ALTERED BOOK BOX

 

I purchased a cardboard box at The Dollar Tree that opened up like a book.  So I simply turned it on it's side and made it into a box.  It measures  5" x  7" with a  2 1/2" spine.  I made templates in Photoshop Elements to fit the top, bottom and spine.  I covered them with a wild print that I found on the internet.  

This is the spine of the 'book box'.  Sentiment was attached with pop up dots.  As you can see I attached round black beads to the bottom as feet.

Here's a close up of the top.  The birds are double sided cardstock images cut out with my Scan-n-Cut.  They are placed in and around a grouping of real rocks.  The greenery is made up of various dies.

TWIST-N-FOLD POP UP CARD

 

I created this Twist-n-Fold Pop Up Card with directions by Charee at Graphic 45.  You can find her tutorial HERE.

This is what the card looks like opened up.  It measures about  4 1/4" x  11"  fully extended.

I made templates using their measurements in  Photoshop.  I used a digital kit called 'Mischief Is My Name' by Karen Schulz for background papers and images.   You can find that kit HERE.

Then I cut everything out and put it together following Charee's tutorial.

Here's the back of the card.
