Have you ever made any box cards? Well, I just saw my first one a couple of weeks ago while I was at a Saturday crop, and I was sooooo impressed with how cute it was! I just had to go on You Tube to find out how to make them, and I did find quite a few video tutorials on how to make them. Each one of them used slightly different measurements, but I finally settled on one of the bigger cards and made my card that way. It's basically the same idea as an exploding box, but with more additions. Let me show you what my card looks like. It was for a gentleman in our Sunday School class who had surgery. I wanted to brighten up his day.
This is what the card looks like when it's closed. Then you sort of pinch it at the sides, and it turns into a box and Voila!
You can't tell, but the bottom striped part is in box form, and the top polka dots fold out to open the box and reveal the cute little characters inside. Want to learn how to make one?
The writer speaks of the common occurences in the life of anyone who scrapbooks regularly and finds that she (or he) has spent more on scrapbooking tools than on food for the family. There are musings about a hobby that creates a mess wherever you work at it, and as long as there are unscrapped photographs anywhere in the house, it never ends. And there are always new and wonderful products coming out that one HAS to have!
About Me
- Judy G.
- I was raised in South Florida back in the years when it was a peaceful and wonderfully safe place to live. We lived a mile from the beach and could ride our bikes over the intercoastal bridge right to the best beach around. All my years of growing up I was a competitive swimmer and belonged to AAU. I granduated from Florida State University with a BS degree in nursing. I am recently retired but I'm thinking of going back to work to support my hobbies.
