@Katrawr10 I will change it!

Thanks yoyomax12 for doing such a great job with your instruction videos, I wish others would hire you to show their :)

Years ago, Carol Duvall showed these - I believe it was on The Home Show. She also showed a lovely dimensional wreath made up of several layers of these little boxes, it was so pretty!

[lomlloyl]

That's awesome...thanks so much for sharing!

[beccalou72]

Brilliant :D - thank you 

[tiffanyrowandotcom]

Thank you soooooooo much!

[yoyomax12]

@tiffanyrowandotcom Glad you found the video useful and thanks for letting me know!

[kawaii50]

Wow! I give out many gift cards during the holidays, so this will be a great way to incorporate the gift card AND a holiday greeting card. This idea is not only attractive but also economical and eco friendly.

[yoyomax12]

@kawaii50 Thanks! That reminds me to make some before xmas this year to send goodies in!

[bahallaka]

really nice and neat....i like it, easy to make.

[yoyomax12]

Very easy and the results are very nice looking too.

Thanks!

[yoyomax12]

The shadow box idea is a nice one, a great way to display a particularly pretty card

[farleyriver]

[yoyomax12]

You are welcome!

[PaisleyGiraffe]

[yoyomax12]

[crazykasumi]

this is such a great idea!!!

[yoyomax12]

thanks!

[mewpie85]

i love it! i made a box out of an old birthday card... it's cute coz you can still read the birthday message in side the box :) thx for sharing!

[yoyomax12]

It is nice to have the message inside the box, you can also make it so that the message is on the bottom of the box as well :)

[WillowBranchDesigns]

Shut up!!! That is so awesome & easier than I thought it would be..that's why I waited so long to watch.

Thanks Tammy!!

[thizizliz]

I made a bunch of these - too cool. Packed them up with my Christmas wrapping stuff so they will be there for next year. Thanks so much.

[yoyomax12]

Packing them up with the xmas wrap is a great idea! I always forget what I have and am surprised when I open the containers, lol

[OpheliaCallisto]

I know how to make origami boxes, but I never would have thought of this. Thanks!

[GoneIsGone]

Very Nifty :+)

[yoyomax12]

Thanks much!

[silverscreamgrl]

Okay, notw that is fast and an awesome outcome. Even I can do it :) I'm going to try it now and use my foo-foo-lah-lah Martha Stewart boner (lol) instead of a ruler to make my creases.

[yoyomax12]

You know... I have a foo foo lah lah origami thingy that you use to flatten creases, I forgot all about it!

[silverscreamgrl]

Yes!! Probably one of those 'boner' things. I love it for making awesome creases. I didn't realize how THICK some cards are!!!

[Neferkit]

Happy New Year, Tammy!

[Dlorezzz]

Tammy that is the best idea I have seen in a long time. I hate to pack cards away after Christmas or birthdays. I will definitely do this with some of my favorites and display them all year..

[yoyomax12]

You could display some of these all year, they could be easily stacked as well.

Thanks as always for watching and commenting Dolores, I so appreciate you.

[yoyomax12]

A great way to give new life to a beautiful card that would otherwise get packed away or thrown in the recycling bin.

[thizizliz]

Oh Tammy, I love it. So simple and adorable. Hmmm, interesting indeed. :) Thanks for the idea.

[yoyomax12]

You are welcome Liz!

[downsizingme]

Thank you for doing that. Great idea and can be done with any kind of cards!

[yoyomax12]

Any card with a design that is fairly centered will work great.

[WackaDoodleFreeZone]

Thanks Tammy I am going to do this and then put them away for putting gifts in next year with my decorations for the tree and such. HUGS and Thanks again Blessings for a great new year. xooxox

[yoyomax12]

They are perfect to put homemade goodies (cookies, candies, ornaments) in.

Thanks Peggy!!
