This card uses images from the newest release by www.mftstamps.com, being released January 6 at 10 pm EST.
For the outside of this card, I hand drew and cut out a popcorn box shape (super easy -- basically just a triangle, without a tip!). Then I cut out "stripes" of red decorative paper and adhered them to the front to make a striped box. I stamped out "popcorn" with my Bling 'Bet set, cut out the letters, and framed them using circle Nestabilities. For the letters, I colored with a red Copic spica pen in each bling hole and added a dot of Glossy Accents on each one. I colored and cut out the adorable popcorn image that comes with this stamp set and added it to the center. Finally, I glued a bunch of pieces of popcorn (tutorial on how to make these on my blog) to the top of the box.
When the front was done, I put a thin strip of adhesive on the left and right sides and the bottom edge and adhered it to another piece of cardstock that I had cut to the same shape and size. This created a pocket.
If you grab the top of the popcorn and pull (like you're about to grab a big 'ole handful of buttery goodness), an inner card pops out!
I intentionally made the majority of the inner card one-layer, because I didn't want a lot of bulk or edges to be caught when the card was sliding in and out of its popcorn box sleeve. To make it, I stamped the main image and the sentiment on the card and colored it with Copics. I did a really simple coloring job this time around, because I thought the rest of the card was wild enough. I inked the edges in yellow and attached tons more popcorn pieces to the top.

Very cute and fantastic idea! Really like the pullout card! This would be a great card to put in a bucket with popcorn, couple bottles of pop, other goodies and some movie tickets! Thanks for the great idea!
