3D Box Card Tutorial

Today I would like to share a tutorial for  a new way to use 3D images. The cards fold flat into a normal sized for easy posting.

3D Box Card Tutorial 

You will need

Card 10 ¾” x 6”

Acetate 5”x3 ½”

3d image

Stickers

Score Board

I have used Hearty Crafts 3D paper Tole from Blue Edge Crafts and stickers from Sticker Store

Score the card from the left side at ¾”, 1 ¼”, 1 ¾”, 5 ¾”, 6 ¼”,6 ¾”

Burnish all the folds well.

Fold the score lines in the following way from the left.

Mountain, valley, mountain and the next score lines in the same way. 

Cut a 4 1/4”x 3” aperture in the first large section of the card ( see photo)

I cut mine with Spellbinders Matting Basics

Attach acetate to the inside of the opening using double sided tape 

                    Construct the  3D image and decide what type of background you would like.

I have used a Spellbinders die but you could add patterned paper or an embossed panel or just leave the background plain. 

Glue the image to the plain panel and then glue the card together using the first tab on the left.

Flatten the card down. It will fit into a normal sized envelope.

Decorate the front with stickers and a greeting.
