Hi
I have made this pop up box card as part of  a demo I am doing at my friends .I have never made one like this before..the demo brief is butterflies so I think this meets requirments ...lol
I used the stunning embossed  A4 papers from the new Trimcraft /santoro range called Mirabelle ...I have fallen in love with this range as there are so many stunning componants to the range making your projects so easy to co-ordinate....buttons,metal charms,papers,wooden embellies,frames,ribbon stamps you name it its there
The card is quite large so I had to make the  box  it is standing on to fit it in ...
