Hi I'm Karen for Expert Village. I'm going to show you how to make a birthday cake pop
card. This pop up card uses a slightly different technique where you use a single sheet of
a card stock. You really need card stock for this technique. I'm going to use a half sheet.
So here is my half sheet of card stock, you need a exacto knife, a pair of scissors, some
marking pencils, some pens or decorative pencils to do some accent, a ruler and a simple pattern
of a birthday cake. We are going to start with our half sheet of card stock. You want
to fold that in half so you want to match the corners exactly and hold those down. Then
just slide your hands to the edge and crease that line. Now turn it over and on the back
we are going to measure a inch and a half from the center on both sides. I'm going to
mark this, this is a dark card stock I'm going to mark it with a white marking pencil. I'm
going to mark another inch and a half there and a inch and a half there. I'm going to
move down, we are going a inch and a half from the center. A inch and a half here and
a inch and a half here, and just draw a line through your two dots. Not too dark cause
later you will want to erase that, if you don't want to see those lines. Okay so now
you have two lines there. Now take your pattern and we are going to trace it but we are only
going to trace the outside of the birthday cake. You put the center we folded up our
pattern in half exactly and we are going to place that half crease right in the center
crease of the card. We are only going to trace the outside of the cake. From everything outside
of the line that you mark. So anything that over laps and is outside of that and you are
just going to trace that much. There and then place that back and do trace only the other
side. Everything on the outside of the line. So you have something that looks like that.
