Card Hearts Corner Pop A6

 

Strategically fold the perforated card base to push 
the top left corner down and inward, so that when 

the card is opened by recipient, the triangle pointing inside 

“springs” up to display another scalloped heart accent. 

Print & Cut hearts on front (“Happy Valentine’s Day” 

and inside (“From My Heart to Yours”) add a custom touch. 

Blank heart panels provide alternative to hold 

your own stamps or messages, etc, to convert 

the Valentine’s Day card into a friendship, birthday, 

Mother’s Day or other occasion card. 

Add mix and match coordinated print 

offset panels on front and inside. 

Card measures approx. 4.63” tall x 6.25” wide 

when top-fold closed. 

ASSEMBLY: 1. Identify and cut the shapes:

A card base with fold perforation lines

B front panel offset overlay

C front doily heart assembly including print & cut heart

and contrast heart

D front pair of heart and scallop base accents

E interior heart assembly with print & cut heart

with doily heart base and contrast heart

F interior main panel offset accent and corner

G sentiment panel

H interior upper panel offset accents

2. Prepare and assemble the heart accents by

centering and layering, attaching in place so that . . .

. . . they look like this. Front hearts ensemble

on left, interior heart assembly on right.

3. Prepare the card base by bending back along

the horizontal centerline, then . . .

. . . bend back on each of the diagonal lines

on front and back halves of card base. Next . . .

. . . redirect the center fold to be a "valley" fold as

it is pushed downward and inward as the diagonal 

folds take their final positions. Finally . . .

. . . bring the diagonal folds together and press along

all the folds to crease firmly.

NOTE: if the card base card stock paper is NOT

solid core, it may be advisable to color with distress

ink to cover the white core at perforations.

4. Position and attach the front panel accent overlay

over the front base within the fold lines with narrow

offset margin all around.

5. On the card inside, position and attach the main

and corner accent panels in the same manner with

narrow offset margin all around.

6. Repeat the process of step 5 for the upper interior

spaces with corresponding accent overlays.

7. Position and attach the oval sentiment panel

on the interior main accent panel.

8. Position the pair of hearts along the diagonal fold

of closed card so that they are evenly spaced,

making sure that they do not extend beyond

the upper fold edge . . .

. . . as shown by this plexiglass straight edge, 

as well as . . .

. . . the left edge. Once best positioning is achieved,

glue in place where heart lower portion overlaps.

9. Position the larger accent heart centered over

the edge and the pair of hearts, and glue in place

here it overlaps other shapes or card base.

10. On the card inside, position the heart assembly

over the fold-in corner panel, with point above

the diagonal fold, and left edge within the card edge.

Make sure that the pop-up corner will close when

heart is in place. After best positioning is achieved, 

glue lower portion only in place where it overlaps 

the fold-in corner.

Here is the completed card front . . .

. . . and as it un-folds.
