Hi Stampers!
Today I am sharing three fun fold cards I call box sleeve cards. The mechanism making them fun folds is basically a box sleeve. “Kim, what in the world is a box sleeve,” you ask? Think match box; the cover that slides on and off is the box sleeve. In card making a box sleeve type mechanism or modified versions, allows card elements to pop up, stand up, and stand out! Let’s take a look at the cards I created:
The daffodil card is a regular card base with a box sleeve attached to the bottom front of the card. The box sleeve allows the focal image to stand out from the card. For the middle card (Seas the Day) the box sleeve is used as a pop up mechanism inside the card. The yard tools card is a modified box sleeve card that stands on its own.
A great thing about these fun folds is they fit in a regular A-2 sized envelope! (Stampin’ Up!®️ Medium Envelopes)
Watch the video below to see how each card base goes together.

DIMENSION FOR ALTERNATE “SLEEVE” SHOWN IN VIDEO
For this version of the STAND ALONE BOX SLEEVE CARD the box sleeve is separate from the card base, and is a partial sleeve.
* For the sleeve cut cardstock at 5 1/2” x 4 1/4” (1/4 sheet of cardstock)
* Score along the 5 1/2” side at 1/2”, 1 3/4”, 3 3/4”m and 5”
* Fold along score lines - all are mountain folds.
* Place adhesive on two end tabs and adhere to card starting along the bottom edge of the card base.
Why not give these cards a try? To create the cards in landscape orientation just adjust the length of the box sleeve. For example, to create a landscape orientation pop up card adjust the length of the box sleeve to 5 1/4” (or 5 1/2” if you want the mechanism to span across the entire card). The scoring will remained the same.
That’s it for today. Thank you for stopping by. Until next time…
Stamp Happy!
Kim
