Today I am going to show you how to make a pop-up box card, I will be using the following Imagine Design Create products

Create the Box

  1. I started by cutting a piece of strong white card measuring 11.25” x 5.75” and scored it as shown in the picture below

  1. Next, I stuck the box together using strong double-sided tape. 

 

  1. I then added coloured papers to each of the visible surfaces, measurements as follows  

Yellow paper – 1 piece measuring 2.5 x 5.5”, 3 pieces measuring 2.5 x 2.25” 

Blue paper – 3 pieces measuring 2.5 x 3” 

 

Once adhered this is what it should look like.

  1. The next stage is to add struts inside the box which will allow us to adhere our decorations. I cut 2 pieces of card measuring 3.5” x 1” And scored them at 3/8” at either end, you will need to use strong tape to fix these in place, you should now have a box that looks like this

  1. To add the decorations inside the box I used the Lily the Lion stamp set to stamp, colour and cut the Lion image. I also stamped 5 balloons using the Birthday balloons stamp set. I glued them onto wire and then onto the struts, this allows them to stand up and “explode” out of the box. 

 

  1. I also cut some long blades of grass from some green paper, you can draw them out in pencil then cut but I found it quicker to freestyle it.

  1. Lastly, I stamped Happy Birthday onto the front of the box flap. 

 

How fun is this card? The great thing is it will fold flat to pop in an envelope.
