Just discovered this type of card today. Maymay, as always you are so much fun to watch. I can't wait to make some cards like this. They are just adorable.

[@suzannesutton6337]

Thank you so much. You made it really simple to learn.

[@RM-rt2zq]

Though this is an old video I DO hope you see how grateful we all are to you for explaining how to do this on a variety of cards...THANK YOU!!!!!

[@rubymsp1264]

Thanks for making this easy.

[@epross123]

It would be cute to make the skinny one arms, so it is like a hug.

[@lesleyrodgers3872]

Maymay you are a crafting genius I was hoping to buy a twist and pop die but now I don't have to I have made a twist and pop along with you thank you for taking time out to share your formula

[@minikraut]

Maymay, I wish I had found this earlier! I am mostly doing DIN formats (European or "Deutsches Institut fuer Normung"). So I'm ever so happy when someone comes up with the FORMULA to create something rather than giving the actual measurements for a single card size. Thank you, this is so helpful!!

[@rachelhuffman1303]

Thank you!!! I love the pop and twist and I’ve followed other videos but they are more complicated and usually in centimeters and I didn’t know how to adapt it to other sizes! So appreciated!

[@cindy.km9]

I will be trying this with posters!!! This will be my challenge!!!!!!!

[@Jazzinay1]

Really like the various sizes. Will be making. Thanks

[@Stacymc2012]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank YOU SO MUCH!!!! You have NO IDEA how frustrated I've been with creating these pop and twist cards! I've been writing things down in centimeters (I found the instructions at first in DUTCH on Pinterest (No, I'm not Dutch, I don't speak Dutch, I don't know any Dutch persons, though I'm sure they're very lovely people LOL!)) and my goodness, there were just so many formulas and measurements that I then had to TRANSLATE and then convert... Maymay, I nearly cried SEVERAL times. This was a couple of months ago. Finally, last night, I was on Pinterest and I found the Twist-N-Pop cards, their names AND IT WAS IN ENGLISH, and I was like, "OMG. I WONDER IF MAYMAY HAS MADE THESE BEFORE". NOW IT MAKES SENSE! NOW IT DOESN'T SEEM AS DAUNTING! You have NO IDEA how much you've helped me with your videos, and I'm excited to look through your Pop&Twist playlist as well (I have that open in another tab). I finally feel like I can breathe while making these! So far I've already made like four, and I've made myself little diagrams and took notes while you spoke (I wish I could attach pictures on the youtube comment section so you could see all the little notes I've made LOL!), it's the educator in me. We take notes. We're teachers, it's what we do HA! But seriously. Thank you again, I cannot thank you enough for making this so easy and so achievable. I don't generally comment on videos, but I couldn't help myself this time. Sorry for the long note! Thank you again! Take care, stay safe and healthy!

[@kathleentracy8466]

Excellent explanation! Thanks!

[@slr559]

I wish I had seen this before I paid almost $50.00 to order the die online and no instruction. I can not believe I did that. Thank you so much.

[@tonimcclendon5541]

Thank you so much for making this application so easy. I have made several card using this.❤

[@judithwalker5477]

[@patriciaharland9647]

Thanks. Very helpful.

It is such a pleasure to watch so smart and intelligent woman. Thank you for the perfect tutorial.

[@doramather4729]

I play this video several time, I made the card, yeah, yeah, 😊😊🥰😍🤩

[@dalewalkey8269]

Fantastic teaching ... perfect pacing and clear visuals !!! Thank you very much.

[@CraftinBlind]

The bigger one, that you kept saying you couldn’t imagine needing it that big, I made about a year and a half ago. It PERFECTLY holds a gift card on each inside panel!! For my SIL’s birthday I put four Starbucks gift cards inside, and everyone loved it! Four gift cards popping up at you makes a really fun gift! Thanks for sharing this tutorial. 💜

[@cmtmomx3]

CraftinBlind That’s the first thing I thought about doing when I saw it! Bet it was a hit!!!

[@mrscms831]

Great instruction, thanks.

[@veronicagepp7123]

You are a lifesaver! I couldnt find the video I was watching and couldnt figure out how to install the middle part. Then I found your video. Everyone will be getting pop and twist cards from now on. Thank you for making it so simple

[@profreinds4317]

Hey...came accross this video today...have been making this card from so long...all the time I ended up that I won't make this again...coz of measuremens nd not opening and closing properly...but u explained it so well...and end of the day tried this card with ur technique...it's easy to make now...this video was worth watching...Thanks a ton❤️❤️❤️...

[@BrandyAnnDesign]

Omg. I just searched to figure this out!!!!!!!! what are the odds I catch you live showing how too! god is so good!

[@pamhartt4304]

[@rubymoler-wilksstudent6684]

Pop up cards make me CRAZY...until I found YOU! Thanks so much...now I "understand" what I am doing...you are the BEST instructor EVER!!!

