Today’s projects feature the Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper to create an impossible box and an easy fun fold! But you know me, I’ll make the impossible box possible for you! And the fun fold card is the perfect way to use your scenic papers to their fullest potential!

The beautiful Meandering Meadows paper is the star of the show with these projects! Let’s get to the details!
2x2x2 Impossible Box
If you’ve been following me for awhile, you know I LOVE Impossible Boxes! I will forever be fascinated by the mechanics of a box & lid in one!
This Impossible Box is a great size – it’s a 2″ cube, so a handful of treats will fit inside… or perhaps an EOS Lip Balm in the round container or a mini bath bomb!
I love the look of patterned paper on the top of the box:
And if you’ve never seen an Impossible Box before, here’s how the box opens:
Simply lift the lid and the opening reveals itself! If you’ve never given an Impossible Box a try, I hope my tutorial will make it “possible” for you! They really are easier than they look!
Here’s the template for reference (not to scale):

5×6 Fun Fold Card
This easy fun fold is a great way to showcase our beautiful scenic papers, like Meandering Meadows!
This project was inspired by my friend Karen Titus and I instantly fell in love with this easy fun fold!
Here’s why this fun fold is so great for our scenic papers:
The Designer Series Paper piece measures 5″ x 6″, so it’s a great way to use your paper! I added a Basic White panel to the inside of the card flap to write a message. I hope you’ll give this fun fold a try!

Hi Julie,
Thank you for taking the time to do this post.
I like to save your post so when I need to make a 3-d project for either my pool buddies, dentist workers, servers and the ladies at the care home I have the projects.
You do such a good job on pictures and measurements it is much appreciated that everything is correct.
love the template it is great for a visual tool to go by when making your projects!!

Hi Julie, I watch you every week! Love all of your videos. I am looking for the directions and template for the swivel box. Also, I made the dispenser for the Velcro dots. But I put glue dot roll in there and it works perfectly! Just be sure the glue dots facing up. Have a wonderful week!
