Pop out panel card
Add the wow factor to your next birthday card creation with this double pop out panel card.
It looks complicated, but with the cutting pattern from the Gentleman Crafter (download for free below), and the precise cutting skills of your ScanNCut, it couldn’t be easier!
Size
Finished card set measures approximately 80mm wide x 105mm high.
Materials needed
Paper/card
- 2 sheets of 12 x 12” black cardstock. I recommend smooth colour-core cardstock between 180gsm/65lb and 210gsm/80lb. Using thicker card may make the project difficult or impossible to assemble effectively.
- 2 sheets of 12 x 12” double-sided patterned paper. I recommend a lightweight scrapbook paper for the decorative panels of this project.
You will also need
- Bookbinding glue or low tack/quick grab glue
- For scoring the fold lines, I recommend a fine tipped stylus and a metal ruler
- Assorted embellishments (optional)
Please note: the instructions below are for the basic double pop out card. You can freely embellish to your liking by adding elements such as text, 3D decals, cut outs, foiling etc. The ScanNCut has a wide range of built-in designs, fonts and applications for this purpose. Additionally, you can find thousands of extra cutting files on the Brother Artspira design app. Have fun!
