For todays project I have 2 videos to share with you. In the first video, I’m making a box card, although it’s probably not the box card you were expecting. This fun fold technique is a front opening box card, rather than top opening. And for a change, due to popular request, I am colouring with pencils today instead of Copic markers. The second video shows how I coloured the fox and puppy stamps using Prismacolor pencils. Let’s start by taking a look at this very sweet set by Kindred Stamps … Inseparable Friends.
For this project I wanted to keep it CAS (clean and simple) … I’m really not one for a lot of embellishments (which you would never guess looking at the stacks of embellishment tubs in my papercrafting cupboard!). I just didn’t want to add too much bulk to the card, as the folds make it bulky enough already.

I do hope you enjoyed this project, and if you make a box card like this one, I’d love to see it!
was there going to be some measurements in this blog? I’m trying to follow along with the video, but the measurements are confusing me… eg 2″, 3.75″, 4.25″, 9″ (is the 4.25 meant to be 7.25?). Sorry to be a dufus!
