Please see all instructions and products used below:
- To start with I have made my pop up box base on an A4 piece of paper I have measured out a guide to create the box - here are the dimensions
- I have used this template to create two of these on 300gsm cardstock. I have cut and scored where appropriate then used the flaps to adhere the two panels together. Once I had the basic box, I then created three card pieces to slot inside the box to add the support.
- Next I have downloaded and printed out all the elements from the Polkadoodles website I have used Miss USA, Fries, Burger, Fried chicken, Starfish Sandcastles characters I have coloured all the images using my Promarkers and Chameleon colour tone pens and fussy cut them out.
- I have then decorated the outside of the pop up box, to do this I have used red and blue card creating mats and layers to go on the out side panels, I have then used a star shaped die and cut this out using my cutting machine and white card stock and adhered to the front panel of the box.
- For the flap panels I have matted them with the red card then used another background star die cutting this out in the blue card and matting onto a white card stock piece I glued all these panels on to the outside flaps of the box using wet glue.
- To create some support for the pop up elements I have used the same background star die in red and backed in white card and attached them to each of the support sections inside the box.
- To add the characters and elements I have used strips of acetate, I have used red liner tape to add the elements and used the tape again to attach the acetate to the inside of the box.
- To fill out some of the space I have added some additional elements, I have used my heart and star shaped dies and some Digi papers from Polkadoodles
Products used:
- Red and Blue card stock card stock pad
- All the characters and Digi stamps available on the website
- Star, background and heart dies are all from Hunkydory
- coloured markers used are/:
Chameleon colour tone pens - BV4 Blue violet, BL6 Royal blue, RD4 Crimson red, GR3 grass, PK3 Bubble-gum BR5 bark, BR2 Cocoa