[@conniehinojosa2201]

I can wait to try it. Thanks a lot 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕💕💕🌷🌷🌷

[@karenwalker1255]

I LOVE this idea! ❤ I took your suggestion and searched Pinterest for ideas and it is amazing how many ideas are out there. Thank you for this wonderful lesson.

[@lizpardini7947]

May May! How am i just finding you???? This is a three year old video and I cannot believe how long I have been making cards and had not ever made a Pop and Twist card!!! Thank you for making videos like this. The information is clear and easy to follow. Your directions are the best. Many, many Thanks!!!!!

[@StampinBeachTeacher]

I had made this kind of card years ago at a stamping retreat, and even tho it frustrated me, I managed to make two more as special occasion cards. I had forgotten the directions and watched 3 other videos before finding this updated version form you today. Your way is by far the easiest and I like that I didn’t have to make an A2 size card for the process to work. I did need to slow the video down to half speed and rewind a good bit, but I did get a card made. Thank you for all your help!

[@calbear1313]

May may. Simply put you're amazing. You're clearconcise and spark creativity. And you're humble happy approach is admirable. Best to you and yours Cheers from California. Dave m

[@jellery2]

Thank you so much!❤

[@stampedinhisimage1]

I have been trying to figure out what kind of card to give a friend for her birthday and this has to be it!!! Thanks for the simple directions, now I don't have to try to find the die set I saw in another video to make them and I can make any size I want!!! I am so excited I could scream with joy.

[@kiwipommiegirl]

Thanks so much Maymay for this video! You are a great teacher and explain how to make twist & Pop cards in detail.xx

[@theresadavies7091]

Wow! So easy! Just made 12 of them in no time! Love your easy directions!

[@pearlyj2]

Thanks for such a simple way to make pop & twist. Sooooo easy!!!

[@puddytatpurr]

Would it still work if you cut off the 'arms' of the mechanism that you don't glue to the popup? I just thought it would make things a bit less bulky

[@kygirlcraftin98]

Puddytatpurr I was wondering the same thing.

[@aidagonzalez2035]

Love it! This is just what I was searching for. You simplify the process!

[@brendalawrence6732]

This was very helpful in making a pop and twist in any size! Thanks for much for your clear directions Maymay. Hugs, Brenda

[@kathys7325]

This is great tips to know the different card sizes!! Thank you! Shared

[@lisebedard7247]

Love it.

[@jaytee2642]

Wow! I've never even seen a pop n twist card before, and now I (almost) know how to make one. I've got to try this! Thank you Maymay!🤗

[@patriciakounakowitch3025]

Thanks SO much!!!!

[@elenigratsia3997]

Thank you thank you..... you explained it so easily and am adding them everywhere, even in mini books and scrapbook pages!!!!

[@celestialbrat]

This is my favorite tutorial for pop and twists thank you!

[@sonjabowling3876]

Love this

[@helenwilliams1669]

Just saw this. Having made twist pops before I can say this is much simpler and more versatile. Love it. Thanks MayMay!

[@julioreginald3836]

i know Im randomly asking but does someone know a tool to log back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot the account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me.

[@alvinleandro5794]

@Julio Reginald Instablaster :)

[@BonnieApps-t3e]

Perfect. You made it so clear and so easy!!!! THANK YOU

[@shrierobinson6741]

Fantastic!!!!!

[@JudithWright-y4d]

Thank you!!! 👍🏼

[@nonamason6857]

The diagonal guides on your work surface can also help line up your ends.

[@yolandamccurdy7177]

U r amazing. I have been wanting to make pop and twist cards for so long and now I can. Thank u sooooo much. U r the best👍🏻

[@carolinagrijalva9618]

You make it look so easy 😊 Thank you, God Bless

[@abeph23]

Wow! You have really simplified the measuring. Thanks

[@cdmxpomeranians]

Thank you very much for the idea, I really liked it, receive an affectionate greeting from Ajusco México

[@irenedyson6469]

Just seen this demo and I can say it’s the best tutorial and demo I have seen for this card. Thank you so much. Irene from Liverpool.

[@nonamason7858]

I made one of these before. It was ugly and off. Yesterday I watched your video. Boy is it easier than any others I have watched! Thank you so much. I went on to make two mechanisms and they came out perfectly! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@maryblackhursthill6249]

I know this is not a recent video, but I'm so glad I found it. You explain the logic and engineering so well. I have followed tutorials for these pop & twist cards before, but always felt I was in the dark about how they actually worked. I always wanted to understand - and now I do. Thank you so much!

[@donnagroh9724]

So much easier. Thanks Maymay.

[@chrissiekeelanmagicvegan9781]

THANK YOU! I have tried, and failed, so many times to do this! You have explained the mechanism in such a logical way, that I could now almost make these with my eyes closed. 😁 So grateful - thanks again. 🌞 xox🌱❤️🌿xox

[@jeanmigliori6363]

I think you have made it so easy, Thank you.

