Easy Pop Up Card
Tidying the desk yet again, and I came across some stickers that looked fun for a card
I wanted to add a bunch of them so I thought the best base card would be the pop up box card.
You can get dies to make it, but they are not necessary if you have some basic tool.
Cut a piece of A4 card down to measure 16cm wide and 29-30cm long
Along the 16cm edge score at 9cm . The bottom section being 9cm deep and the top section 7cm.Keep the spare piece for later
Turn and score 7cm the full length
Score again at 14cm from the 9cm line to the base
Score at 21cm & 28Cm full length.
The 4 sections form the box with the unscored section forming the back, and the 1-1.5cm end section making the flap to put the box section together.
Cut the top section of the seam away with a slight V notch under the score line
Cut the top score lines down to the 9cm line cutting very neatly each side of the score line to make it easy to fold up and down.
If you want to cover the sections with pretty back papers cut 4 pieces 8,5cm H and 6.5cm W
3 pieces 6.5cm x 6.5cm and one piece for the back 15.5cm x 6.5cm
Glue them or use double side tape to add to the box card.
From the spare card cut 2 strips 11cm long by 1cm wide and score 2cm each end
Add double sided tape to the outside of the flap and then fold the other edge to fit over
Put tape on the ends of the 11cm strip and stick to either side of the box, positioned just below the 9cm line. One in front and one at back .
Next cut strips of acetate at different lengths and add your stickers to the top end. Stick them onto the two lines of card at angles so you can see as much of the embellishments as possible.
I have used carton animals but you can use butterflies, flowers, birds etc
This card will fold flat and fit into an A5 envelope.
Next up some more acetate cards with hexagonal shape that give the illusion of an invisible suspension card.
