Stampin' Up! Birthday Delivery

What a fun card I made for a friend's birthday...I'll show you various aspects of it...

Looking inside


It's called a "card in a box" and it folds flat in a couple of ways to fit in an A2 envelope. Which way do you like better?



I think I like the first way better so it's more of a surprise when it's opened. It's my first try at this type of card so I hope my next one will be perfect and will take less time for the design and layout.

Not only is it for a friend, but it's for two challenges:

 In addition to watching the You Tube tutorial on TGIF, I watched these two videos to learn how to make it: Sandi MacIver Video #1 and Sandi MacIver Video #2. Both Carolyn Sander and Sandi provide the measurements needed.

I used quite a number of products to make this card and you can see them below. Everything is Stampin' Up! and current products with the exception of the chick and chicken and sentiment on the banner. Those are from last year's Sale-A-Bration and are called "Hey Chick" and "Honeycomb Happiness."

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed my card.

  4. Oh I love these magic box cards, even when you've made one you still end up being amazed that something with so much dimension can actaully pack flat and go in an envelope. Great job, and that piggy is adorable. Thanks for joining in at SOSS

  5. I was going to say pretty much what Jane above me said - these magic box cards are amazing that they pack flat for mailing. Your farm themed card is all sorts of adorable! Thanks for joining us at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!
