Pop Up Work Bench - Father's Day Card

Happy Friday friends!

Kris here with an easy-to-make Pop Up Work Bench card for Father's Day! 

I am Guest Designing for the Color Challenge at SplitcoastStampers 

and this week's color combo CC998 is 

Boho Blue
Calypso Coral
Pecan Pie

PRODUCTS I USED:

Dad's Tools Die 

Happy Father's Day Phrase Die 

Stitched Rectangles Set

OTHER PRODUCTS & SUPPLIES:

SU! Trusty Tools paper (Grid paper)

La-La Land Crafts Wood Planks Background Stamp (retired) *Optional

Piercing Tool and mat

Black enamel dots

Foam dots

Glue

CUTTING & SCORING:

White Cardstock

 4" x 2-1/2" ( you can use polka dot paper that looks like peg board for this piece)

5-1/4" x 4"

Boho Blue Cardstock

11" x 4-1/4" - score at 5-1/4"

Pecan Pie Cardstock (OR wood patterned paper)

7-1/4" x 4" - score at 1/2", 2-1/2", 5-1/4"

1.  I die cut the tools from brushed silver cardstock, as well as coral, blue and white.  I colored the measuring tape strip yellow and the paintbrush bristles tan.  I left the paint can label white.  Then I glued some of the coral and blue handles to the silver parts.

2.  I die cut Happy Father's Day from coral and blue.  I then cut the "Father's" from the blue and glued on top of the coral layer.

3.  Next, I die cut the 4th smallest Stitched Rectangle from the Pecan Pie panel in the center, aligning it with the 5-1/4" score line as pictured above.  

4.  From the piece that is cut out, I die cut (2) of the smallest Stitched Rectangles 

5.  I stamped the wood plank bg stamp onto the Pecan Pie layer (do not need to stamp the bottom part) and the 2 small rectangles. 

6.  Flip Pecan layer over and add tape or glue to the larger end (opposite the 1/2" flap) and adhere just up to the score line of blue card base as shown above.  

7.  Fold the Pecan layer up as shown above and add double sided tape to the 1/2" flap.  Remove backing.  Then fold the TOP blue panel down onto the base.  When you open card it should look like the next photo. 

8.  Add foam dots to the back of "drawers" and adhere to front of table as shown above.  Add enamel dots for handles. 

That's it for the pop up feature!!  ☺

Now on to the decorating...

9.  For my peg board, I used an older piercing guide to poke holes into the  4" x 2-1/2" piece of white cardstock.  

*You could also use some polka dot paper, or create your own polka-dots with a marker, or use a peg board die for this if you have one.  

10.  I used foam dots on the back and adhered to the inside top portion of card and glued my tools onto it.  

**This next part is optional, but it was bugging me to have the part under the desk the same brown color, so I decided to cover it up with a white panel.  

11.  With the 4" x 5-1/4" white cardstock, measure down 1-7/8" on left and right edges and in 3/4" from each side.  

12.  Cut narrow slits from the 1-7/8" mark to the 3/4" on each edge as shown above.

13.  Apply tape or glue to back of panel and carefully slide under table.  

*NOTE:  I put down a waxy sheet so tape won't stick to card base before I'm ready to position it. 

14.  I die cut the grid paper with the 3rd smallest Stitched Rectangle die and adhered to table top.  I added measuring tape and a silver nail to grid paper.  

15.  I added tiny foam dots to the left side of paint bucket and adhered to table leg, then I glued the Happy Father's Day phrase to lower portion of base.  

DONE!  ☺ 

With the change of sentiment, this can also be great for a birthday card, a thank you, or a card for your female tool-loving friends!
