Christmas pop up card in a box

Hello,

It is almost Christmas so can now make Christmas cards until my hearts content.

So, I started with a basic pop up box and covered in Christmas papers, I die cut trees, sleigh's, reindeer's, penguins, snowmen, snowflakes, etc and sentiments, and decorated my pop up box card.

See previous pop up box card post for full measurements on how to make a pop up box card.

pop up cards...... with full measurements for making this card

Hello,

Am feeling the crafty bug today.  Have been having a play this morning.

I have used the Robert Addams pop up box trellis die for the box card, and found some left over decoupage I brought years ago and added it to the box.  And finished with some butterflies.

A quick and easy card.

Measurements for the card are as follows:

1 x A4 piece of card.

Score along the length at 7cm, 14cm, 21cm, and28cm, turn and score at 12cm.  Cut down the top score lines to the 12cm score line.  The extra bit at the end is what you stick behind the first panel to create the box, trim the top extra piece off.  Cut two strips of card 1cm x 9cm and score at 1cm from each end and stick in side the top of the pop up box this is for you to stick your flowers to etc.  Will fold flat for posting.

Happy crafting

Morehead stamp and flower card......

Hello all,

Well, after 10 days of tonsillitis, enforced not eating - good for the old diet I might add ;-), I finally feel well enough to make a card - it must have been bad for me not to craft...... or eat!!!  lovely and quite for the old man though..... may have to make up for that.

I have had a play this morning with a Crafter's Companion Morehead stamp, I coloured with Spectrum Noir pens, HB1, HB2, HB3 for the hat and dress, with TB1 and TB3 for the accents, FS1, FS3, FS4, PP1 for the skin, and GB3, CT2, LY3 for the hair and IC3 and IC1 for the shoes.  The rose was coloured with DR5, DR6, DR7, and glittered.

I started with an 8x8 card blank, added silver miri card as a matt and layered centura pearl white card with the corners die cut.  I added a 4 inch wide piece of lace around the centre of the card, a doily and die cut the Morehead character I had stamped and coloured and placed in the centre of the doily.

I punched out various flowers and coloured with spectrum noir pens, focusing on HB1, HB3, LY3 as the main colours and add leaves and fern and added these to the left side of the card round the Morehead topper.  I die cut a fence and cut down and placed on the bottom left of the card as an accent, used pretty pink polka dot ribbon to make a bow and stuck a butterfly gem in the centre of the ribbon and cut out butterflies to add round the card.

In the middle of cold and damp weather I feel cheered up a little by this card.

Happy crafting
