4 1/4 x 11" card stock-

score at 2 1/4 & 7 3/4"

Add Tear & Tape along the outside edges.

The inside pop up is-

THICK Basic White- 3 x 7"- score at 3/4" & 5"

 Add 2 strips of Tear & Tape along the top edge.

 Remove the Tear & Tape.

Center the THICK Basic White CS piece as shown.

Make sure that the edge of it is right at the scored/fold line.

Now SHUT the top part of the card front.

(over the Tear & Tape)

Now tuck the bottom of this THICK Basic White CS

down into the pocket.

You can now add cash, gift card, check, etc. to the pocket.

I stamped words on the top inside piece.

And then added some stars. 

Here are some other colors too......as I tried to make

them their school colors.

Here are the supplies & measurements.
