This next card was inspired by Jen McGuire and her Pop Up Shadow Box cards, 

really cute and FUN!

This will be entered into the Scor Pal Challenge, Soft And Subtle.

And the Scrapy Land, Anything Goes!

Using 2 pieces of card stock measuring 6 1/4 x 5 1/2, score each one at 1/2" and 1". 

Flip, and score again at the other end at 1/2" and 1".  

This is what will create that zig zag fold when you assemble together.  

This also creates the shadow box and 'popping' movement.
