CHEERS AND SIPS POP OUT FUN

Yesterday on Learning with Friends I promised to share the Surprise Pop Out Fun Fold on today's post so that those who watched the video would have easy access to a written tutorial for this Cheers & Sips card.

Today's post will have more photos than I usually include because with Fun Fold cards pictures are often the easiest way to explain a Fun Fold.  The above photo shows the card ready for putting in an envelope and mailing.

Here is a closer view of the Belly Band that is holding the card closed.

The Belly Band sentiment panels were made with the awesome Textured Notes Dies.  Each of these layering rectangles all have unique borders that are "imprinted" around the border when the die cut is made.  I made a cute little die cut drink umbrella and a stamped lemon to decorate my belly band's "Cheers" greeting.

When you slide the Belly Band off the card and open the two gate folds towards the rear of the card, the surprise on the inside pops out to greet you.

Looking at the card from the top the card forms a "W" shape when it is open and on display.

I used Silver Embossing Powder on Vellum cardstock to make my ice filled glass of Raspberry Lemonade.

The vellum looks more realistic as a glass because you can see through it.  With the Vellum as the "glass", when you put any garnishes in your drink you can still see through the vellum and see those garnishes inside the glass.

I colored my Raspberry Lemonade with a Blackberry Bliss Stampin' Blend.  Because coloring with Stampin' Blends on Vellum tends to make streaks, I spritzed the colored surface VERY lightly with Isopropyl Alcohol.  I then used a small paint brush to move the ink around and make it look more like liquid.

Since there is really no place to write anything on the card front or on the "inside" pop out panel, I added panels on the back of the card to have a place for my hand written note.

If you didn't see yesterday's Learning with Friends video that shows you how to make this fun fold, you can watch the replay on YouTube.

For those that already watched the videos and are looking for a Tutorial PDF with all the dimensions to make the fun fold, you can use this link to download a copy of the tutorial for today's card.  The dimensions for the Fun Fold Base Card are the same for all the cards I shared during the video.  The dimensions and directions for decorative pieces may different, but the base fun fold instructions and diagrams are all the same.

A list of the current products I used for today's card are shown below.  Click on any image to learn more about that product or to make a purchase.   The Celebratory Sips Suite of Products are a new Online Exclusive that become available May 6, 2025, so are not in the Product List below as they are not yet available for purchase.  For future reference I have listed the item numbers for the suite and below it for all items included in the suite.  Items can be orders separately or keep it simple and just order them all with the Suite Item number.  You do save 10% when ordering the stamp set and dies as a bundle rather than individually.
