Pop up Alice by Helen Chilton

I thought I'd post this pop up card this week that I've made for my daughter's birthday.

It uses a Stamperia kit which has everything in it, no extras needed, so from that point of view is very easy to make.

However the instructions were minimal for a pop up novice like me so I did sit there for a bit trying to puzzle out how it fit together, hence the lots of pics of the mechanisms. (Or it could be I didn't read the instructions properly - I'm notorious for just launching in!!!)

First of all it took me a while to work out you had to fold the edge under to make a flap to stick to the base.

It looks like this from above.

To attach the pop up figures you need to fold the thin strips of card into a rectangle or square (allowing a little overlap to stick down) and then stick this to the figure, the base and the main card body. Once you've done one, it's easy.
