First Box Card for Mothers Day

Ughh, what horrible weather we are having at the moment with all the smog, hope everyone is managing to stay safe and well.

Anyway, this was my first attempt at a box card and was for my mother in law for Mothers day.

The box was made from one piece of A4 card and decorated with papers from a Dovecraft 8 x 8 paper pack called Curiosty Corner. The flowers and butterflies are all cut using the Cameo and I used acetate strips to give more volume to the box:


I used Candi in the centre of each flower and Perfect Pearls in the butterflies. In the next photo you can see a butterfly in the right hand corner of the box which has been attached to a strip of acetate so that it appears to be flying:


I really enjoyed making this type of card although decorating it with the flowers was a little fiddly. I think I will be making this style of card quite a few times for friends.

Hope you liked the card and hope you all have a great weekend x
