Now see how to make a pop-up box card of your own:

Directions

Step 1

Open your Ultimate Board up to the middle section – so you are working with the box side.Take your cardstock and line up along the butt of the board on the inches/box lid side. SCORE on the 5th line, Move your card along so the scored line is now on the butt and score the 5th line again.

Step 2

REPEAT this until you have 4 score lines in total – the last panel will be narrower (thats for your adhesive)

Step 3

Turn your cardstock, and score along the 5th line again, score the first 3 PANELS, and the last narrow panel, leave the 4th one unscored

Your card will look like this.

Step 4

Now take your cardstock and scissors – SNIP the score lines down to the middle, and cut away a piece of the narrow strip – make sure you cut these from the shortest half (you will see – from when you turned your card that one side is longer than the other)

Step 5

Burnish all your score lines and add Collall All-Purpose glue to the narrow strip.

Step 6

Construct your box and stick this to the inside.

Step 7

Next take a strip of paper and place it on your Ultimate board – you need to score along the 1st, 6th and 7th lines, cut along the 7th line, you will need to make TWO of these strips
