Let's Do the Twist WF18Twist
I've been seeing some cool twisted pop-up cards lately so I thought we'd give it a try.
Dina Kowal has a tutorial (https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/twistedpopupcard/) with a video on Splitcoaststampers. It doesn't look too hard. :o
Note : There are now dies available to make this style card. If you have one, by all means use it!
1. You must make a twisted pop-up card similar to the one in the tutorial.
2. Your card must have an image stamp or background stamp or both.
3. Please use WF18Twist in the title of your gallery post and as a "key word" when you post to the Winterfest 2018 gallery.
4. Combining with another challenge is allowed.
Have fun!
I will draw a name from the pool of participants for a small RAK.
Here are the links to my sample.

And a close up of the gelly roll stardust pen on 1 of the dresses.
Here is a link to a brush (https://cdn.dick-blick.com/items/249/22/24922-group-3ww-l.jpg) similar to the one I used to get soft inking around the dresses. I bought some of mine from Just For Fun, and maybe a LSS. I couldn't find a pic on JFF's web page, so this one is from Dick Blick. Tim Holtz recently used brushes in a Creativation 2018 video, which reminded me, I have brushes!

Oh yea I always love folded cards. Thanks Cindi for hosting!
-
Card folds! These are the things I never do unless they are part of a challenge. Lol. Thanks for challenging me, Cindi!

Can't wait to try this!
April :smile:

Here is my entry. I have made a couple of these before, but it has been awhile. Thanks for the reminder. I loved making this again!

I’m glad you had fun, April! Someone is going to be thrilled with their birthday card!
-
Looks like a fun fold to try!
-
Well this all went well except doing the inside I could have come down a little more for my insert but the glue dried to quickly before I realized it.
Here is my outside:

I can see doing another one of these in the future :)

That is such a pretty card Connie! I really like the scene you created on the inside, framed by the photo corners. Love your choice of printed papers too. I’m glad you liked it enough to maybe try it again.

I am intimidated, but I am going to work on this next!

Cindi thanks for this challenge. I was really pleased with the final result...the twist is so fun #>

Wow, that was tricky! I did cut my mechanism wrong first and had to redo it. Also, my pop up opens a lot easier than it closes? Anyone know why that might be? You sortof have to push the book shut to get it to close instead of just closing the card...

Thanks for the challenge!

Most excellent cards Jan and Heidi! They are so cool. Imagine getting one of these in the mail?!
Heidi,
Dina Kowal mentioned scoring the folds on the pop-up mechanism both ways. Could that be it? Or, I saw that someone rounded the corners on the booklet piece to keep them from catching ...
I'm so proud of you for getting over the intimidation and giving it a try!
When I made mine, I followed Dina's still photos more than the video even. I also made two card bases, pop-up mechanisms and booklets, as long as I was measuring, cutting and folding. So I have a blank ready to decorate.

I did score both ways, but it could be rounding the corners would help a lot! I hope to be able to try another when I am not in such a hurry, and I will give that a try! Thanks!

Running out of time and done to dead line with this card. I had problems, cut it out four times, finally got one to work. Water colored front, but ran out of steam and time, so used die cut flowers on the inside.

Thanks for doing my challenge Sheila! I'm sorry it gave you a hard time. I don't blame you for using die cuts on the inside. What was I thinking, ha?! When I made my sample (after I issued the challenge) I realized how much work it was to decorate the inside! I do like the pop up though! Your card would be really nice for Mother's Day or a birthday.
-
Heidi, I made my inside fold out smaller than what was shown on the video. I had made this card before and went with those directions. Maybe it would close better if the inside fold was smaller (skinnier). Did anyone else have problems when closing their cards?
April :smile:
-
Hmmm, I'm sorry some of you had trouble with the mechanism. April, I'm glad you found something that worked. I guess I was lucky, mine worked!
I put all of your names in a bowl, held it over my head and drew a name.
Connie, you are the winner!

Congratulations Connie!
I think the card was designed to specially to hold the ATC's as mentioned with a very small border all around. I made my card exact with the measurements. This size makes the panel which holds the 4 art pieces slightly too large and it lightly rub at the 1st inside fold at the upper right corner and the last fold rubs at the is bottom of the lower left corner as I try to open and close the card. While it seems like a minor rub, each time I repeat the action the card it loosens the corners of where I used red liner tape is attached to the card base. I hope to try another card with a shorter panel and see if that corrects the issue and not worry about it not being specifically an ATC size.
Shelia, I agree the instructions do not adequately describe how to adequately fold and adhere the movement mechanism. One must do extra figuring out how to do that step on their own. So really glad you could finish! It sounds like you have great skills of adapting when you are in a time pinch!...great Mom and Grandma skills...and now card making too!

Congrats, Connie!!!!
I didn't get a chance to give this one a try. But it is definitely on my to do list now.
