Matchbox pop-up card

Hello Everyone!

Today at the blog I am again with yet another Valentine's project.

A Matchbox pop-up card to express your love!!

If you wish to make one similar to this follow the steps given below.

To begin with

I took a Black cardstock (Approx. 7.5" x 3.5")
Score the paper at the intervals of 1/2", 3.5", 4", 7" (Basicallly dividing the paper as shown in the diagram)
Fold the papers at every interval and stick the ends to form the cover for the matchbox. (Sorry guys....I forgot to click pictures while making it...Please refer the hand-drawn instructions...hope they help :(....)

Cut a pattern paper a little smaller than the top size. Stick it on the top.
Take another cardstock approx. 4" x 4.5"
Score at 1/2" on all 4 sides.

Trim and fold up the sides and glue together to form a box.

Next take 3 strips of size 3" x 1/2" and score them in the centre.
Fold them in half and stick one end of each into the box. These become the stand for our pop-ups
Now cut hearts of different sizes and different patterned papers.

Arrange them on the stands inside the box.
Stick them randomly over one other (Make sure they all fit into the box with they are pushed down)
Stick a pop-up sentiment.

Insert this box into the cover we made earlier.
Decorate the top of the cover.
Tie a ribbon around the cover.
Stamp and cut a sentiment. Add a tiny heart.

There the Pop-up matchbox card is ready!!

Thank you for hopping over my blog.
Hope to see you soon.
Please leave your feedback in the comments below. I would love to read them through.
