Mum Pop Up Box

 

I have made this box with a 30x15cm piece of white card.

I scored the card at 7cm, 14cm and 28cm

I scored the width of the card at 7cm

I used the 2xm at the end of the card as a glue tab. On the top of the box I cut the 2cm of card away.

I cut strips of card at 9cm long and scored them at 1cm on each side and used these as glue tabs. I attached them to the inside of the box. I covered the panels with spotty paper.  I added the detail to acetate to attach them to the strips.

Birthday Card

 

My son sent me a photo and asked me to make a personalised birthday card for his friends Mam.

I have covered my A4 card with red and white spotty card. I printed the photograph and then die cut it with a scalloped circle Xcut die from a nesting set. I used the next size in the nesting set to cut a black scalloped circle to mount the photograph before attaching it to my card. I printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with a Presscut oval die from a nesting set and then cut a black oval to mount the sentiment before attaching it to my card. I completed my card with die cut daffodils.

This is my creation for the challenges over at craftyhazelnutspatternedpaper

After seeing recent projects made with a new die set I decided to give it a go with dies I already have and my scoreboard

I have made a rectangular box using my scoreboard. I scored the three sides to make a "counter" and left the back straight. I added the gingham card to the back. The pink die cut shape will include a sentiment along with the sign. I cut the trellis using a Cheery Lynn die and added it to the front and side of the box. I cut the wheelbarrow and watering can using Lea'bilities dies. I added the fence and grass along the front and sides of the box and then added small flowers. I die cut a border and added it to the edge of the "counter" I added the die cut fork and spade and made a bunch of flowers with a circle scored and folded and used pieces of the grass to be stems and finally added flowers. This card will fold flat to fit into an envelope.
