Disney Pixar Blog Hop - June 14th - Donald Duck Pop-up Card

Welcome to the Disney Pixar Blog Hop!

If you love Disney Pixar and crafting, you came to the right place!  We have an entire month of fun planned for you, with a new group of crafting bloggers every Saturday in June.

Did you enjoy all of the projects from last week?  If you missed LAST weekend's line up, click HERE to go back and see all of those projects too!

I wanted to make a Donald Duck birthday card for my daughter, but I have already done ones in the past with many of the different Cricut Donald Duck images and I wanted something different.  That is when I thought I would try the pop up box cards I have been seeing so many people making.  I have to admit, I was a little bit nervous about doing this.  I figured that it was going to be REALLY complicated.  I reached out to my friend Ellen and she shared a template she had.  You can click HERE to see it on her blog.

I cut the whole box out of a bright blue . . . and it was really easy to make!  Seriously, I am going to have to try these box cards again!

I cut a Donald Duck out of a silver paper I had using the Mickey and Friends Cricut cartridge.  I really like the shiny quality and the reflection off of Donald.

For each of the flaps I cut some white paper with a point at one end, and some yellow strips of paper to look like Donald's shirt.  Then I just cut a red bow for the point.

Then I cut several balloons in different sizes and attached them on to some dark gray strips of paper.  I arranged them at different heights, attaching them to a piece of tape.  Then once I had them arranged how I wanted them I just stuck the piece of tape to the "strut" piece of paper that goes across the card.  This really made positioning the balloons easy.  I would NOT have wanted to glue each one of those on one at a time and try to arrange them at varying heights.

I added some blue paper with swirls to the bottom half of the outside of the box, and a red dot paper for the background behind the balloons.

I think it turned out pretty cute for my first pop up box card!
