HSDT Fun Fold #2: Birthday Bash “Box Stand” Card

This week's Fun Fold HSDT Video is a fun one that anyone would love to receive!  Make your cards "stand out" with this easy-to-make unique Box Stand Fun Fold card for birthdays and more!  It folds flat for mailing but when opened, reveals a fun "box stand" feature.

Many moons ago – I did a similar card for a Stamp Camp.  The orientation was a "portrait" card and now 10 years later I wondered how a "landscape" card might work/look.  So I put on my accountant visor, got out a pencil and went to work play on recalculating the measurements for such a card.  When it all came together, I was giddy with delight! 

I selected the 2015 Occasions Catalog Specialty Designer Series Paper called Birthday Bash.  A closer look reveals some gold foil features on two sheets – which I used on this card.
