Card In A Box

Have you seen a Card In A Box?  It is the new hot thing to make in stamping.  When I first saw one I thought it seemed too labor intensive and so I did not try it.  However, there have been so many posts on Pinterest and other card making blogs that I finally gave in and tried one.  Wow!  Am I glad I did.  Yes, it did take a little time, but the process was sooo much fun.  In fact, I plan to teach it at my stamp club sometime soon.  This is my first attempt at making one.  It is for my mom.  My dad died in May 2013 and their 52nd Anniversary would have been on February 17th.  I sent this to her today to just lift her spirits a bit.  Hope you enjoy it too!

This is the card folded and ready to mail.  I created an envelope for it with the envelope punch board and then put it in a small manilla envelope.  It only cost 70 cents to mail.  Not bad!

When you open the box this is what you get.  My husband said it is the neatest card technique he has ever seen.

Just a different angle

Happy Stamping!
