Apparently when I had a root canal this morning, all my brains fell out. I had a terrible time folding the very last fold!! Finally I got it, and here it is. No great shakes.
This will go to Mom with others that I have done once and will not try again. The card is clever, but I guess I'm not!

Oh, poor you - I know from DH that root canals aren't fun. But it doesn't look to me as if your brain fell out, I think this looks lovely.
I must say, though, I was glad that I've made a lot of origami boxes in my time, it made it much easier. It was hard to see that last folding it up again move in the video. I have to save mine till tomorrow because it's my TPT card.

I'm so sorry you had a root canal and hope you feel better. I wasn't going to type this part, but when you said your brains fell out after the root canal, it just made me laugh out loud! I wasn't laughing at you - just at your remark! Besides, your brain must be in tact to have made this amazing box - it's lovely and I'm sure your sweet Mom will love it.

What an amazing woman you are! Had a root canal in the morning, made a beautiful card in the afternoon... ho, hum, and may be bake a cake for your mom in the evening? Your card is so pretty! The next time I feel like I'm in a slump and have no motivation to make a card, I'll think of you : )

Very cool card shape. I think you did an excellent job - especially with a root canal recently performed! Impressive.
