DAD Stacked Letters Pop Card

Four “slices” are reconfigured to align directly 
in a column to allow bottom tabs to fit 
into sturdy base with slots. 
Front slice is decorated with “D” “A” & “D” 
plus leafy stems, shaded oval berries to celebrate 
Father’s Day, birthday, or other commemorative 
or festive occasions. 
Folded flat, card assembly can fit into 5x7 envelope 
for neatly packaged giving. 
Coordinated “Env Leaf Berry” envelope 
design is also available.

ASSEMBLY: 1. Identify and cut the shapes:
A front "offset" panel   B letters overlays for "D A D"
C front pop up panel (with attachment tabs at bottom)
D center pop up panels (2) with flat bottom edges
E back pop up panel (with bottom positioning nib)
F back offset panel overlay
G "bridge" strips which connect slice panels (4)
H base panel with nib slots   I reversed base bottom panel
J base overlay with slots for attaching front pop up panel
K opt. sentiment panel to place on base bottom
L & M berry base with overlay (3 sets of each style)
N sprigs large and single

NOTE that assembly of this card is very similar
to the "MOM Stacked Letters Pop Card". Most of
the steps can be followed from that tutorial by
following this LINK.

2. Go to the "MOM" card post to complete Step 2, then
refer to the following illustrations and photos as substitutes
for Steps 3-6. Complete Step 7 as shown for "MOM" card.

3. Position the tall sprig at left bottom and side where 
offset front panel overlay indicates tip and first leaf 
will fit, and attach the 2 leaves and below ONLY.
4. Position and attach the lower 'D'.
5. Prepare to attach the 'A' by threading
the vine up through the "hole" of the 'A' . . .
. . . and sliding the letter down into it's
final position, and attach 'A' there.
Before gluing the vine down the stem end
of the two smaller vine branches will need to be
tucked under the vine, so leave it free for a bit.
6. Position the top 'D' in place, taking care
that the vine leaves overlap the letter
as shown, then attach remaining shapes
in place.
Finally, tuck the upper short vine stem under
the 'A' upper body, with upper leaves overlapping
the top 'D'. Then position . . .
. . . the lower short stem overlapping the bottom of 'A'.
Tuck the ends of both these shorter vine stems
under the original main vine and glue all remaining.
Refer to Step 7 of "MOM" card to assemble and position
the berries (DAD card has more berries).
Here is how the "DAD" card front panel should appear.

Return to the "MOM" card version by following the LINK
to complete the remaining steps through
Step 19 to complete the card assembly.
