A Pop-Up Zoyfold Birthday Card

This card was made for Craft Roulette #249 whose parameters included a zoyfold card, elegant colors, front door and three circles. (This is my second zoyfold card. Click here to see my first.)

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Details and supplies used are below.

Cardbase: The cardbase is really a blend of two cardbases together. The larger card is a 5×7-inch landscape/horizontal z-fold card with an almost square 4 1/2x 5 1/2-inch card for a joyfold card Hence the newly coined card fold – the zoyfold (The term was coined by Mary Gunn Funn and Irene “Hattrick” Smith on the Craft Roulette Members Show #244.) Watch the process video for assembly instructions. The back of the card is covered with striped paper and a scalloped rectangle from the Karen Burniston’s Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch die set.

Gingerbread House: (Watch the assembly videos for the Tiny House Pop-Up and Gingerbread Tiny House Add-ons at the bottom of each of the linked pages.) I used Nuvo Jewel Drops, Nellie’s Choice Snow Effects and adhesive backed peppermint candies to decorate the gingerbread house before attaching the house to the card with hot glue.

Sentiments: All sentiments are by Karen Burniston. ”You’re Sweet!” and “Happy Birthday” die cuts. The envelope sentiment is from the Sweet Treats stamp set.

Envelope: The card fits into an A7 (5x 7-inch) size envelope.
