Library Thank You Card in a Box

I made several of these box greeting cards to thank my volunteers at my real-life library job.

The large window and boy reading on the window seat work perfectly for this type of pop up card.

When the card is closed, you see a bouquet of roses, shelves of books, and a glimpse of the arched window.

This is the back of the closed card.

The illustrations are by Margaret Bloy Graham, from The Plant Sitter.
The large yellow rose is a freebie from SVG cuts.


It took me about 4 hours of cutting, pasting, duplicating, stretching, and shrinking, to fill the card.

I make these box cards with an box-shaped interior strut.  See this post for details.

The boy reading a book is on the back cross piece.  The dog and piles of books are on the front cross piece.
