More Than A Card

A layered reveal
The multi-panel explosion design turns a compact cube into a large layered display. Each opening creates another little pause before the next photo, message, or decoration appears.
Your story, everywhere
Multiple photo slots, heart-shaped panels, decorative paper, stickers, pens, and adhesive tape give you flexible places for images and messages. Every section can carry a different memory.
A place for one more
The central gift compartment lets the photo album hold a small additional present. Add a keepsake, token, or tiny surprise so the reveal feels complete.

Ready to gift
The ribbon closure keeps the folded panels neatly together before the reveal and gives your finished project a considered presentation from the moment it is handed over.
Build Your Surprise
- 1Choose the memories
Pick the photos and moments that tell one shared story. A few meaningful images feel stronger than trying to include everything.
- 2Plan the layers

- 3Decorate with feeling
Add handwritten notes, stickers, colorful paper details, and photos with the included pens, adhesive tape, and decorative pieces.
- 4Add the center gift
Place a small present in the central compartment, then test the folded cube before finishing the final details.
- 5Tie the ribbon
Fold the scrapbook panels back into the cube and close the ribbon. Keep the surprise wrapped until the moment feels right.

Made From Your Memories
The Card Isn’t Enough
You have a whole story in your camera roll, but a standard card can hold only a few flat lines. A framed photo captures one moment and leaves the rest of your favorite memories unseen.

Build The Feeling In
Choosing photos, writing small notes, and decorating each heart panel turns preparation into part of the romance. The supplies give you an approachable place to start, even if you are not a scrapbook expert.
Let It Unfold
The recipient starts with one ribbon-tied cube, then discovers colorful photo panels, messages, decorations, and a central gift one layer at a time. Your handful of favorite moments becomes one unforgettable personal surprise.

Questions and answers
The box arrives as a DIY scrapbook project. Choose your photos, write your messages, attach your decorations, add a small center gift, and fold the panels back into the ribbon-tied cube. The process is approachable, but personalizing every panel takes some quiet creative time.
Use printed photos that can be trimmed to the individual panel spaces. Smaller, flat prints work best because the box has layered folds. Plan the layout first and avoid bulky embellishments that could stop the cube from closing.
The center compartment is made for a small additional gift or keepsake. Choose the insert early and test the box closed before decorating every layer, since a bulky item can interrupt the folded structure.
You get the explosion box album, photo display panels, decorative paper sheets, stickers, ribbon, adhesive tape, pens, and a gift box insert. Together they cover the structure, decoration, writing, photo attachment, closure, and center reveal.
Yes. It suits anniversaries, proposals, birthdays, Valentine’s Day, weddings, date-night surprises, and other romantic celebrations. For more occasion ideas, browse our photo gifts collection.
The closed cube measures 15x15x15cm, making it compact to present and store. When opened, the folding sides spread into a larger layered display with heart panels, photo spaces, and the central compartment.
