This card folds flat, but has 2 panels that can be tipped up and propped open. It needs an image that without a definite top so the bottom image looks OK upside down, but it looks great sitting on display.

The die, punch, and card stock used on this card have been retired. {sniff} I don’t usually hang on to retired products, but I still have my Pillow Box Die and a small stash of Glossy card stock.
If you don’t have the die, it’s not impossible to make the box. It just takes a bit more work. The Medallion stamp has been retired too, but you could substitute Daydream Medallions. The Pillow Box goes together quickly.

This card uses simple slits and folds to add a 3-D pop to cards. We made them into a birthday cake and on the instructions you’ll see a wedding cake I made with the same method. I have also seen this technique used to make stacked birthday or Christmas gifts or baby’s building blocks. It’s all in the way you decorate it.
Aren’t these little purses sweet? They are just big enough to hold a small treat. I couldn’t help notice how they look like the Miche Bags my friends and I had recently purchased at a home sales gathering. So we made them out of Basic Black card stock and added Designer Series Paper with tiny brads just like the Miche Bags. I suppose you could even use small thin magnets to the Designer Series Paper so you can change the design. We didn’t carry it that far!

This is another wonderful way to use velum. Stamp and emboss the front, then turn it over to color the back. The result is similar to a stained glass window. We used aluminum foil to add sparkle.

Yep. You read that right. Regular heavy-duty household aluminum, glued to card stock for strength, and run through the Big Shot in an embossing folder. We did the flip flop by getting fancy with the cutting plates on the Big Shot. Sounds harder than it really was. Try it!
