Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here again. I am sharing My Rubik’s Cube Card that I sent to a teenage who has a collection of Rubik’s Cubes. I saw this fun pop-up card that a fellow demonstrator/friend, Laura Seki, made and thought I would use the pop-up mechanism but make the card my own by using some digital papers that I found online.
The Details of My Rubik’s Cube Card
For my card, I found a Rubik’s Cube party invite on Etsy, but I only wanted some of the graphic elements. So, I pulled it into Canva and deleted all the text from the invite. Then I scaled it to the size I wanted and printed 2 copies. I also printed out a scaled down colourful background to use for the front and for the inside.
Next, I used my paper trimmer to trim the colourful border off the invite. This I layered onto the colourful background. For the final print out, I used my paper snips to trim around the exploding Rubik’s cubes. These were popped up with Black dimensionals.
All this was layered onto a Blueberry Bushel mat and then onto the Basic Black card front.
To decorate the front, I added the name of the teenager in similar colours to the Rubik’s Cube in the print outs. These were popped up with Foam Adhesive Sheets.
The sentiment was stamped in Black and die cut out using the largest flag from the Stylished Shapes Dies. One end was snipped down, and the other end was tucked under the top Cube.
The finishing touch was to add a scattering of matching coloured rhinestones.
Inside of My Rubik’s Cube Card
For the inside, I used the directions that Laura showed on her Facebook Group Page to create my Cube. I included the measurements for the scoring below. Next, I added my squares to the cube positioning them as best I could to create a mixed-up cube instead of a solved one. So, I had lots of coloured squares to add. Lol! I added adhesive to the top and bottom section to secure it to the card.
Then I stamped the sentiment and punched it out. I layered it on a piece of colourful background with a Blueberry Bushel mat at the top of the card.
For the bottom of the card, I used my computer to create a custom sentiment with one of the cube graphics.
