Pop Up Cross card- using Impressions Abloom Bundle SNEAK PEEK!


Check out this gorgeous cross card!
This is a totally Susie card.
Look at the daisy flower & words.....as they are a sneak peek of 
an upcoming Online Bundle that I bought when
I attended the After hours Onstage Class earlier this month.
 
Impressions Abloom Bundle= $48.50
It will be available to purchase on 5/6/25!
You will want to add this bundle to your wish list.
Look how the cross pops up on my card.
WOW HUH!
 
I did fussy cut out around the words using Paper Snips Scissors.
These are all included in this bundle-
the words, oval, flower & leaves.
Here is the pattern that I made up so that the cross pattern would
fit all the way across the front of a normal folded card that is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2".
With my pattern, the cross will also lay flat & fit perfectly into an envelope.
And  I won't tell you how many different measurements I made until 
I came up with this perfect one! 

All other patterns that I found ended up with a 3 1/2 x 5 1/2" card base
& I didn't want mine to be that narrow.
So here is the pattern/measurements I made up-
Basic White card stock-
5 x 5 1/4"- score at 1 3/8", 1 7/8", 3 1/8" & 3 5/8"
Wow- see how my cross card lays perfectly flat for fitting into an envelope!
I hope you love my fun fold cross card as much as I do & 
you have fun making one too!
