Easy 4 Panel Pop Up Card

Pop Up Card

Thanks to Mrs A's Butterfly Challenge I found a new card fold to play with! This is such a perfect design to use up pattern paper. In fact I didnt even use cardstock to make this card as I could get a sturdy card by sticking 2 pattern papers back to back. [The polka dot background paper was fairly thick]

Pop Up Card

My background paper has purple polka dots which were widely spaced so I spruced it up by using a sharpie to add more purple dots ! For a more cohesive look I also added purple dots on the fussy cut pop up flowers !

Pop Up Card

This card fold is perfect to make simple pop ups as you have two hinges to add pop ups to! I cut the flowers from pattern paper and in the picture below you can see how I created the tabs for the pop up using the paper design itself.

And here is the back with more dots galore and the same colour scheme of rose, purple,green and straw. All the gorgeous butterflies you see in this card were ones I had won in Mrs A's Butterfly Challenge many moons back.....they are my favourite !Thank you Mrs A for your generosity .

Four Panel Pop Up Card

Its been so long since I participated in challenges.......Mrs A's Butterfly challenge is one of my favourites I love butterflies and the fun add on themes she urges us to use to spur your creativity on!

4 Panel Card

I made a 4 Panel Card with butterflies galore. The butterflies were made using one of my oldest craft supplies-- a Sizzix stamp and die set.

I added simple pop up mechanism on the card folds and made the butterflies dangle! And here is how my rose garden looks with a garden gate and fluttering butterflies!

And here is the back side..with beautiful roses.

Slider Box Tutorial

Hi friends I love interactive mechanism and in this post I am sharing an Interactive box....a sliding box along with a matching Pop Up Card and a Post it note holder all made with nesting dies from Crealies

I used fairy themed papers and add matching handmade foam flowers on the front of the box

I used one of my favourite Crealies dies to make the simple flowers from foamiran

The lid of the box is special....it has a slider opening and on pulling up the slider you can see an image inside!

I kept the inside fairly simple as I plan to use it as a gift box...you can add cute scenic elements inside if you want to use it as a shadow box.

Tutorial

Here is a generalized Tutorial to make the slider mechanism . I am not giving any exact measurements as you can adapt the techniques to any die in your stash

The sliding mechanism is in the lid of the box and is a modified slider card.

Materials

Nesting Dies. In this post I have used Crealies dies : Crea Nest Lies XXL No 96 Ticket.
Card stock : thick good quality to make the base so that you have a sturdy slider
Pattern Paper
Good adhesive

Make a box of dimensions such that is smaller than the largest nesting die you are going to use.

Leave a 1/2 inch flap extra at the top of the box on all sides [ see the picture lower down the post to understand what I mean]

Tape 2 nesting dies together to get a wide frame- my new glass mat was really helpful in getting the centering right!

Die cut 2 frames from card stock and one frame from pattern paper

I also die cut the larger of the die from cardstock and pattern paper to form a an optional base for the box[ see picture lower down]

Make a slider piece so that its dimensions are slightly larger than the inner aperture of the frame

To allow the slider to move in and out of the lid you need to create a pocket in the lid for it using double sided foam tape or cardstock like I did here. The advantage of using cardstock is that is looks more polished and there is no danger of it becoming unstuck over time which is a risk with foam tape!

The card pieces are as long as the sides of the box.

The lower one measures 1 and 1/8 inches and is scored 1/2 inch from either side of its width leaving a 1/8 inch in the middle as shown above

The side pieces measure 2 inches and are scored at 1/2 inch from either end of the width and then 1/8 inch from this 1/2 inch score line

The side pieces are stuck in such a way that the 1/2 inch sides are on the frame and placed such that the slider piece can move freely.

The lower one is stuck in such a way that the half inch part is on the base and the rest is free as shown below

This is how it will look with the slider in situ

Once you are happy with the sliding ...you can add the top frame lid consisting of pattern paper frame stuck to the cardstock frame.

Apply glue and stick

This is how you slider lid will look

Apply glue to the box which you had made with an extra half inch free flap on the top on all sides as shown

Stick the box under your slider lid and press firmly

Optionally add another base layer to the box and decorate as you please

I made a matching card for the box by layering die cuts.

On the inside I tried a new type of Pop Up Card design and it turned out super cool!I used the nesting diecuts to create pop up layers one in front of the other.

The "live laugh love life" is from a new Crealies stamp set and is perfect for small cards and tags.

Here is the side view showing the layered pop up mechanism

Here is the backside of the box and card which is simple to give enough space to write a personal message.

To complete the gift set, I made a matching shaker Post- it note holder too.

I love how versatile nesting dies are and I hope you liked these ideas on how to use them in different ways

Twist and Pop Up Card

Hi friends...sharing a Pop Up Card made with new Crealies dies. The front of the card is made using the Crealies "patchwork" dies which is such a beautiful design from Crealies . I first used the Patchwork dies in this post : Simple Foamiran Flower Tutorial

Patchwork Card Design

I used the Patchwork die on pattern paper and also cut out some pieces from blue craft foam so that I can pop up parts to give a nice 3 D look. Using matching colored craft foam instead of regular white foam adhesive tape gave a more unique look to the 3 D Jigsaw puzzle effect!

Patchwork Card Design

The little pieces do take time to put together but it is so gratifying ...like solving a mini puzzle!

The handmade foamiran flowers are made with Crealies flower dies and are super easy and quick to make and here is the Tutorial

The twist and pop mechanism on the inside was made with the Crealies Cardzz No.13A and Cardzz No 13 dies [ also featured in these posts : Paper Stars Tutorial and Squash Fold Mini album] and this is how it looked before assembling.
