Building Block Card

Building Block Card

by Laura Lipe


Make your card's message pop up on dimensional blocks.

Supplies

  • 5.5” x 10.5” card base
  • Coordinating cardstock or designer paper as desired to decorate card panels
  • Paper trimmer
  • Scoring tool
  • Adhesive
  • Alphabet stamps or dies, and other embellishments to decorate card

Step-by-Step

  1. Step 1

    Score the 5.5” x 10.5” cardstock at 3.5” and 7” on the long edge.

  2. Fold these as a mountain fold and a valley fold.
  3. Step 2

    Close the valley fold, and cut in 1.5” along the fold at these intervals: 3/8”, 1 3/8”, 1 5/8”, 2 5/8”, 2 7/8”, 3 7/8”, 4 1/8”, and 5 1/8”.


  4. Step 3

    Score at the end of the cuts on the 1” slits so these can fold up with mountain folds. Leave the ¼” slits as valley folds.
  5. Step 4

    Secure the score lines.

    Decorate the front and inside panels. (The front panel measures 3.5" x 5.5". The panels on either side of the blocks are 2" x 5.5". Each block panel measures 1"x 1.5".)

    Note:
    You may choose to back the card with a slightly larger piece of coordinating cardstock.
  6. Step 5

    Complete the project.
