Use Lawn Fawn's Scalloped Box Card Pop-up Die to create this box of flowers



Create this box of flowers for decoration around the home or it folds flat so you can post it as a greeting card.

Use any flower dies you have and any coloured card to create a unique gift or greeting card for your recipient. 
 
This would make a lovely new home gift or card and also a thank you note. 

I have made one of these type of cards in my blog before - using cat stamps. If you missed it you can click here to open the blog page.  When you get the hang of gluing the box pieces together - you can decorate it however you wish.
 
Follow the below link to find out how the card/gift was made
 
You will need
  • Scalloped Box Card Pop-up Die by Lawn Fawn
  • Reveal wheel circle add on flower and sun die set by Lawn Fawn
  • Reveal wheel circle add on tulip die set by Lawn Fawn
  • 2 . 5 cm circle die
  • Purple patterned paper (I used a sheet from Frosted floral speciality Design series Paper by Stampin up)
  • Purple, white, yellow, pink, light green and dark green card
  • Happy Birthday white peel off
  • Glue and strong double sided tape
  • Die cutting machine

  1. From the purple card cut 2 scalloped box pieces from the die set and one internal divide piece
    Cut out 2 scalloped box pieces and one internal divder piece


  2. Cut 2 lots of the internal rectangles from the die set in purple patterned paper

  3. Glue the 2 sets of lower rectangles to scalloped box pieces (Be careful as the lower and upper rectangles are slightly different sizes - the upper ones are slightly shorter)
    Glue decorative rectangles to lower part of boxes


  4. Fold the top parts of the scalloped box pieces down and glue the remaining patterend rectangles to them
    Fold top part of box down and glue more decorative rectangles on

    Do the same to both box parts


  5. Fold along all crease lines of the box and internal divider pieces
    Fold along all score lines of box pieces and internal divider piece


  6. Put strong double sided tape on all tabs (Unofrtunately my double sided tape is red so it is difficult to see on the below photo's - but the box pieces both have 1 tab on the right hand edge and the internal divide piece has two tabs, one at each end)
    Put strong double sided tape on all tabs


  7. Join the two box pieces together at one tab (the photo below is the view of the inside of the box once they have been joined at the centre)
    Stick the two box pieces together at one tab only


  8. Stick one side of the internal divider piece centrally to one of the box insides as in the below photo:
    Stick one end of internal divider to box


  9. Lay the internal divider piece flat to the right and then fold half of the box over it. This will ensure the internal divider tab sticks to the right location within the box.
    Fold internal divider piece flat to the right

    Fold half of box ontop

    This will make sure the internal divider piece sticks in the right place


  10. Stick the remaining edge of the box together forming a cube
    Stick box together at other tab

    You now have a finished Scalloped pop-up box to decorate


  11. Your box is now ready to decorate. Using the reveal wheel flower parts, cut 3 daisy heads from white card, 2 tulip heads from pink card, 2 stems and 3 leaves from light green card, 3 stems and 2 leaves from dark green card. Using the 2 . 5 cm circle die cut 3 from yellow card (Please note in the photo, I cut 3 tulip flowers but later didn't use one of them)

It can still be folded flat for postage - just push the box slightly to one side and it will flatten.
The box folds flat so it can be put in an envelope and posted
