Okay, hope you'll "bear" with me, because I have yet another version of
Colette's Sliding Pop Up Box card to share. The original inspiration for this card actually comes from a
"Push n Pull Card" I spied several months ago over at a very cool UK based digital cardmaking site,
Crafty Card Making. If you're ever in need of some quick inspiration, this is the place to visit...they have the neatest pop up, sliceform, easel and display cards for sale there, sure to rev up your mojo by at least a couple notches! I was so intrigued by their
"Push n Pull cards", and quite determined to try and figure out how they were put together. But it wasn't until recently when I learned how to put together the Sliding Pop Up Box card, that I came to realize this could actually be made into something very similar to the Push n Pull cards I liked so much.
I used the same box base as
Colette's Sliding Pop Up Box card but brought the sides of the box up higher, added tabs and had the Silhouette cut a window in the front corner. Pushing in on the tabs pops the box into shape and pulling on them flattens it. Kinda neat, huh.
The little teddy on the inside and the posies on the tabs were pieced together using a cutfile I created awhile ago using digital images from an old Darcie Hunter clipart CD and MTC.
And here's the card flattened, ready to slip into the envelope for giving. Still have one more of these cards to share next week...
