Last night I created an impossible box with a matching card . I got this idea firstly from Jan B and then found several different versions on Pinterest and I believe the original creator was Julie DiMatteo #paper pixie . The box is created from one single piece of card stock or designer series paper . When it is closed it appears as though it has a removable lid but it’s actually all one piece ! Pretty cool right !
I also created the matching card using my Basic Borders dies and some products from the Eden’s Garden suite of products . If you love the DSP and gems you need to get them now because they are not going through to the new mini !
You can see how I made this in my video as well as some gorgeous Christmas cards I’ve received.
As promised in the video , here are the box sizes and measurements . I forgot to mention that when adding DSP to your box , if using card stock as the box , it doesn’t need to go the whole way up to the top - just have it as I have shown in the photo or your box will not open . See here
