The inspiration for the cool Lever Pop-Up card is from Thienly who is one of the Designers for SVGcuts.com. See her fabulous creations on the Craft Zone section at SVGcuts.com. She also has a blog and Facebook page: www.modpaperie.blogspot.com where many of the projects are posted. Thank you Thienly for your patience and help to allow me to make this card for my special friend.
This project is a Gift for a very special friend. It's a Lever style B'day card: Asian style!
The card: card front is embossed. front card mat is also embossed and flanked with punched vellum butterflies along with a SCAL SVG cherry blossom cut file, SCAL SVG Fan cut file.
Here's a closer detail of the mat details:
First: the gift envelope..........LOVE that patterned paper by My Little Shoebox with a strip of punched cherry blossoms (Martha Stewart punch) with a cherry blossom closure. Centers of the cherry blossom are 1/2" punched circle attached to the back
The gift tag is a stamped banner with "Happy Birthday" in both English and Chinese. The banner stamp is from Stampmagick - there are interchangeable words that fit into the banner.
Open the flap to reveal the gift: a lattice metal die. Love that flat invisible Velcro closure.
Love this stamp in the back of the envelope: "Proud Creation" is from Stampmagick
Here's the opened card:
The contrast solid color words "Happy Birthday" are off set a little to show the background of the patterned paper.

Be sure to check the outside and inside card, shave off excess as shown if necessary;
Apply dimensionals to the front mat, fan, and cherry blossoms as shown:

Another Creation by Patti wonder! I always love your work, especially when you do Asian. I think I was one in a prior life, I adore Asian influence on my cards. Oh, by the way, thanks for leading me to Becca. She is another amazing (lol) papercrafter!
