There’s nothing quite like a fun fold card that includes a pop up feature. Today’s card making ideas showcase a collapsing box card design.
This expanding card fits in an A2 envelope as a fold flat card (although you may need a bit more postage) and when opened, displays into a pop up box card. These creative handmade cards are certainly special. Tuck in a gift card and turn this DIY creation into a gift card holder as well.

Box Card | Country Flowers
If you’re looking for a Suite of products that has lots of versatility then look no further than the Country Woods Suite. With two ‘sister’ stamp sets, dies, designer paper and embellishments you’ll be creating greeting cards for any occasion in minutes!
I used alcohol Stampin’ Blends markers to color the images which were easily coordinated with the Bright & Beautiful Designer Paper I chose. Stampin’ Up!’s color coordination makes creating easy!
Once the belly band is removed, the card pops up to reveal a box. It stands freely for display, too!
You could easily insert a handwritten note inside but I opted to add a layer of Basic White cardstock to the back which includes my sentiment and plenty of room to sign.
Box Card | Cake Fancy
If you love simple stamping this card has it all! While it looks detailed, I used only stamps, ink and cardstock.
I didn’t have the right designer paper for the color palette I chose so I decided to create my own. I stamped the floral images on Basic White cardstock and layered them on the front of the card. Your stamp images make perfect backgrounds. Give it a try!
The belly band uses the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch (one of my favorites) with a simple greeting to keep the card closed.
The cake and flowers are simple decorative stamps that are intended to look realistic. This is perfect for those of us that don’t stamp perfectly every single time. I used the Misti to create this card which assured perfect placement of my cake layers. CLICK HERE for the details on the Misti stamp positioning tool. I can’t live without mine!
Simply Said
This cards shows off the impact of beautiful designer paper. The Mediterranean Blooms Designer Paper includes rich blue tones mixed with yellows and oranges. It’s quickly becoming a favorite of mine since it’s not gender specific.
These realistic lemons are from the designer paper. I found a section I liked, grabbed my Paper Snips and cut it out. Don’t worry about your fussy cutting not being perfect. The images are so beautifully colored no one will notice!
The die cuts holding the designer paper lemons come from Stylish Shapes and Everyday Details Dies. Mix and match your dies for creative layers and designs.
This pop up box card is perfect for adding in small items like a gift card, cash or check. With graduations, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day all around the corner, this fun fold is a great way to spruce up your giving!
