Daisy Lane Pop-up Box: Free Step by Step Tutorial

Daisy Lane Pop-up Box

Daisy Lane Pop-up Box Introduction

Hello Paper Crafters!! I have a really fun project for you today. Have you heard of a pop-up box? It’s a box filled with flowers or cakes & balloons or sweet baby items or whatever your heart desires and it folds flat so you can mail it in an envelope. (It will fit in a 6″ x 9″ envelope just make sure that the flowers do not extend more than 2″ above the top edge of the box.) Genius! Really, I think this is an amazing project that is very simple to construct, especially when you use the Mini Shipping Box. I’ve broken down the steps, to make the Daisy Lane Pop-up Box, so it is very easy.

Daisy Lane Pop-up Box

Here’s a cute pop-up box I made for my niece’s baby shower.

I used Window Sheets (142314) for my strips to attach the various pieces instead of card stock and they are virtually invisible.

The Project: Daisy Lane Pop-up Box

Daisy Lane Pop-up Box

Step 1:

Stamp your images.

Daisy Lane SS: Stamp 6 medium daisies with Crushed Curry ink on Whisper White CS and 7 ferns with Garden Green ink on Garden Green CS.
Floral Essence SS: Stamp 8 three petal flowers with Pumpkin Pie ink on Whisper White CS.
Rooted in Nature SS: Stamp 5 three leaf branches & 5 multi-leaf branches with Granny Apple Green ink on Granny Apple CS.
Dandelion Wishes SS: Stamp the sentiment onto Whisper White CS with Garden Green ink.

Step 2:

Cut your pieces.

Use the appropriate punches to cut out the flower petals. Then use the dies to cut out the leaves. The ferns need to be fussy cut (Cut out by hand with the paper snips).
Crumb Cake CS: 11 ½” x 2” & 2” x 6” and emboss with basket weave 3D folder, cut 3 pieces 5” x ¾”, score ½” from each end, cut multiple strips ¼” x 8 ½”. Tip: When embossing place each piece of CS place it along the same line so that they line up. To emboss the longer piece, place the CS in as far as it will go. Turn the CS and line up the embossing so that they match.
Cut multiple slivers (to simulate grass) of Garden Green CS & Granny Apple Green CS then use your paper snips to curl the ends.
Sentiment: Use 1 ⁷/₈” circle to cut out sentiment. Cut 2 ¼” scallop circle in Crushed Curry CS.

Step 3:

Assemble pieces.

Assemble flowers with glue dots.
Attach a leaf/fern to the back of each flower with a glue dot.
Place a faceted gem in the center of each daisy and a floral center in each of the 6 petal flowers.
Use glue dots to attach the Crumb Cake strips to the flowers.
Use Tear & Tape to attach the Crumb Cake strips (5” x ¾”) to the inside of the box, evenly spaced and about ¾” from the top of the box.
Glue the sentiment to the scallop circle.

Step 4:

Putting it all together.

Attach 2 different leaves and a fern to the front edge of the box.

Attach the flowers to the inside of the box, trimming the stems to create different heights.
Fill in around the flowers with the extra leaves/ferns.

Front Layer

Middle Layer

Back Layer

Attach the blades of grass with glue dots. I attached most of them to the sides of the box.

Wrapped the longer basket weave embossed strip around the front and sides of the box. Trim so that there is approximately a ½” tab folding onto the back side. Use Tear & Tape to glue the 4” strip to the tabs on the back of the box.
Use Dimensionals to glue the sentment to the front of the box.
