[@zillabellecreativeinspirat954]

THIS WAS THEE BEST TUTORIAL EVER!!!! you actually made it so simple, no fluff...no special terms, just plain and simple.

[@valwakker3453]

Hi Meg, thank you for showing a very simple way to make a box card. I will make more of them now. Love the one you made. You made it so easy to follow.

[@debbiekaste6730]

Meg, you are a terrific teacher. I've looked at other videos and yours is the easiest to follow. Thanks so much for the tutorial. I'm now addicted to making these cards!

[@MegLoven]

Thanks so much, Debbie! Hope you're enjoying the pop-up cards still :)

[@davejuanykrowl165]

nice

[@TeresaMArsenault]

I love the simplicity of this tutorial. Thanks. :)

[@MegLoven]

So glad you enjoyed it Teresa! My goal is to keep things as simple and easy to follow as possible. The best compliment is when someone says they made one of my cards with the directions!

[@phylliszailer9757]

I made one of these "way back when " but couldn't remember how. Your video was the best example I was looking for! Yeaaaa! Thanks.

[@MegLoven]

SO glad you found the tutorial!! A fabulous project for sure - hmm...I might need to pull this out and make a refreshed version!

[@margiehill1325]

Thanks! I thought this would be an impossible card for me to make, but you demonstration and instructions give me hope. I will definitely try to make one.

[@MegLoven]

I am SO thrilled to inspire you to try something new, Margie! You can do it! These cards are truly a treat to make and SO well received. Have fun with your pop up box card!

[@rowandathystlemeijer7907]

Love your demo! I keep seeing these cards. You made it super easy to understand how they did that. I made one with a butterfly; it was good. But I just made one for my pistol club...I have to say it turned out AWESOME!!! Thank you. Going to try to add a link to you when I post a picture of it.

[@MegLoven]

How fun!! Yes, I’d love to see a photo!! So happy to hear that the tutorial was helpful - the pop up box card is such a great project. I’m sure your card was a big hit!

So happy you found the pop-up box card video, Jennie! Happy Stamping!

[@andrealavigne7824]

Thanks so much for sharing this tutorial! I've seen pop-up box cards on Pinterest, but haven't attempted one yet. Your version just looks super simple, and you explained it so well, especially about decorating it. I'm also glad you included the measurements on your blog post. Have to make one of these for my brother's birthday this month! Hope you have a wonderful day!

[@MegLoven]

Your brother will love it :) Or at least I hope so! Have fun with your new pop-up box cards!!

[@yvonnegoodall29]

Meg Loven what is the name of the plastic looking inserts for your pop up box as I couldn’t catch the name. I so want to make one

[@dnelsong]

Wow! You really did simplify this process. Thank you. Yesterday I bought a magazine with a template for a box card and I struggled with it and the directions until I found your tutorial. I don't need the template, just your excellent instruction.

[@dawnheadley2980]

Nice to see a simple way to create something special x

[@nancy982810]

Love how you get creative ideas

[@glittergrandma]

Awesome, great directions. I really did not want to spend$$$ for a die, but I really wanted to make some of these card. Thank you so much.

[@now22207]

Love your very simple to follow version of this box. Looks easier than my craft dies version. I'm gonna try yours instead of getting out all the dies and machine. Thanks a bunch. Green-Lid glue. I think that's my favorite Tombox multi-purpose glue. haha

[@MegLoven]

You got it - Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I think they should change the name in the catalog ;) Have fun with your card!

[@now22207]

@@MegLoven I made the pop-up box card for a student who moved away last Friday. She loved it, and all the kids thought it was cool. Besides confetti, I also had folded post-it notes from the principal and several teachers pop out with the cube. Afterwards, a beaded bracelet I made with her name on it with left in the bottom of the box. It was awesome! Thanks again.

[@lynnepowell3981]

Thank you for this tutorial, I honestly thought that making a Pop up box card was way beyond my capabilities but you've changed that, once and for all. Your instructions were precise and to the point and, what's more, in inches!! Well done, you.

Thank you! I've been wanting to try and make one for a couple of months now, you might measure in inches, but I have a double measured ruler with centimetres on one side and inches on the other and am able to convert.

[@roselinprimrose1637]

I loved doing this my grandson asked for one for his friend

[@louisejohnson1898]

I think the inside flaps should be opposite, right? That way the box can fold flat if preferred...thanks for showing this method.

[@MegLoven]

LuLu Johnson you’re welcome! The flaps can fold either way - they do fold flat when they’re done as in the video, but they can certainly be opposite - that would work, too. Good thought!

[@dorismoore3472]

Wow! You made that so much easier than all the other crazy videos I've watched on making a box card! Thank You!!! Do you know how attach one of these pop up boxes inside the center of a regular card? So that when you open the card the box (glued to the center of the card)pops open and the card is now the "mat" the box sits on. I hope I explained that so you know what I mean, Thank you and look forward to your other videos! 😁

[@MegLoven]

So glad you found it helpful, Doris! I haven't tried putting this card inside a regular one, but it sounds like a great idea.

[@dorismoore3472]

I'm checking out how Karen Burniston does it with her dies...

[@MegLoven]

You'd need to put some extra creases and cuts in the bottom panels to make it fold out - probably some diagonal score lines. Interesting idea - might have to play with it :)

[@jeannetteantry1086]

I know you did this in 2014, but the idea is so amazing and this video is the best, still very fresh and fabulous. So worth the effort. Thanks so much. You make it look easy and I can see myself making this for some fun occasions and using some of my stash in a very creative way. Jnetti

[@MegLoven]

The papers are all made by Stampin' Up! and available through my online store (links in my 'about' page). The designer series papers shown in this video are retired, but there are some great updated choices with current colors and patterns to sub for the ones I used on this Pop Up Box Card.

The subtitles are an automatic feature that KZbin adds... and they're pretty horrible as far as matching what I'm actually saying! Glad you found them funny though :)

[@aqmendez4670]

[@MegLoven]

You mean the panels with the gray and white striped paper, right? They are 1 3/4" by 2 1/2".

where do I get the scoring pad? I didn't hear what you called it

[@MegLoven]

It's called a Simply Scored Tool (122334) and it's available from Stampin' Up! through a demonstrator. I'd be happy to help you - just visit my blog or website and click ordering.

[@ScrappyAnime25]

Can I use something other than acetate to hold up the decorations?

[@MegLoven]

Sure, you could use card stock or pretty much anything. The window sheets (acetate) are just fun because they're clear.

[@ScrappyAnime25]

Will it still hold up embellishments well? Thank you for the help!

[@MegLoven]

ScrappyAnime25 If your embellishments aren't too heavy (punched card stock pieces, an occasional rhinestone) they should be fine. But the acetate will definitely stand up to a lot more weight (LOL...no pun intended)!

[@ScrappyAnime25]

Thank you so much for the help! I truly appreciate it! :)
