Hi everyone, Eloise here and today I have a card to share with you all using the Fly A Kite Stamp Set along with showing you how to create your own pop-up box card.

Watch the video above  I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube

To begin my card I first started off with my images. I coloured these a while ago and just used them now for a card. I used Copic Markers to colour them in and then used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Once my images are ready I can begin to work on my box card.

Making these box cards are actually surprisingly easy. I first pulled a piece of blue cardstock and cut down two pieces to 5 ¼” wide and 4 ¼” tall. Out of the same blue cardstock I also cut three pieces down to 3 ½” wide and 1” tall. Once they were all cut down I could score them. For each 5 ¼” x 4 ¼” pieces I scored them at 2” and 5” on the long side, then I turned my piece 90 degrees in my scoring tool, to the short side and then scored at 2 ¼”. I repeated this step for both pieces. Then for each of the three pieces I cut, I scored each end at ¼”. So, score at ¼”, rotate 180 degrees, score at ¼” again. Once all my pieces were cut, I took them to my paper trimmer and cut down the 2” score line to the horizontal score line, and the same at the 5” score line. Then I rotated my piece 90 degrees again and cut up from the bottom to the 5” score line, cutting on the horizontal score line, just to remove the over hang. I did this to both pieces.

Now it was time to assemble the box card. I folded along all the score lines and then added a strip of adhesive on one of the flaps and adhered it to the other side of the box card. I then added strips of adhesive on each of the three long pieces and adhered one side into my card. I them removed the backers from the other side and closed the box card on top of them, this adhered both sides of the middle pieces to the inside of my box card. Then on the last flap, I added more tape and adhered that inside too. Now my box card was all ready to go.

First up I die cut down a white cardstock piece using the Stitched Borders 1 Dies and I used the little scalloped edge as a border and adhered that to the background of my box card, to make it look like white clouds. I then added strips of acetate onto the back of three of my previously stamped, coloured and die cut kites and then adhered the strings on the bottom of each too and adhered them into the middle of my card. I also adhered some clouds and a sun to the background of my card flat.

Now my images were adhered, I laid my card down flat and adhered another cloud and also stamped the sentiment ‘Let Your Dreams Soar’ in black ink onto the front of my card. At this stage my card was missing a little something so I used the same Stitched Borders 1 Dies and cut down two more small strips of white cardstock with the scalloped border and adhered those onto both side flaps of my card to finish it up completely.

I loved making this card today and I hope you enjoyed the DIY tutorial on how to make a box card without a die. Thanks so much for stopping by and I’ll catch you next time!
