I am sharing how to create a 3-D Box In A Card. If you like interactive and fun folds, I bet you will try this one. The fun 3-D box card folds flat and fits in a regular envelope, making it mail-friendly.
Thank you, Terri O., for the inspiration for this card.
There are very few supplies for this card; the only stamp is the greeting. The designer paper has all the little elements laser cut, so there is no need for a die-cut machine and dies. It is pretty much cut, scored, and assembled.
How to Create a Box in a Card
In the video, I share how to assemble the box in a card. I have the measurements below, so no worries if the video is too quick for the measurements. They are listed below.
Measurements
Note that in a few places, I will mention a side shorter; place your paper above the make of the measurement listed. This allows space for smooth opening and closing.
