Card in a Box fun!!

A week or two ago, I saw a cute card in a box and decided to give it a try.  The first one didn't go quite as well as I hoped, but once I got the system down, it got pretty easy and I was hooked!  I made a couple for Mother's day, one for my brother birthday (a sports fan), and then I tried a different kind of pop-up card that was also a blast.

The tutorial for the card in a box I used was a different one because that one was translated into English and I wanted to use inches rather than centimeters since my ruler didn't have both.  The youtube video is here     The sound was very quiet on my computer, so I wrote down the dimensions so I would have a quick reference for the following times I made the card in a box.

Here's the 1st one I made....

Then I tried this Easter one.  I saw that some people used transparency sheets to make things "fly", so I tried a strip from that to make the butterfly "fly".  The cards fold flat and can be sent in a regular card envelope.  yeah!

Next I tried this modern looking one that goes with the style of my M-I-L's decor.

And this one for my brother's birthday...

The tutorial I used for the pop-up card I found here.  I also looked on splitcoaststampers.com and there were tons of fun ideas for these as well.  Yeah!  

 These also fold flat for mailing... like this-

Here's another for Mother's day...

 I also had a new nephew born, so I made this cute dresser card for his arrival.  I used this card for my inspiration, and found a tutorial for the side step card  here.

Thanks for stopping by!
