I wanted to make this card easy for all of us, no rulers or pencil marks to erase later, only score marks to work with. I hope you enjoy making this one and I promise, once you make it once you will be hooked!
The measurements are:
Mechanism card stock 8 1/2 inch by 10 3/4 inch
scored at:
2 1/4, 4 1/4 and 6 1/4 on the short side
on the long side score at 3 7/8, 5 3/8 and 6 7/8.
The strip for the pop out panel measures 3 inches by 11 inches.
Scored at 2 3/4, 5 1/2 and 8 1/4 inches.
Mats for the pop out panel are 2 3/4 by 2 1/2 inches.
Inside mats for card base on the mechanism piece are 3 3/4 inches by 5 1/2 inches before trimmed into the angle at the top.
Lastly, you will need and A2 card base, 4 1/4 inches by 11 scored at 5 1/2.
Supplies used are linked in the video description.

I’ve made a similar card before, but your directions were so well presented and much simpler than others. You were born to be a teacher! I look forward to your other ideas!❤️

…and I MADE IT! You made this simple, even I can do it. This is one card that will be made often :-) It is bookmarked, as well as downloaded via RealPlayer to flash drive to share when friends have get togethers to paper craft. Then we can all follow step by step, even where there’s no internet!
Thanks so very much, you are a splendid teacher!

Hi MayMay I am really enjoyed your twist pop up card video. I am making it step by step. I am trying to get my crafting legs back I lost my mom in June of this year. Just listening to your calm instructional voice is getting my back into things. I want to get the jump on holiday projects.
Thank you so much.

Wow! May May you absolutely made this card so easy to follow. I had seen the one with all the measurements and lines and actually made a prototype to use for making the card. It was really complicated and not fun! But your video followed the hard one and I was amazed. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. I cannot wait to make these for different occasions. 😀

I have been making cards for a long time. the first time I saw this was on another site and the I searched for an easy way to do it and found your site and made it. The person I gave it to h was thrilled. I wanted to make it again and forgot which site I used, the one I used was very difficult . I spent about 3 hours to just trying to make the mechanics work. Then I remembered your site and now I have already made 5 of family and friends. It took me about 20 minutes to do the first one. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Betty Hoffman
Sandra
Super easy tutorial to follow. I will be making one tonight !

I’m new at card making. I just love your videos !!! You make it so easy to understand, how you go through each section so even a novice like me can do it. I want to thank you for that. If I can can make this card -took longer for me than you on this video – but I did it. I would have love to take a pic of it and show you, but I don’t know how to do that either. Haha.

Thank you so much for showing the shortcut to making the twist and pop cards!. I have made several of the snowman cards then finished my first two Christmas cards with the folding 4 panel twist and pop method at midnight last night. I am loving the results and can’t wait for feedback from Family and friends! Thank you again for your video’s! Merry Christmas and Happy New year! Sincerely, L. Saar

Love your presence and personality. Your insightful ways certainly make the process of card making easier for everyone, especially us newbies. I began watching card making videos two years ago. At first it was so intimidating but watching your videos have made it much easier than I initially thought. Thank you for being there. You make differences in our lives. God Bless You!
Julie
What were the prints you used please?
Debbie Perry
Great tutorial. Greatly simplified instructions. I have made this card using another set of instructions and really struggled. Can’t wait to try this as I can tell it will be a lot simpler. Thank you for re-constructing this technique!

You give the most complete instructions ever. I am so impressed. I don’t think you left anything left out in the video. Thank you so much.i am eager to make this for a special boy that turns 12 in Feb. and I was needed something special. I think this will do it. I plan to visit your site often. Thank you.
Gail
Love this fold…can’t wait to try it!
Diane Beaudoin
I love your videos! But, I think your score marks on the long side 10 3/4" side are incorrect. I think they should be 3 3/8, 5 3/8, and 7 3/8. I’ve ruined several pieces of card stock and watched this video over and over. Help please
Jeanne
I have followed your Twist Pop Up card tutorial more times than I can count and still can’t get the thing to work. What weight paper are you using for the “white” and “red” paper? I can get everything cut and when I go to glue the strips together, there is no twisting! I’m gluing them correctly…I can’t see what I’m doing wrong. Can you help?
Elaine
Really is easier this way…… Thanks for sharing and caring
Audrey
Thankyou for sharing, and making it so easy for me to understand. Love the card I’m a about to make it now. Thanks
CORINNE SAINDON
what is the name of the liquid glue that you use. I like the metal tip it has.
