Today I am sharing a pop up card called a layered cube card.
This card folds flat to fit into an envelope.
To decorate my card I have used a digital download collection from The Crafty Witches called Deco Devine.
Here is a tutorial on how I created this card.
A4 White Card
The Crafty Witches – Deco Devine Digital Download Collection
Black Card
Circle Dies
Glue / Double Sided Tape
Print sheet one, four, the bow sheet, one insert and then three papers from the paper collection.
Card Base:
From white card cut a piece measuring 18 cms by 19 cms.
Score at 4.5 cms, 9 cms, 13.5 cms and 18 cms.
From white card cut three pieces measuring 13.5 cms by 19 cms.
Score each piece at 4.5 cms, 9 cms, 13.5 cms and 18 cms.
From white card cut two pieces measuring 9 cms by 19 cms.
Score each piece at 4.5 cms, 9 cms, 13.5 cms and 18 cms.
From white card cut two pieces measuring 4.5 cms by 19 cms.
Score each piece at 4.5 cms, 9 cms, 13.5 cms and 18 cms.
Next attach each together to form cubes.
Once attached together your card will form this shape.
You can attach all the cubes together and then decorate but I have found it easier to decorate first.
