Freedom birthday pop up box card kitCompleted by Peggy Stogdill

Printed on matte photo paper, and printed the extra background sheet on the back of the sheet with the box. The next time I make this, I'll reduce the size a bit so the envelope will be larger, for a little more "wiggle-room". In any case, as you construct the box, take care to check now and then that the folded box fits properly into the envelope!

I cut, scored and folded the box where indicated, then added layers to the outer box and flaps with silicone gel. I attached the four support bands across the top inside of the box with strong dst on the scored and folded tabs, then used good glue or tape to attach various pieces to the supports.

Punched a small hole in the sentiment tag and threaded it with butcher's twine so it could be hung around one of the elements in the design. Finished with a few additions of red glitter on some of the stars. Wonderful design, so fun to make!
