Scrapbooks are a fun crafty puzzle to make. The more gadgets your pages have, the more interesting its revelation is. Here are a few card ideas that you can add to your scrapbooks/explosion boxes.
1. Diagonal fold
This card is pretty simple to make because all you need for it is an A4 sized paper/board. You can fold it into three parts and then give the sections at either end a diagonal fold.

2. Flower envelope
This card requires a bit more work with rulers and compasses. You can't really write much inside but it's super cute! Just beware if you're planning on including this in a card to your boyfriend cuz there's a chance he might not realize that you can actually open the flower...Yep! I'm totally speaking from experience.

3. Waterfall
The waterfall card can be a bit tricky, and at times annoying, to make. But the end result is rewarding.

This is a cool gadgety looking card. It's not that tough to make, but it requires some folding skills.

6. Twist and fold
Here's another card that needs a minimal number of materials to make. In fact, you only need a square shaped paper/card for it.

9. Squash
The squash card reminds me of an accordion (that musical instrument that you carry on your hands and pump air into while playing)?
