Aloha and welcome to another edition of the Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop! Twenty of my Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator friends are joining me in this worldwide blog that stretches all the way from New Zealand to Hawaii across twelve different time zones.
The general theme for this month is “3D Projects”! I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with!
I love making cards. But it’s even more fun to make a 3D Project!! Today I’ll be showing you a special card I’m making for Mom. Mom’s been in the hospital for almost a month and was transferred to a nursing home on Friday. I wanted to make a card that she could set on her bedside to remind her of me & how much I miss her.
Hydrangea Haven Card in a Box
Mom loves hydrangeas and these beautiful blues and purples remind me of her.
I’ve pulled out a bunch of my favorite stamp sets and dies to help me with this fun project! If you’d like to try this project at home, you’ll find all supplies listed at the very bottom of this post.
Card in a Box
Did you know this card lies flat for mailing? You do need to make a special envelope to match the size.

What a pretty card in a box! I like card in a box, too. I specially like the message in a little heart. It looks like the bird is saying that !
Thanks Satomi! Yes, that’s a talking bird!
Wow! Beautiful card. I just love these cards. I checked out your” card in the box ” gallery (awesome!).
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Sue! You can tell I really like this type of card!!
This box provides so much joy just by seeing it! We really need it right now, well done!
Ha! Thank you, Aurelie!
I just love your card in a box!
Thanks Danielle!
That’s a really pretty card-in-a-box. The paper is so glorious on its own that you don’t need too much on the inside, so the bird on a branch is perfect.
Thank you, Jan! I agree, I didn’t need to add much because the paper is so pretty by itself. It’s hard to stop, though, with these Card In a Boxes!!
Beautiful! I hope your Mom is feeling better every day. I know she will be cheered by your lovely card.
Thanks so much, Sharon!
Cheryl, this card is so beautiful! It looks hard, I’ve never made one of these.
It’s really not too bad- you just need to follow directions to make the box. You should give it a try!
Love everything about this amazing card-in-a-box, Cheryl! So many delightful details… and what a joy to make while thinking of your mom! You are a definitely your mother’s daughter! xx
Thanks so much, Angie!
