I used a combination of Kristi W. Designs from both Marjorie Ann Designs and Scrapping Cuts N' Snips for all the paper piecing used on this card. "Back to School Owls" and "Bentley at the Beach" sets from Marjorie Ann Designs for Bentley Bear, the pencil and the book. Crayons, paintbrush and rainbow are from Scrapping Cuts N' Snips' "You Color My World" set.
This side view shows the Bam Boxes behind each bear and adhered inside the card.
Since I used four rubberband activated Bam Boxes inside my card, I ran into a slight problem trying to figure out a way to keep my card in the closed position without too much bulging.Usually one neodynium magnet in each of the four corners is enough for rubberband activated pop up cards I've made in the past. But this time, the elastic force of the four rubberbands required six magnets to keep my card closed. Other than that, these Bam Boxes are simple to assemble and can be used in countless ways to add a fun pop up feature to cards. I'm sure I'll be using them often to animate my cards.

Bam boxes sound like a good way to activate a card. Your card is fabulous and surely made your granddaughter happy. I like your solution of using the magnets to keep the card closed. I learn so much when I visit your blog site. Thanks for sharing your information and creativity. Hugs!
