Card in a Box

Well spring has finally arrived here in the UK. It is so nice to see the sun and spring flowers but it also means I can see all the jobs that need doing round the house and garden as well! Hence my lack of posts. We're doing a fairly major revamp of the garden to get rid of some of the very overgrown bushes, and I've had two large conifers taken out, which means a lot of empty space. I am going to put some more shrubs in but a lot less and more grass instead as it will be easier to manage.

Anyway when I did spend some time in the craft room I succumbed to making a card in a box which seem to be all the rage at the moment. To the extent that Craftwork Cards were selling kits for them on TV the other day.  Mine is not a kit - I made it and it is really quite easy.

I used the pretty Sweet Sorbet papers from Sale-a- Bration and the  co-ordinating stamp set Petal Parade.

 

 The leaves were punched out using the Owl Builder punch. The base card is Calypso Coral and I used Crisp Canteloupe, Pool Party and Pistachio pudding inks. The Happy Birthday  is Label Love with the matching punch.

  1. Very pretty card in a box. Love the papers and sring like colours. Gorgeous. I saw these on C&C too. Very simple to make so can't see why you would need an expensive kit! Have a good weekend in the garden. Hugs, Carol S.xx
