Handmade Exploding Box Card

I made this for my Dad's 65th birthday to also celebrate his retirement. Inside I used quotes about retirement along with some 3D features. The verse is in the tiny envelope, and our message is written on a couple of the inner flaps. So pleased with the result.

I have been looking for a pattern for the exploding box (just to lazy to make my own). Thank you. I LOVE THESE. Did you not record with sound or did it just not play for me???

[PMaddict]

@tekettle - I didn't use sound. I used my still camera which doesn't have a microphone and can only take 60 seconds of recording.

Glad you like it :)

The instructions can be found if you search my videos for Exploding Box Card Instructions.

I tried to paste the link but it wouldn't allow it.

I have now uploaded a basic powerpoint set of instructions for this card.

WOW! Wish I could've made 1 of these for my dad before he died.... he'd have gotten a kick outta that... oh well. May make 1 for the father-in-law or a friend... awesome. Too cool the way it just falls out like that... =)
