Box o’ Cards

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

2boxesIn my Box-a-licious post the other day I showed you the gift bag I’d made from the Easy Box Tutorial.

Well here are the two boxes I’ve made using that tutorial.

These boxes are easy and quick to make and will make lovely gifts for friends and family. You can pop a small present inside or even a selection of small cards.

4x4cardsnboxThe one I’m showing today is an adaptation of that bag. I have given it a flap and ribbon closure and inside there are four 4×4 cards inside.

I’ve made this one using the Spring flowers Designer Series Papers and the Simply Said stamp set. This is a great set and you get 11 stamps for under $50 - cant beat that!!

Below is a side on picture of the box with the selection of cards inside. As you can see they fit perfectly inside. I’ve used ribbon to tie mine closed but you could also use small velcro dots or small magnets to hold it all closed.

So get a start on your christmas presents and book in for this class today.

Here is a picture of the complete set - it will make a lovely gift dont you think?
