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):

Hi, Jane! Love your idea/take on Karen's product :) Don't know if you remember me but we met back about 9 years ago in New Jersey at a crop - I am a friend of Lynn Consvoy! Small world!
