Valentine's Day Contest: Pop up card (with surprise box) (ESP/ENG) ❤️

in #hive-1305602 years ago
Hello, creative community of Hive! ❤️ Today I decided to participate in the Valentine's Day contest proposed by this community and I bring you part of the gift I made for my boyfriend for this special date for both of us.

Among the details I gave him, I wanted to make him something special that involved our children (the cats), because they are also part of our life and I know they are very important to him. I made this folding card with materials I already had at home and it didn't take me a lot of time. I hope you like it a lot!

Hola, comunidad creativa de Hive! ❤️ Hoy he decidido participar en el concurso de San Valentín propuesto por esta comunidad y les traigo parte del regalo que le hice a mi novio para esta fecha especial para ambos.

Entre los detalles que le di, quise hacerle algo especial que involucrara a nuestros hijos (los gatos), pues ellos también hacen parte de nuestra vida y se que son muy importantes para el. Esta tarjeta plegable la hice con materiales que ya tenía en casa y no me tomó realmente mucho tiempo. Espero les guste mucho!

PASOS / STEPS

To begin, I traced the mold on the watercolor paper (you can use cardboard) with the help of the ruler. I used this type of paper because the mold must be made on a thick paper, because if you do it on a normal sheet of paper, it will not work and it is very likely to break when you fold it and shape it.

Here it is, with the corresponding measurements:

Para empezar, tracé el molde en el papel para acuarela (ustedes pueden usar cartulina) con la ayuda de la regla. Usé este tipo de papel debido a que el molde debe hacerse en un papel grueso, ya que si lo hacen en una hoja de papel normal, no funcionara y es muy probable que se rompa al momento de doblarlo y darle forma.

Aquí se lo dejo, con las medidas correspondientes:

The next step to be done is to trim everything in this way:

El siguiente paso que se debe hacer es recortar todo de esta manera:

After cutting it out, comes the fun part which is folding it all together to form the box.

To shape it into a box, we must fold the 4 cm squares along the guide lines, forming a kind of hollow square, which should look like this:

Luego de recortarlo, viene la parte divertida la cual es doblar todo para formar la cajita.

Para darle forma de caja, debemos doblar los cuadros de 4 cm por las líneas guía, formando una especie de cuadrado hueco, el cual debe quedar de la siguiente forma:

An important thing to know is that the top of the card should not be glued, because the idea is to show an open box when the card is unfolded.

The bottom part will not be glued to the box either, since it will be glued directly to the card in this way:

Algo importante que debe saber, es que no deben pegar la parte de arriba, porque la idea es que se vea una cajita abierta cuando se despliegue la tarjeta.

La parte de abajo tampoco la pegaremos a la caja, ya que esta irá pegada a la tarjeta directamente, de esta forma:

LOKI & AZABACHE

The card is almost ready, but it still needs to be decorated, and for this, I obviously included my cats.

The first thing I did was a simple pencil sketch of each one of them; one of their faces and others of their whole bodies, because I didn't know exactly how they would look better in the box.

Ya prácticamente la tarjeta esta lista, pero aún falta decorarla, y para esto, obviamente incluí a mis gatos.

Lo primero que hice, fue un boceto sencillo a lápiz de cada uno de ellos; uno de sus caritas y otros de sus cuerpos completos, pues la verdad no sabía exactamente como se verían mejor en la caja.

After that, I painted them with watercolor and cut them out.

Note: Loki is yellow with white and Azabache is black.

Luego de esto, los pinté con acuarela y los recorté.

Nota: Loki es el amarillo con blanco y Azabache es el negro.

After cutting everything out, it was time to glue them into the box. Here I started to see which of the two drawings I had made of each one looked better.

I really wanted to simulate that the cats were hidden in the box and that when I opened the card they would pop their heads out, so for obvious reasons I decided to glue only the heads.

The other two full body drawings were also given separately.

Después de recortar todo, era momento de pegarlos en la caja. Aquí empecé a ver cual de los dos dibujos que había hecho de cada uno quedaba mejor.

Realmente quería simular como que los gatos estaban escondidos en la caja y que al momento de abrir la tarjeta estos sacarían su cabecita, así que por obvias razones decidí pegar solo las cabezas.

Los otros dos dibujo de cuerpo completo también fueron obsequiados por aparte.

I also added a sign that says "We love you", which I made with light blue and pink markers.

También agregué un letrero que dice "Te amamos", el cual hice con marcadores color celeste y rosado.

And that's it! That was pretty much all I did inside the box. I really liked the result and so did he c:

Regarding the outside I added the phrase "Hi daddy", because it was supposed to be a gift from the cats for him haha.

Y listo! Eso fue prácticamente todo lo que hice al interior de la caja. A mi me gustó mucho el resultado y a el también c:

Con respecto a la parte de afuera le añadí la frase "Hola papi", porque se suponía era un regalo de los gatos para el jaja.

I hope you liked it a lot! Thanks for reading and watching 😍

Espero les haya gustado mucho! Gracias por leerme y observar😍
