Hello everyone Jackie here today. I thought I would do a tutorial on the pop up aga card as it did seem to be quite popular. I have included quite a lot of steps in hope that you can understand the process, so let’s get started.
Step One:
Die cut four cooker pieces and glue two pieces together. trim the other two die cuts at the embossed line shown on the photo below and glue the two smaller leg parts together. Doubling up like this makes the end project most sturdy.
Step Two:
Trim a panel measuring 10.5 x 2″ then score at 1/2, 3.5, 5.5, and 8.5. as shown in the photo below.
Step Three:
Fold up the panel at the score lines and glue at the 1/2 ” tab to create a square shape.
Step Four:
Die cut the tiled back piece into white card then again into black card. fussy cut out the tiles from the black piece and glue onto the white tiled panel.
Step Five:
Trim another blue panel measuring 4 x 3″ glue the black and white tiled piece to one end then fix the other end inside the prepared cooker base.
Step Six:
Next create the inner sections. Trim two strips of blue card approximately 5 x 1″ then fold each end at approximately 1/2″ in the opposite directions creating a Z shape. Tip: you will need to try the strip up against the cooker base to see if it fits correctly. Once the Z strips are in place fold the cooker base in each direction to make sure it folds flat easily.
Step Seven:
Glue the cooker front in place followed by the back legs, wiggle these in place whilst the glue is still wet.
Step Eight:
To make the cooker hobs, die cut four of the snow Christmas tree parts from the die set – sweater season 1997.
Step Nine:
Die cut the Santa sack from die set 1990 Santa Clause, die cut two of the sack handles and one sack, ink the pieces up with brown ink then build into a turkey shape as shown in the photo. Fix a tiny Z of folded card the very bottom of the turkey and use this to attach the turkey to the cooker.
Step Ten:
Glue all the remaining pieces in place, here you can add whatever you like from the other sets. I have added the cake from set – let’s bake 1994.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and that I have inspired you to have a go at making a 3d Aga, you could also use this technic with other dies in the ECD collection.
Happy crafting – Jackie x
