I Made a Box Card! Easy Mail – fits A2 Envelopes! + Blog Hop
If the video does not display, please click here to watch on my YouTube channel or refresh the page. This post is also part of Simon’s Love You, Too release blog hop. The hop details are at the bottom of this post.
One of the newest die sets I designed for Simon Says Stamp is the Box Card die! This die is simple and requires very little effort to assemble – I love when the dies can do most of the work for you! I am going to show you how to build the “window box” scene that I’ve created with this Box Card, along with the Best Friend Ever stamp and die set. The coolest part? This dimensional card folds flat and fits in an A2 envelope!
I colored the florals from Best Friend Ever with Copic markers:
- RV0000, RV10, RV21, RV25 for the pinks
- YG0000, YG13, YG23, G28
The background and inserts of my Box Card are ink blended with Scuba and Jellybean inks from Simon. You’ll also notice from glittery butterflies that I cut from the Stitching Butterflies die set. Those are attached to my inserts with acetate strips; this allows the butterflies to look as if they are fluttering amongst the flowers.
For sentiments, I used the new Inside Friendship Messages set and the Thankful 2 die. I love the way these paired together!
This card is best explained in the video I have at the top of this post, so I hope you will tune in and watch how I made this unique card!

Beautiful and cheery box card!
I haven’t tried a box card, but would like to try one. I like the idea to combine the images.
What a fun card that’s a work of art.
Thanks so much for sharing the tutorial on how to use this creative new box die from SSS! The idea of having all that dimension is intimidating, but the die and your tips make it seem quite easy. Love your how your card turned out!
Impressive box card using the elegant florals and butterflies.
Very cute and the box die seems MUCH easier than another type I tried a few years ago. You made it look so simple. (I think you could have salvaged the too tall butterfly issue but — make an envelope not a bad idea either. : )
Love this! Great inspiration. Thanks!
Love it great idea
The flowers look so pretty. I love the simple look of them.
thank you for the inspiration. I made something similar at Christmas with Santa and reindeer but never thought about using flowers. I see a garden in my future. lol
Beautiful explosion of color and beauty from this floral image!! Great new die set for box cards to add variety to our stash too!
So gorgeous and these dies are amazing.
I am in awe of your application. You are talented! I have never made a box card; it looks so involved, I don’t have the confidence yet.
I love this card and it’s a bonus that it fits A2 envelope!
Such a fun card, I love the butterflies!
I like that there are several versions of box cards available at dies now.
Great presentation of the Love you too release.

Oh, Nina! This is absolutely beautiful!
Fabulous card! Need to try a box card soon!!
Fantastic idea. I love to make
cards-in-a-box. they are so
versatile, but they were so small.
Now I can make a full size card
and get more into the box.
thanks for designing a fun idea.

Beautiful card and so creative.
I love box cards, and this one is gorgeous—as is your coloring!!!
Thanks for showing the box card. I am new to die-cutting although I have been stamping for a long time. I took a chance and ordered the box die and the add-on for its borders even before seeing your video, but your tutorial confirmed my choice. I’m sure I can do it. Your floral card is GORGEOUS! Love the colors of Copics you put together.
