Walk in the Wild - Masculine

11/02/2016 Update: Top Three in AHSC #183

Using challenges for inspiration, I made this a masculine card for one of my brothers. One of the challenges required a kinetic card and the sketch could easily have been adapted for a spinner card but I chose to use a fun fold design called a Pivot Pop Up Card. There are plenty of You Tube videos, but I found these to be most helpful. One of them is made using the Cricut, the other is made by hand. Click HERE for free Cricut files.

For the card front, a panel of cardstock was adhered to the card base. Another panel was die cut with stitching, stamped, backed with foam and popped up on the card front. The pivot pop-up mechanism was a little tricky making it for the first time. The first three panels that pop up are stamped with outdoor images. The fourth panel is stamped with a simple sentiment to permit room for a signature. The card is bulky and will probably require extra postage and perhaps a larger envelope than the usual A2 size.
