HSDT Fun Fold #2: Birthday Bash "Box Stand" Card
April 17, 2015
This week's Fun Fold HSDT Video is a fun one that anyone would love to receive! Make your cards "stand out" with this easy-to-make unique Box Stand Fun Fold card for birthdays and more! It folds flat for mailing but when opened, reveals a fun "box stand" feature.
Many moons ago - I did a similar card for a Stamp Camp. The orientation was a "portrait" card and now 10 years later I wondered how a "landscape" card might work/look. So I put on my accountant visor, got out a pencil and went to work play on recalculating the measurements for such a card. When it all came together, I was giddy with delight!
I selected the 2015 Occasions Catalog Specialty Designer Series Paper called Birthday Bash. A closer look reveals some gold foil features on two sheets - which I used on this card.
closed view (will fit in Stampin' Up!'s medium envelope)