[@slr559]

Thank you so much for showing this. I love it and I love you.

[@judithherring8220]

Oh May-May!! Thank you so much for this pop and twist card tutorial! I’ve spent too much time looking for this card, was about to give up, and then I happened on your channel. Ya know, it’s the simple things in life that make it worthwhile, and I’m feel in’ right now! I’m working on a card for my darlin’ sister’s 60th and want it to be special. Thanks to your tutorial generosity, you’ve given me the boost I needed. Don’t mean to go overboard with my comment, but I’m an artist and have a passion for these things. Bless you! p.s. you should give lessons on how to do stress free, not too much extraneous chit-chatting, easy to understand tutorials! Thanks again.

[@gerrearnold2917]

Absolutely adorable!!! Love the snowman pop up too! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@dorismeehan7260]

Thanks! I made a practice card.

[@Kathy234Jane]

You did an excellent job in teaching this. Thanks so much!

[@dlanemaet]

What a great tutorial, Maymay!! I love formulas so that once I know the parameters, I can apply them and vary it however I want. Just what I've needed! And it's even more special seeing your video and hearing your voice because I met you when you came to Pigeon Forge TN. A great experience! God bless you.

[@teresaschacherbauer4137]

Thank you, you have finally taught me to make a pop and twist card. You directions are easy to understand and I was able to successfully make one. I’m also able to make any size card, Thank to this video. Thanks again.

[@aliciabonavente607]

thank you❤

[@cyn9247]

So easy to follow- thanks for taking the guess work out of what size to do.

[@shellyrene5708]

I wonder, would it be possible to make a smaller mechanism than the piece being glued atop the mechanism, provided that the piece being glued is centered on the mechanism? Great tutorial

[@lauraanderson2429]

MayMay is the Queen of Cards! This is brilliant and you explained it so beautifully. Can’t wait to make one of these cards. I want to make several sizes and save these. Great Idea and loved the easy way you showed how to do this!

[@Pauline-ir2tr]

I made this graduation card for my niece who is graduating from college next weekend out of state. My niece and her roommate visited from out of town this past weekend. They both loved the card. I was amazed how simple it was to make and how complicated it looks. (It took me longer to decide on and gather my supplies together than it did to make the card!)

[@bevyblu66]

I wish I had seen your video before buying a die set. You made it look so easy and your method made a lot of sense without buying a die. At least now I can make bigger or smaller depending on what I want. Thank you so much.

[@sharontarpinian2411]

You are a life saver! I watched other videos but didn't know how to make a card the size I wanted to go into my granddaughter's birthday castle album card. I have my supplies ready and am excited to get going on this portion of the album. Thank you soooo much. I appreciate your making the video to share with us.

[@doramather4729]

Thank you, I was searching on how to make this card, you made it so easy to make thiscard.🥰😍🤩

[@deborahbuonomo296]

Wow!! Thanks soo much for sharing this, Maymay! 💜💜💜

[@rhodamabbott8101]

Excellent demonstration, thank you for sharing!

[@bettiefrisby9844]

Love, Love, Love this card. I used your other video to make a birthday card for my nephew yesterday. It is going in the mail to him today! I'll try this method next time.

[@jac4YouTube]

thank you for making this so simple to understand

[@pratibhasadhu8641]

Wow you are fabulous! Just loved watching you . You have explained so well thank you

[@tinaelliott8029]

Awesome job, you explained this so well. Thank you as always

[@kristywetzel3668]

You are amazing! I love love love your tutorials. You make it so easy. Thank you!

[@anmasujo3821]

So glad I found this. There is one that's from 3 yrs ago from another KZbinr. I am creating a few cards and a memory album where I wanted to add some card features. This is perfect! The thin strip model is what I am going to use to place a strip of "clouds" on, and then balloons 🎈 over the clouds! Because the child loves balloons. The design on the inside of the card is going to be light blue to dark blue to give the idea of clouds floating up into the sky! 😀

[@carlasimpson7588]

Thank you so much for sharing this technique. I made this type card one other time and it was so hard and took a very long time to get it right. After watching your video it only took me a few minutes and worked perfectly. It opened and closed so smoothly. Thank you so much again!

[@midgedinardo6993]

This is great! Thank you for teaching us this. ❤

[@homeismyvacation]

easy to follow and l appreciate the various sizes. Thank you for sharing this.

[@callmejacki]

I am loving this pop and twist mechanism! Thanks for clearing up the dimensions. There is a British guy who has a book on paper mechanics (D. Birmingham) who explains this and your video brought it home. He cuts out the top of the point to reduce the bulk and glues it flat. I am making pop up cards like crazy! The hardest part now is assembling the rights papers patterns and stamps. So much fun!

[@katherine-ow9mm]

Thank you MayMay!💕 Looking forward to trying these inside a waterfall in an interactive album!

[@iffatraihana2896]

I was having so much issues with the mechanism. And now It's solved... Thank you so much for the video
