Fold Flat Box card- template and sample using He's all that stampset for Father's Day

 

What a fun card this is. There are a lot of videos on how to make this but not a template so I had to make it up and it is below 

take a cardstock- here I used Early Expresso.  

cut off 1" from the 11 inch side to make a 8 1/2 x 10 inch cardstock piece- save this 1" piece to use for the belly band.

Score the cardstock with 11' horizontal at 

2", 3 1/2", 6 1/2 " and 8"

make a mark on the 7 " at the very top and bottom of the 7" line to mark the center of the diagonal mark you will need to make.

turn 90 degrees with 8 1/2 inch horizontal and score at

1 1/2" and 7" 

Cut out the diagonal hatched marks- (the 4 corners but make sure you keep the 1/2 inch tabs on either side of the center  top and bottom panels since you will need them to tape them to make the box pop)

use the 7" mark to make the score the diagonal marks as shown on the top and bottom center panels.

I would recommend that you decorate the center of the box panel before you put the box together

I stamped the trees from Campology stamp set. I stamped the tent on a scrap piece of white cardstock and cut it out. I also took the happy Father's day and stamped it on the smallest of the Tailor made tags. You could stick a gift card and pop it up if you wanted and it would be super cool.

to make the pop out elements:

- to pop out 1/4 inches- take a 1/2' x 3 inches and score at 1" 1 1/4", 2 1/4' then 2 1/2 inch and put the ends together to make a rectangle piece you can use as a mechanism for a popout if you wish.

-  to pop out 1/2 inches -if you want it to pop out more you can take the 1/2"x 3 1/2" and score at 1", 1 1/2", 2 1/2" and 3"  to make it pop 1/2"  if you want more dimension.  

put tape on the bottom and the side you want to stick to side of the box - make sure it does not get in the way of the box closure though.

To put the box together, fold the top down then fol the angles up then put the tabs down and put the tape on the tabs facing you and when you close the card it will form the box.

same for the bottom center panel, fold it up, and then fold down the diagonals, then fold the tabs up then put tape the tab facing you and fold over the front panels to make the box. 

decorate the front panels with DSP  5 1/4 tall x 3 1/2 wide, cut in half to decorate the left and right side of the front panel. put the belly band on with the seam in the front and put some decorative element to hide the seam. Here I put the piece from He's all that diecut with the scalloped circle die that is really sweet
