Hunkydory In the Garden POP BOX fold card 

 

To make this card you will need:

Hunkydory in the Garden members gift from Create and Craft. 

A4 Card blank (i used Ivory Hammer)

a smaller piece of card stock 33/4 by 3" for inside.

Wet Glue

Something to score the card with (scoreboard, Cutting machine with scoring tool or ruler and embossing tool).

Double sided Tape (optional you can use the Glue)

Coordinating Gems (again optional)

a shaped die for the Aperture (or cutting blade)

i also used a die to cut 2 small trees in pops but you can omit these or use something else the goes with the garden theme.  

Firstly trim the A4 card to 11" by 81/4" and Cut in half along the short side to make 2 11" by 41/8 card blanks. 

Score 1 of the card blanks at 51/2 and the other at 23/4, 51/2 and 81/4. fold at the scorelines to make a mountain, valley, mountain fold like the picture below.

This is where you will need to cut the apertures, leaving approx. 3/4" to 1" at the bottom to hide the strips. now score the 33/4" card @ 1/2 at each side and trim strips at 3/4" to make 4 strips. 

  

On the Base with only one fold make a small pencil mark at 23/4 and position the first strip just behind and the other equally spaced as in picture. Use wet glue but use sparely as less glue will dry quicker and will give a better hold. 

 Glue only one side of the top card down and position the tabs facing up, before attaching to the strips make sure they are all evenly spaced with no overlap. if the strips overlap trim excess. and when satisfied with strip position glue the other side in position

 At this stage cut a 3/4" decorative border strip from the Garden card stock and attach to the front with double sided tape. (you can also use wet glue but i found the tape held better).

 

 

Decorate the card with other elements from the kit and add any Gems, Bows or other embellishments. On my card i used a large topper on the front and a frame to section off a area to add a sentiment. 

 To finish off the look i used a small potted tree die and some card from the kit. The die is a Sheena Douglas Landscape Die part of the Cottage set.

I am sure now that you know the basics you will come up with numerous themes and adaptations to this card style, Have fun    

I will be using this card for my Demo this week so let me know how you get on if you decide to try it for yourself. i have used the Hunkydory kit the Create and Craft was giving as a members gift, don't worry if you didn't get the kit for free you can still purchase this  on the site while stocks last. the idea came from Maymay https://youtu.be/JIjePeW_uDo loved it so much i just had to have a go.
