Sharon It With You: Hexagon Pop Up Box card video tutorial including pictures

Hello,

I had a wonderful weekend with some of my fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrators and April Sundong taught me how to make this awesome card so I could help out members of the audience while she was demonstrating the process.

How awesome is this box?

Here it is in action and it fits into an A2 envelope. You can add another matching cardstock (4-1/4" X 5-1/2") with a piece of Basic White cardstock on top to stamp or adhere some die cuts to write your special message.

Here is the video tutorial and below the video are the step by step instructions, if you prefer pictures instead.

I love the fact that you can make this card using one sheet of 8-1/2" X 11" cardstock and a strip of DSP.

Here are the pieces you need to make this special card.

First, you score the cardstock as shown below.

Then , you turn it 90 degrees and cut it in half at 3-3/4" These will make both halves of the box.

Fold along the score lines as shown, all are mountain folds except the third one.

Then, mark 1" from both sides, left and right, on both first score lines on the top and bottom.

Hold the cardstock like this

Cut from the fifth score line to the mark you made on both sides and repeat on the other side.

Then, flip it over to the bottom and fold along the first score.

And cut from the second score line to the mark.

This is what it will look like, and repeat on the other side.

Now, the entire piece will look like this, repeat on the second piece of cardstock so you have 2 of these.

Fold the first half like this and turn it over.

Glue the stabilizer with the unscored side under the second score line, then place glue on the tab and fold up the bottom

This is how it looks when glued all together. It's half of your box done. Repeat on the second piece.

Now you have two pieces, place them like this, facing each other.

Only glue the bottom of the inside, this will create your pocket to insert the directions.

Hold it together as the glue dries.

For the collars, score as shown below.

Then cut in half at 1-3/4" to make 2 collars.

Fold along the score lines.

Glue the bottom of second box of the collar onto the bottom tab

And fold the top tab down and hold the card closed.

Then, flip it over and glue the second collar onto the second piece.

You'll have this:

And here is the side view.

Put glue onto the tabs of the collars.

And close the card.

That's it! You now have a Hexagon box card!

I couldn't stop making the box cards.

Cut out your desired die cuts and adhere them to 1/2" strips of window sheets with glue dots and make sure that as you fold the card, the die cuts don't go more than 1 " above the card.
