POP-UP BOX-CARD "HAPPY BIRTHDAY"

Send

A beautiful postcard can be made not only with the help of a luxurious and rich decor, but it can also be made unusually beautiful and thanks to its interesting shape. One of the interesting styles and varieties of complex postcards are the so-called volumetric postcards or they are also called Pop-up boxes, which complement the postcard with various volumetric elements in the form of clippings, flowers, butterflies, inscriptions, etc. Moreover, in terms of monetary policy, this decor is quite inexpensive, but it looks very beautiful and rich due to its volume. Such cards are nice to receive as a gift, and do them yourself. Now, if you were invited to a birthday, it will be very original to congratulate the birthday boy with such a voluminous postcard that will be made by oneself. At first glance, this seems to be a complicated card and it is very difficult to do it, but if you carefully follow the master class described below, you can safely make such a card yourself. The scheme in the master class is attached, so there should be no difficulties.
So, we begin and we take the following:
• Red cardboard A4 format, two sheets;
• Volumetric postcard scheme;
• Circles monophonic red and color;
• Different pictures with flowers, birds, flower baskets;
• Butterfly puncher and various sheets and scrap paper scraps;
• Cardboard cuts of different colors and sizes in the form of flowers, inscriptions;
• Latex roses red and white;
• Stamens with glitter pink;
• The stamped inscription "Happy Birthday";
• Satin pink ribbon with white hearts;
• Watercolor paper;
• Double-sided cattle and glue stick;
• Scissors, pencil, ruler;
• Glue gun.

So, we lay out the scheme and first cut off a large rectangle of 19 * 30 cm.

We completely transfer the scheme to the cardboard and make where necessary cuts, and where necessary we draw bending lines.

The base is ready, then it is folded like this into a postcard measuring 14 * 19 cm. Now we take a scrapbook paper and for each edge of the base we will cut out our scrapbook rectangle.

For the big side, cut out two 6.5 * 18.5 cm rectangles from two different papers. For the bottom of the postcard there are three rectangles 6.5 * 10.5 cm.

For the hanging sides, we cut out six rectangles of 6.5 * 7.5 cm. All parts are ready.

We glue part of the blanks directly to the base on double-sided tape.

The remaining six and circles will be decorated with pictures and inscriptions. We try on the pictures to the blanks like this. We tint the edges of all the elements with an ink pad.

We glue the circle onto the circle, then the picture and the inscription “Happy Birthday” and put all the other parts on double-sided tape. Now each element needs to be sewn with a typewriter.

Now the remaining blanks with pictures are glued to the base. We flash each part of the card separately.

Now on the diagram we look at the crossbar diagram and from the scrapbook paper we make three partitions. Glue the card along the side ponytail.

Glue the circle on top and glue the partitions with glue stick.

The card was fully assembled, now we will decorate. There are many different butterflies made of cardboard and scrapbook paper, or you can buy them ready if there is no hole punch.

We make a bouquet of roses with stamens, tie a bow from a ribbon. We glue cards on the partitions, and already on the cards we glue flowers, butterflies and various cardboard die cuts.
