Learn how to assemble this simple little summer pop-up card!
1. Use your cutting machine or X-ACTO knife, along with my template, to cut out all of the pieces for your under the sea box card.
Note: If you are using the SVG files that includes the score lines, don’t forget to set them as such in Cricut Design Space and attach them to their shapes before sending them through your cutting machine. I used a lime green color to mark the score lines, so hopefully that helps! If you’re having trouble with the score lines, check out this video.
2. Start by layering the background waves pieces. Then, layer the turtle pieces onto the dark blue piece (I drew on the shell and face details by hand). Then layer the two coral pieces together, along with the seaweed pieces.
3. To assemble the card, start by folding the sides of the turtle and coral pieces backward and attaching them together.
Next, attach that whole section to the inside of the wave piece.
Finish by gluing the seaweed layer to the outside of the wave piece, and your card is complete!
It’s been a minute since I’ve designed a layered card like this. I always have so much fun when I do! But I especially loved making one with a summer theme. Summer is my favorite season, and it’s always nice to create something with a sunny summer flair.
I use Adobe Illustrator for all my designs, and a Cricut Maker to bring my creations to life. For tips on creating fun paper cuts like this one, see the FAQ section on my website. Also, be sure to check out the other fun freebies available on my blog!
Enjoy making this sweet little under the sea box card! I’d love to see your results, so be sure to share them with me by either tagging me on Instagram or by sharing your work in my Facebook Group.
