This 5x7 card opens to a pop out fan. I saw Sam Colcott make a 6x6 card like this with butterflies but wanted flowers and a 5x7. The fan is cut from a single 8 ½ x 11 medium weight cardstock. You can really put anything on the top. You can spell something out, make a scene with flowers, butterflies, fairies, lady bugs, the possibilities are endless. After the video I did add a second row of leaves to each side of the card. It did make it look a lot more like a flower bed.
