Using Girly Gnomes, and following a tutorial for the Expanding and Collapsing Box Card by Lisa Curcio, this adorable birthday card was finished with DP (Most Adored) and lavender cardstock from SU; enamel dots by Alta New; and Tonic Clear Crystal Glaze. The closed cardbox is held closed with a bellyband with artpiece and fits flat in an A2 envelope.
The bottom of the box has a Happy Birthday script sentiment stamped and a coordinating paper band/pocket with a punched shape that forms the pocket. Recipient's name will be handwritten on the tag-pocket. The bottom picture shows the box fully open. The box easily pops open and if you adjust the belly band properly, the box can contain several thicknesses of paper or ephemera. Tip: Do NOT burnish the folding and expanding mechanism --finger fold it because it will break down with overuse. Be VERY precise with measurements and scoring accuracy.
