Directions for Perfectly Plaid Pop Up Cube Card:

Stamp 2 plaid trees on Pool Party paper in Pacific Point ink and then punch.
Die cut the Pacific Point label and white label. Stamp the sentiment on the right hand side of the white die cut and then adhere the white die cut to the Pacific Point label.
Add the Plaid tree to the label on a dimensional, ensuring the tree stump is not lower than the bottom of the Pacific Point label.
Lay the three 8.5″ pieces on your work surface. Crease all the folds in the same direction and crease with a bone folder.

Place a piece of Tear & Tape on the 1/2″ scored section on all three pieces, closer to the scored edge. Remove backing from the Tear & Tape.

Fold the opposite side over onto the adhesive, press to adhere. This should now form a cube shape. Repeat until all three pieces are cube shapes.

Place two pieces of Tear & Tape on one side of each of the small cubes. (Put tape on the side of the cube next to the seam–this way the seam will be toward back of card)

Flatten the tall rectangular cube (put the seam toward the side (versus front or back). Flatten one small cube and adhere it to the left side of the tall rectangular cube–lining it up with the center seam, the outside left edge, and the bottom edge. Adhesive should be near the bottom.

Repeat to the right side of that center seam on the tall rectangle cube and attach the second small cube on the right side of the flattened tall rectangular cube with the adhesive portion at the bottom.

Flatten the cubes and adhere the 1.5″ x 1.5″ square of designer series paper to the center of each square.

Lay out the four small scored tabs. Place 1/2″ piece of Tear N Tape to the left side of the score and a 1/2″ piece to the right side of the score. Fold on the score.

Pull off the backing pieces of the Tear & Tape and adhere two of them to the upper portion to the left and right of the center seam. This is where you will place your top greeting and bottom scene. Test where to place the tabs by holding up the label on top of the small cubes and eye where the center would be.

Add greeting to upper section. Assemble the scene and add to lower section.
Add bow to upper section and add faceted blue gems.
Adhere DSP to the top of slip-in white cardstock and stamp sentiment in Pacific Point. Crease on fold and slip-in to inside of tall cube.
