Happy Monday, friends
Welcome to Episode 2 of the More Than The Page series — where paper becomes interactive and writing finds unexpected places to live.
In today’s video, I’ll walk you step-by-step through creating this beginner-friendly ephemera piece featuring a pop-up writing space and several hidden areas for secret words. I love the quiet mystery of lifting a flap and discovering space tucked within layers — it feels like story waiting to be told.
If you follow the template and measurements, you’ll have great success. The structure is simple, but the interactive element makes it feel special.
Perfection is not at play in the studio — just creative exploration.
I hope you enjoy creating along with me.
