Pop up Gift Money Box

Week two of the Sizzix blog hop is Karen Burniston's Pop Up Twist Cube. Karen is one of my favourite designers so I was very excited to try out her new invention. I had planned to make a moving house card with the cube as a packing box but saw on Karen's blog that she had already thought of that one so it was back to the drawing board!

I had an idea that a pop up Christmas present would be fun and then realised how much better it would be if I made a pop up money box. It would be great to put a cash gift inside rather than the usual envelope but even better, once popped up, the cube could be used to keep any other Christmas money gifts safely inside until it's time to go shopping after the holiday.

This is the front of my card:

and the inside with the box still folded (put the money inside then fold the box back down):

Very cute idea for Christmas!!!

Jane, Jane, Jane! I have been clicking all morning, knowing that you would have something amazing posted and sure enough . . . you do! I absolutely LOVE this idea! Also, the way you've decorated this is so fun and cheerful. But I'm still in awe of the idea. Funny about the moving box. I'd say that 'great minds think alike' but I would have never thought of this, so I'm going to say '1 great mind and 1 nearly-as-great-as-jane-but-infinitely-superior-in-dog-taste mind think alike' Thanks for using my die, my friend!

So much better than $ in an envelope. Anyone would love to get this special gift. Cute!

Sweet idea for Christmas giving! Definitely better than a plain old envelope.
