Three Tiered Nested Pull Card Tutorial

For this challenge, we were to create a project that showcased someone that you loved. I created a three-tiered nesting pull card to showcase my furbaby Bella, who died last year. Bella was an amazing dog. She was a little lady and was liked by people and canines alike. When she was young, we enjoyed training together in obedience and agility. She was always my faithful walking companion. The photo of Bella in the daffodils was taken the week before her cancer diagnosis. The photo of Bella and I was our first one together. She will always have a special place in my heart.

This project makes an excellent keepsake, but could also be made as a card. If you would like to make your own three-tiered nesting pull card, see the tutorial below.

Three Tiered Nested Pull Card Tutorial

---

Step One Large Tier

1. Start with a piece of card stock 8-½” x 5”. On the long side, score at 4” and 8”.

---

Step Two

2. On the short side, score at ½” and 4-½”.

---

Step Three

3. Using your paper cutter or a hobby blade and cutting mat, cut a slot along the center score line from the 7/8” mark to the 4-1/8” mark. Another way of putting this is, cut a slot along the score line from 7/8” in on the one side to 7/8” in on the other.

---

Step Four

4. Orient your card stock as shown. Cut away the rectangles from the bottom corners and angle cut the remaining three tabs as shown. Please note: the score lines have been enhanced, so that you can see where to cut. The red line shows where the slot was cut in step three.

---

Step Five

5. Place sticky strip on the three tabs.

---

Step Six Middle Tier

6. Start with a piece of card stock 8” x 3-7/8”. On the long side, score at 7/8”, 4” and 7-1/8”.

---

Step Seven

7. On the short side, score at 3/8” and 3-½”.

---

Step Eight

8. Using your paper cutter or a hobby blade and cutting mat, cut a slot along the middle score line from the ¾” mark to the 3-1/8” mark. Another way of putting this is, cut a slot along the score line from ¾” in on the one side to ¾” in on the other.

---

Step Nine

9. Cut away the two rectangles as shown. Also, make two short cuts where the green solid lines are marked. Please note: the score lines have been enhanced, so that you can see where to cut. The red line shows where the slot was cut in step eight.

---

Step Ten

10. Fold the two middle tabs along the score line as shown.

---

Step Eleven

11. Put sticky strip along the two middle tabs and two corners as shown.

---

Step Twelve Small Tier

12. Start with a piece of card stock 8” x 3”. On the long side, score at 1-¾”, 4” and 6-¼”.

---

Step Thirteen

13. On the short side, score at 3/8” and 2-5/8”.

---

Step Fourteen

14. Using your paper cutter or a hobby blade and cutting mat, cut a slot along the middle score line from the 1” mark to the 2” mark. Another way of putting this is, cut a slot along the score line from 1” in on the one side to 1” in on the other.

---

Step Fifteen

15. Cut away the four middle side tabs. Please note: the score lines have been enhanced, so that you can see where to cut. The red line shows where the slot was cut in step fourteen.

---

Step Sixteen

16. Put sticky strip on the two corners and along on the bottom.

---

Step Seventeen Tab

17. Punch a round tab piece out of card stock. Score down the middle of this piece.

---

Step Eighteen

18. Pierce a hole centered just below the score line.

---

Step Nineteen

19. Place a brad through the hole. Place a piece of sticky strip below the brad and on the far end.

---

Step Twenty

20. Flip the Round Tab Punch piece over and add a piece of sticky strip and finish securing the brad.

---

Step Twenty-one Assembly

21. Here are all the pieces ready for assembly.

---

Step Twenty-two

22. Remove the adhesive liner from the back side of the round tab punch (the side that has the brad legs). Fold along the score line to adhere to the two sides together. Carefully slide this piece on an angle through the slot of the smallest tier. Depending on the size of the brad, you will have to do this gently to avoid tearing the slot. Remove the adhesive liner from both sides of the round tab punch and the shoulders of the smallest tier. Fold together the layers to adhere together.

---

Step Twenty-three

23. Place photo or stamped image on the smallest tier. The photo or stamped layer should extend lower than the shoulders to avoid closure problems. Also, it is best not to embellish this layer as the embellishment may impede closure. It is easier to add this layer now while you have full access to the tier, than later when everything is sealed up.

---

Step Twenty-four

24. Feed the smallest tier through the slot of the middle tier and nest it within the side tabs. Remove the adhesive liner and fold the layers together to adhere.

---

Step Twenty-five

25. Place photo or stamped image on the middle tier. The photo or stamped layer should extend lower than the shoulders to avoid closure problems. Also, it is best not to embellish this layer as the embellishment may impede closure. I have cut a heart into the white cardstock and recessed a piece of designer paper behind it. It is easier to add this layer now while you have full access to the tier, than later when everything is sealed up.

---

Step Twenty-six

26. Turn the largest tier over so that the sticky strip is facing down. Feed the middle tier through the slot of the largest tier.

---

Step Twenty-seven

27. Bend in the side tabs first. Remove adhesive liner from the side tabs.

---

Step Twenty-eight

28. Bend in the bottom tab. Remove the adhesive liner from the bottom tab.

---

Step Twenty-nine

29. Fold the top half down onto the tabs and press together to adhere.

---

Step Thirty

30. Decorate the largest tier as desired. This layer may be embellished so long as nothing pierces through the layers or blocks the slots at the top.
