For a Friend :)

Published by Michele Boyer at 11:19 am under Lizzie Anne Designs, My Designs

EDITED to answer some questions…

The box is 3 1/4″ x 3 1/4″ x 1″.  It will hold about four cards, but the envelopes do not fit.  The box is held closed by a little slot (on the box) and a little cut out flap (on the flap).  If you look closely, you can see it above the flower.  Thanks for the questions, Tara!  FAF3

I made this to hold a special little gift for a friend, but now I’ve decided to save the gift for Christmas.  So I’ll just save the card and box for something else. :)

Here’s what I did…I started with a Bravo Burgundy Stampin’ Up Bloomin’ Box.  (I know that pic doesn’t look like burgundy…I couldn’t seem to adjust the color properly.)  I used Tombow Mono Multi to hold the box together.  It works just as well as tacky tape and is much more economical. 

I cut pieces of the patterned paper to fit the front, back and flap, using a craft knife to cut the openings for the box closure (a slit on the flap, a slot on the front).  For the handle, I cut a 6″ x 5/8″ strip of burgundy cardstock, scored and folded 1/4″ in from each short side and glued each end to the inside of the flap.

The flowers are from Lizzie Anne Designs Funky Floral set.  I stamped them in Bravo Burgundy onto Vanilla cardstock, cut out and attached with brads. 

Thanks for looking, and have a great day!

    What a beautiful box and card! How big is the box? Does it hold more than the one card? If so, how many? and what did you use to close the box? I love the pattern and flowers! Gorgeous!
