Hello Friends,
Welcome to the February Craft Hoarders Anonymous Hop! You
should be coming to my blog from Karen's
Blog. To start at the beginning of the hop, and for
the full list of Bloggers, go to Gloria's Blog.
Today I would like to share with you this Card in a Box, also called Pop Up Box that I created for my daughter's birthday. To make the card base I used Spellbinders Scalloped Pop Up Box die set. This die set has all the cutting and folding lines which makes it really easy to assemble your Pop Up Box. For the flowers and leaves I used Spellbinders Marisa's Bouquet die set and for the "Happy Birthday To You" sentiment I used Spellbinders Bordered Sentiments die set.
I designed these dies for Spellbinders last year, they all work together really well to create this project.

This Flower Pop Up Box can be folded flat for mailing or storing purposes.
Instructions:
1. Die cut
Scalloped Pop Up Box largest die 4 times from natural white cardstock. Fold
tabs in at the crease. Glue 4 pieces together at the tabs to form box. Fold
only 3 flaps down at the crease leaving the back panel straight. Cover all
panels with pattern paper.
2. Die cut 3
small rectangles from the set. Fold rectangles at the creases and glue to
inside of box at 5/8” intervals. These rectangles are the support for the
branches.
3. Die cut
scalloped borders from the set and adhere to box .
4. Die cut
Bordered Sentiments (Happy, Birthday, To You), adhere to box flaps next to
scalloped border.
5. Using
Marisa’s Bouquet set, die cut multiple flowers, branches, leaves and
butterflies. Color with distress inks.
6. Shape
petals and layer together to form flowers.
Adhere branches to rectangles inside box and then attach several sets of
flowers on branches.
7. Decorate
box flaps with more flowers, leaves and butterflies. Die cut 2 sun shapes, layer together and adhere
to back of the box with foam squares.
Embellish center of flowers with pearls.
I also created a square box for the card using the same sentiment dies, cardstock and pattern paper.
