My DD has been visiting, and we each made one.
Months ago I had bought the Scrappy Tails A7 Storefront dies, as well as one of the add ons, and the mechanism dies for creating the instant pop up. That means it is flat in the envelope, but when the recipient takes it out of the envelope, it instantly pops up into the 3D shape. In some ways it is similar to a box card, but with a box card, the recipient has to open it into the 3D shape manually.
I had received a store bought card years ago that was an instant pop up box card bouquet, and I have been looking for something like this for years. Both that card and the Scrappy Tails card use a rubber band. However, it has to be the right size rubber band. I did finally manage to get the 4 inch rubber bands off Amazon, but they were both too wide and slightly short of the necessary 4 inches. I ended up having better results with fine elastic cord cut to 9 inches, doubled and knotted so that it was a 4 inch diameter loop.
The dies had to be separated, but they cut well. They have a LOT of pieces. You can get creative and make a variety of houses/stores with the dies and add ons. My DD used nearly all dies from the Scrappy Tails set, but I brought down some other house card dies that were a good size to use as add ons, so there are a couple of die cuts that aren’t made by Scrappy Tails.
