Video Transcript

"Hi this is Karen for Expert Village. Now I'm going to show you how to make a frog pop up card. For this you would need a card stock or just a heavy paper you can use. A pair of scissors, some accents pens, and a little bit of double stick tape or a dab of glue. This is going to be a quarter fold card. So we would start by matching our corners exactly and you want to hold those corners exactly together. Hold that and then crease the center. Put the crease in the center and then turn in and repeat over to the side. Hold the corners together, hold firmly, and then crease the card like this. Now we are going to open it up and fold it the long way like that. So first you can make the mouth of the frog. We are going to make a cut about a inch and a half in. You can measure if you like or you can just guess. It is not particularly you be exactly a inch and a half. You can make your frog any size you want. Then you are going to fold back the corner open that out. Like this. Fold out the other side like so and crease that well. So now you have something that looks like this. We are going to make one more cut, this is for the eye and you will cut on top. Fold. You are going to cut in about a half a inch right from the middle of that folded area headed it towards the corner of the fold. Then you just snip like that. Then we are going to fold that back. Just like we did with the other one but it is a lot smaller. This is what it should look like. "
