Pop Up Book card for World Book Day

 Hello!

In my nightly Live, I created, for the first time this sweet little surprise inside card!
The scoring and cutting to create this little pop up are surprisingly simple, I had great success the first time and under the camera! I used a fabulous sketch by New Zealand demo, Patrice Halliday-Larsen.

The scoring and cutting image was wonderful, I scored the first two lines 1 inch from both the edges and between 1" and 4 1/2", then cut between those lines then put in the rest of the scores and it seemed to have all the easy markers for lining up.

(the adhesive tape goes along the highlighted areas, after you finagle the folds along the score lines)

The dimensions for decorating the little book include two small strips used along the half inch strip to act as a nice accent to the 'book page' edges.

Cutting Instructions
