Level of Difficulty: Easy THE BOX (Also know as the Parallel
Fold or the Step) While simple to construct, the box is
extremely versatile. It lends itself beautifully to cards with
strong graphical elements. The pop up mechanism enhances the
graphics without being distracting. Today's Lesson: A Box
symmetrically cut from the fold. Fold your paper in half. I like
to use a whole sheet of 8.5" x 11" when I'm learning a new
technique. On the outside of the folded card, draw one or more
rectangles of any size, where one side of the rectangle is the
fold. Here I have drawn three of various size. Cut along the
rectangle sides that are perpendicular to the fold. (Shown as
solid lines on the sample.) DO NOT CUT across the top. Score
across the top of the rectangle. (Shown as dotted line on the
sample.) You now have a flap of paper with a fold across the
bottom. Set creases into the rectangle by folding the flap up,
then unfolding. Flip the card over and fold the flap up on the
other side, then unfold. Open the card. Fr
