Assembly Instructions 1012 Snowman Twist Circle

Snowman:Nest the face die into the smallest circle die and die cut from white cardstock to create the face overlay. Remove the face die and use just the circle die on dark cardstock to create the background piece. Glue the face piece over the background.

Finishing:Add a circle to the front of the platform. Glue the pop-up card into a larger backing card.

For snowman cards, use a pop-dot between the circles to create the layered snowman. Add the arms, hat and carrot nose.

Pop-up Lower Level: Use the pop-up die over the fold of a card making sure the alignment nubs are directly over the fold.

Pop-up Upper Level: Pinch and bring the two areas of the pop-up base forward. Die cut an upper platform arm, fold it in half and attach the tabs to each end of the base, lined up with the flat edges.

Fold the card in half and then work the diagonal folds to train them. Return every-thing to its original position and open the card.

Tips:Makes a great generic pop-up for any theme. Add greetings and embellishments to the circles for any occasion.

Create the pop-up first and then pay attention to the areas where the pop-up slides against the card as it closes. (Upper left, lower right) Don’t add bulky embellish-ments in these areas to avoid creating catch points.
