Hey everyone! I'm back today with my inspiration for Creative Fingers Challenge Blog. We have a great prize up for grabs so why not get crafting and try your luck. For my inspiration I wanted to try another fun fold card I've never made before so I chose a Pop Up Box. I justed loved making this card it was super fun and the end result just looks amazing! The recipient of the card is a massive The Nightmare Before Christmas fan so I ran with that theme for this box. I'm going to link a video tutorial on how to make one and a link to a written tutorial as I used a card blank for this card.
I've had pop up box card blanks in my stash for ages so I decided to use one of them for this card. My card blank measured 20cms by 28cms plus a extra 1cm for my tab. I started by measuring out my purple matting. I had three pieces measuring 11cms by 6.5cms, six pieces measuring 8cms by 6.5cms and one piece measuring 19.5cms by 6.5cms. Once I cut them all out using my scissors I used double sided tape to stick them all on to my card blank.
For my backing paper I printed off this lovely black, white and purple nightmare before christmas design. Next I measured out three pieces at 10.5cms by 6cms, six at 7.5cms by 6cms and one piece at 19cms by 6cms. Again I cut them out with my scissors and used double sided tape to stick them all on to my purple matting. That's my card blank decorated.
For the inner walls of my box card I measured and cut out three pieces of white card measuring 11cm by 9.2cms. I scored each one downwards at 1cm and 8.2cms. Once folded I used double sided tape on one side of each piece and stuck them to the right inside part of my card blank. To fill my box I took six characters from A Nightmare Before Christmas - Jack, Sally, Oogie Boogie, Mayor, Devil Kid and Zero. I used my scissors to fussy cut them all out.
I then used my guillotine to cut out six strips of acetate. I used glue dots to secure one piece of acetate on to the back of each character. I used glue dots to secure the acetate strip on Jack and Sally to my first inner wall. I then used them to secure the acetate strip on Devil Kid and Mayor to my second inner wall and the acetate strip on Zero and Oogie Boogie on to my third inner wall.
I put double sided tape on to the other side of my inner walls and the tab on my card blank and stuck it all together (not as easy as it looks lol). I printed out 'Happy 19th Birthday Granddaughter' and cut it out. Then I matted it with purple card. I used glue dot to secure it on to the front flap of my card. To finish my box off I add two purple gems on to the back piece of my box and four on to the front flap of my card. That's it! I hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for looking!
