My tip: use chipboard or other heavy embellishments on your three flaps you want to stay open to keep them open.

Tip: Go around the edges of your die cuts with a brush tip marker. It gives them a more finished look, especially if you hand cut them.




Tip: Mat your patterned paper. It gives the whole box card a more finished look.

Tip: Check out different You Tube videos, like the one featured for this challenge, to adjust sizes for your box card. You can even do a horizontal one.

TiP:  Add borders to your strips that hold up your pop ups.

Tip: Don't be afraid to give this card a try.  It is so much easier than it looks and SO much fun!

  Tip: You don't necessarily have to use the entire stamped image on a project, try cutting  or punching out the main image it can give a totally different perspective and look to a project!

Building Block Graduation Card

Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8 ...
