Today’s project is extra special—it was made for my daughter’s 16th birthday! A milestone moment like this deserves something truly unique, so I designed a fun interactive card featuring “Popping Boxes.” Inspired by a tutorial from Positively Papercraft, I modified the original measurements to better fit an A2-sized card, making the surprise even more delightful.
Watching my daughter open the card and seeing the boxes pop out was the highlight of the day! If you love interactive cards, this project is definitely worth trying. Below, you’ll find the adjusted box measurements along with the supplies I used.
