Iris Fold Pop Up Card

I recently watched a video about how to create this kind of card. I have done many iris folds shakers in the past but I liked the pop up feature inside this one! 

The inside component was completed first after cutting a small slit in the cardstock panel. I used some poinsettia papers to decorate the inside section and also embossed some Evergreen cardstock. The center section pops up when the card is opened, revealing another piece. I used this area to create a gift card holder. I also stamped a sentiment on a circle and cut the edge to keep it flat against the side. 

The front of the card was adhered together and then a circle was die cut to allow for the shaker. I used old origami papers to create the iris and then added some mixed sequins. A small poinsettia with branches and berries was added at the side and a skinny sentiment was tucked under one of the branches. Some gold ribbon was used to finish off the card.
