I am pretty sure this is my 19th link up to LeighSB's Christmas in July - I am trying to add something for each of the 24 days...

I don't know about you but I have been seeing lots of triple pop up box/cube cards online...
This is the you tube video I watched...Iced Images

Anyway as the box sides are 2.75 inches square I thought this would be excellent as a display item for ATCoins - as you know I often use ATCs or ATCoins as a feature on my cards e.g.


The first one is from years ago but you might remember the second from July 11th.

I started by taking a sheet of 12 by 12 and scoring it at 2.75, 5.5, 8.25 and 11 inches.


I then trimmed off half an inch at the right hand side and cut it into three strips of 5.5 inches and 2.75  inches (x 2). 


Having trimmed the corners off the end tags I folded all these into mountain folds and stuck them together...




Next step is to stick the boxes together and then it's decoration...


I added squares of paper from my scraps - this was ends from some Webster's Pages 'Today'.
As you can see the card will lie flat for an envelope - the pegs helped to take the photograph.



 The sentiment is placed on little tabs - a little tricky (suggest you watch the video!!)

Now time for the ATCoins... all these you have seen before...






I did have to find a couple extra...



In the Half-o-ween hop I made a collection of ATCs using  "Party" Balleigh Monster.

I had printed the image several times and I had a lot of that red stripy paper...



Anyway here's an ATCoin...


The one on the left was just a couple of die cuts I had on my desk...
Plenty of scattered twigs Distress Ink around the edges!





I will add this  to Leigh's Linky. 

I have just discovered The Build Your Stash Holiday Hop so I will add this card there!


Happy Crafting!

    I have not a clue how this is made after the initial boxes! The heat must have affected my brain! Your decoration is brilliant. Thank you for the link to the video because I really want to have a go at this x
