Box Card


Here's another project from last year that I hadn't posted. This was my first attempt at making a box card. I created this last November for a very special little girl who was celebrating her first birthday.


I had loads of fun with this project. Her mom had said she loves flowers and butterflies and all things girly, so naturally I had a field day creating the card!


I used papers and stickers from KaiserCraft's Bonjour collection for the box card, which was made using a piece of matching cardstock, and added some muslin, ribbons, and flowers from Prima and KaiserCraft, to create a soft, garden-like effect. I also used pop-up foam dots for the hand-cut pieces to create depth and dimension.


Here's a look at the inside piece of the card before I placed it into the "box".
