Today I’m sharing a flower pop up box card made using dies by Rubbernecker Stamps. The main focus of the card is the new Cart and Cart Accessories #1 and are paired with several flower themed die sets listed below. I questioned whether I should post this card as I had a very difficult time getting good pictures. I took a few close up clear views to show off the different sections. I used the Square Pop Up Box Card Kit by The Paper Cut and Carta Bella Flower Market paper pad.
The Box Base and Layers
- Use the bone folder to reinforce all the score lines .
- Cut the designer paper layering pieces.
- Apply double stick tape to the back of all the layering pieces and attach to the inside back cover and flaps and the outside sections of the box sections.
- Apply double stick tape to the side insert flap, line the box sides up and attach the two ends together to form the box.
- Cut deckle hill sections to fit the three flaps and attach with double stick tape.
- Cut deckle hill insert sections using green cardstock. Cut and score both ends at 1/2″ in.
- Fold the deckle hill insert tabs, apply double stick tape to each tab and insert the tabs to the inside of the box.
- Note: The kit comes with three inserts for each box. I used five deckle hill strips instead of three to create a fuller looking grass are in the opening.
The Flower Cart
- Cut the flower cart using woodgrain cardstock and the awning using pink and white cardstock.
- Attach the white awning sections to the pink base using glossy accents.
- Assemble the cart parts and attach using glossy accents. (the detail parts of the cart are hidden by the larger pots of flowers)
- Apply mounting tape to the cart and awning and attach to the back layer of the pop up box card.
- Apply Vintage Photo ink to the cart using a mini applicator.
The Flowers, Pots and Garden Cart
- Cut the cart accessories parts and color using markers, distress inks and mini applicators.
- Assemble the accessory parts and attach to the cart using glossy accents.
- Cut and assemble the garden cart , attach using glossy accents and apply Vintage Photo ink with a mini applicator.
- Use pink and yellow cardstock to cut the tulips.
- Apply Wild Honey ink to the yellow tulips and Worn Lipstick ink to the pink tulips using mini applicators and attach the flowers to the stems using glossy accents.
- Use gray cardstock to cut the bucket and color using Wild Honey and Rusty Hinge ink and mini applicators.
- Cut flowers using light pink, bright pink and white cardstock.
- Apply Worn Lipstick and Wild Honey ink to the center of the larger flowers using mini applicators.
- Form the flowers using a stylus and molding pad.
- Cut several small ivy and leaf group sections.
Assemble the Flower Pop Up Box Card
- Arrange and attach the flowers in the bucket and flower pots using glossy accents.
- Attach tulip bucket to the side flap using mounting tape and attach a few stems to the grass using glossy accents.
- Attach flower pots to the garden cart using glossy accents and attach the cart to the front flap using mounting tape.
- Attach the garden boots to the flap using mounting tape.
- Tuck an ivy and flower section in behind the grass and attach using glossy accents.
- Attach the tulip stems to the back of the flower pot using glossy accents.
- Use mounting tape to attach the tulip pot to the side flap.
- Tuck an ivy flower section behind the grass and attach using glossy accents.
- Finish the card by attaching ivy and flower sections on both sides of the deckle hill sections in the box area to create the appearance of a path back to the garden cart.
I’m sorry the photos of my flower pop up box card aren’t more clear. I had a great time designing this card and putting all the pieces together and I’m a little disappointed that the photos don’t do the project justice. I’m sure it would help if I would go and take a photography class. LOL! If you would like more flower card inspiration you can check out my Pinterest Flower Card board. Thanks for coming by and I hope you have a great weekend.

Kittie, this is by far one of your most amazing cards to date. Your designs are fantastic. You must dream in color, and your patience with all the tiny embellishments can’t be duplicated. I love your posts and look forward to seeing more of your magic.
