SNAILED IT POP & TWIST CARD

This is a fun card to give. I have always liked the look of these cards I just struggled to make them the same every time. So, I decided that it was time I figured out this card and I am glad I did. There were score lines where they really didn't need to be and I didn't like them. They were so obvious to me and there really wasn't any way to cover them. So even if you have done this fun fold card before, try my new instructions. Let me know if you have any problems. I have a video below to show you just how I did this.

Score from the 3/4" marks through the center to the mark on the opposite side, fold to look like a house

Assembly

Fold folding Mechanism into house like shape and adhere to the inside of the card leaving an edge all the way around. Fold into the house shape and put glue on one side. Be sure the tip is close to the fold line but allows the card to fold. Place it on one side of the 4 1/4 x 11 card base. Put glue on the other side that is now facing you and close the card front down onto it. Let it dry.

Put glue on the left side on the BOTTOM portion of the folding mechanism.

Line up the first section of panel on the left with the score line on the folding mechanism, center top to bottom. Glue there.

Line up the last section of the panel, on the right, with the score line on the folding mechanism, center top to bottom.

Put glue on the TOP portion of the folding mechanism and glue there.

Test! it may be a little stiff at first but the more it is opened and closed the better it works
