These are cute little Hershey Nugget boxes on the outside, but when you pull the “drawer” open, the magic happens!

The little present attached to a Window Sheet lever, pops up when the “drawer” is pulled out. Here’s a video showing how to make these boxes. Please subscribe to my YouTube channel while you’re there I make new videos each week and love to make fun folds and 3-D gift items. I also have a written tutorial going out in my next newsletter, so please subscribe here if you’d like the written tutorial.

I made this box for my son, Ryan’s, 26th birthday last week. Nobody I know likes Apple Pie more than Ryan, so I made him a homemade apple pie for his “birthday cake.” The secrets to my pie are a lard crust and several different types of apples so the flavors all meld together. I also gave him this sweet little box of Nuggets with the Apple Pie popping up. Ryan liked it even better when he found money underneath the Hershey Nuggets. Our dear friend, Janene, had us all over for a wonderful birthday dinner and sent him home with Scotcheroos, another of his favorite treats.

Home for the Holidays Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is “Home for the Holidays”. We really hope that you enjoy and are inspired by them! As you hop from blog to blog, don’t forget to leave comments because we love hearing from you. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

I made this easy fun fold into a fancy Christmas card by adding gold heat embossing and blends. The bow is from the Gift Giving dies, but you will also find little bows in the Baby Clothes dies #155471 and the Stockings dies #156288.

Inside the card is Basic White CS 4-5-1/4″ with Whimsical Trees heat embossed in gold. The Mossy Meadow CS started at 5-1/2″ x 11″ scored at 3-1/4″ and 7-1/2″ before the 1-1/4″ angles were cut.

Sheryl said, “Beth creates the kind of cards that I love to receive and makes me want to create them for others. She inspires everyone in our group to design unique 3×3 squares that turn into beautiful samplers for us all to share and enjoy. Thank you Beth!”

Sharon said, “Belonging to Beth’s group is so nice. I enjoy Zoom classes that keep us connected to our Joy team, keeps us informed, gives us a chance to ask questions and learn new ways to make cards. It’s so nice to have the opportunity to virtually meet other people who enjoy making cards. Beth encourages us to try new things and is very willing to answer questions and help us out.

Steve had so much fun helping me create this Artic Fun Fold Christmas card. I thought this was all the Artic animals having fun together, until Steve explained that it’s kind of like the food chain. Puffin eats fish, Polar Bear eats Puffin. That would make it less joyful, but it gave us a good laugh.

This is a unique original fun fold. Here is the template to make it:
