Pop up box card

Hi all, 

I have found a new (to me) fold that I just love and would like to share with you all.

I found the tutorial on how to do this HERE, it is very easy to follow and you can do lots of different styles with it.

I wanted this one to be like a box of flowers you get from the florists, but without the hassle of having to feed and water the roses lol.

I wrote mum on mine but any sentiment could go on here really, and with a lot of hospitals not allowing flowers now this might be a good theme for a get well soon card.

I made this one for my Husbands valentines card, this was the first one I had made. 

I kept this one quite simple as the red and silver miri cards, made the embellishments stand out.

The sentiment was heat embossed with glitter embossing powder.

I hope you give it a go as it is very simple and great fun.

They fold to fit in a flat envelope so no need to worry about making a box to fit.

LEJ Designs challenge.

Hi all, this is the first of the monthly challenges over at LEJ Designs.

The challenge will now run from the 7th of every month, with a prize of four digis of your choice from the shop.

I hope you all enjoy taking part in these challenges, I know we look forward to seeing your creations.

This is my contribution to the challenge this month, I gave this to my daughter for her 4th birthday she is constantly covered in mud lol.

 Here is a very rough guide on how to make this card as we all like things differently, and size will matter when it comes to measuring your score lines.

Firstly I took a A4 sheet of green card and placed a (grande spellbinder) large scalloped square die, roughly in the middle of the paper and cut it out.

I then scored at 5cm and 7.5 cm in on each side.

Then I cut the top and bottom down so there was only about 1cm above and below the scalloped edge, before I used another from this nest of dies to scallop the edges. 

After lining with yellow card I folded on the score lines and put together before embellishing.

You may prefer to embellish beforehand but I wanted to see it how it would look finished as I went along. 

Have fun and remember to check back next month for another challenge and a picture of our new arrival.
