Come see how to make a colorful floral bouquet pop up box card by mixing several flower and foliage die sets.
This project is a floral bouquet pop up box card that our Associate Designer, Kittie, made from flowers that were left over from other projects. Kittie said, “I don’t know about you but I always have good intentions to save left over odds and ends and then usually forget all about them. All of these flowers were in a bowl on my desk so I decided to experiment by arranging them in a pop up box. I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to arrange them in a natural looking design or if they were going to look all crammed in the box. LOL! I love putting all the bright colors together in one project and I think they are really pretty paired with the bright yellow and white box.” We think this floral bouquet pop up box card is stunning and can’t wait to make one of our own!
The Box Base and Layers
- To make the box base I used the Square Pop Up Box Card.
- Use a bone folder to reinforce all the score lines.
- Cut the cardstock layering pieces.
- Cut the layering pieces.
- 2 5 5/8″ x 3 5/8″ layers
- 2 3 5/8″ x 2 3/4″ layers
- 4 1 7/8″ x 2 3/4″ layers
- Apply double stick tape to the back of all the layering pieces and attach to the inside back cover and flaps and the outside sections of the box.
- Apply double stick tape to the side insert flap, line the box sides up and attach the two ends together to form the box.
- Adhere double stick tape to the ends of three inner box tabs and insert them inside the box.
Decorate The Box
Use green cardstock to cut both types of foliage and set aside.
- Cut al the different flowers set using colored cardstock of your choice. I love using bright colors for the flowers. I don’t necessarily care if they go together on color wheel.
- Form the individual flowers using a molding pad and a round stylus.
- Assemble all the flowers section and attach them together with a good strong holding glue. I prefer Glossy Accents.
- Begin attaching flowers and foliage from the back and work forward so you can the different levels from front to back. Pro Tip: Some of the large foliage sections were attached to the back of the box before adding the flowers. Working forward I attached some of the flowers first and tucked the foliage around to fill in the bouquet.
