My 1st envelope gift box!

Hello ladies....I received an email today about this envelop gift box from splitcoast stampers...I just had to try it. I actually made 2 of these boxes. I planned on it fitting my black magic card that I made for my mom's birthday (posted yesterday), but The box was too small...this is the first pic (my 1st try) followed demensions on split coast stampers....click on title to take you to the link...


For that one I used Cuttlebug argyle folder , used finger nail file to sand it. Added white ribbon and lace, also used sizzix flower folder and crumpled the flowers. added some more lace to middle and pearl sprays, and 2 pearl pins...but then I found out the card did not fit...so I modified...which those are pics 3 - 6....the last pic is of the card and box together...I am pretty sure she will love it.




2nd card I made it 10 X 12 and then added 1/2 " to score lines and for the top I cut it on an angle.....you can see the angle in the 4th picture....I used swissdots and swirls cuttlebug folders....added lace, ribbon, and the left over flowers off the first one....I hope all of you like these and try them yourself...very easy.


Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone is having a wonderful night.
