Happy Birthday Box Card

Hello!  Thanks for stopping by

 

I have had a box card on my wish list for quite some time.  I've seen so many extravagant box cards and also some simple cards.

 

I study up on how I want to go about a card via Youtube, Pinterest and Google.  How do you get inspiration or instructions?

 

I found the exact size I wanted and rolled with it.  It truly is not that hard to make.  I found the hardest part deciding how I wanted to place the embellishments.

 

I started out with the 12x12 white base I wanted.  Using my scoring board and cutter, I cut and scored where needed.  Ending with the box base to be decorated. 

 

 

I then cut all of my panels needed.  I knew I wanted the card to be bright and fun for a 7th birthday card.

 

 

 

After I had all of my panels cut,  I used scor tape for a secure hold .

 

 

I assembled placed all of the panels onto the box base before I made the final box.  After reading several tutorials, I came to the conclusion that placing the panels on flat would be easiest.  I agree, it would have been tough to do with the box already in box formation.

 

 

Next step was to place the dividers into the center.  I used glue for this.  I wanted a tiny bit of leeway to move it around if need be.

 

Next task was to decide what embellishments I was going to use.  I decided on the Die-Versions stamp set, Make-a-Wish-Stamps and Make-a-Wish-Dies.  I colored in each embellishment with colored pencils and used stickles to accent the confetti. I also added some twine to the balloon strings.

 

Placing these embellishments seemed to be my hardest task of the entire project.  I used transparency film to hold the embellishments.  I knew I wanted a few to be higher than the first layers.  Here is a look from the top.  I ended up covering the original white dividers I had in there.  Using the colorful cardstock from the panels.

 

 

 

It turned out so gorgeous and I am so happy with it.  I can see this style will become my go to and additive card.

 

The celebrate banner came from craftindesertdivas and the banner die cut came from Simon Says Stamp.

 

What kiddo doesn't like a personalized item.. Especially, names you can never find.  Karleigh came from the beautiful set from Studiol2e - Wuwu set

 

The back panel can be used for more embellishments or for your note to the person receiving.  It was 1 am when I was finishing this, so I went with a simple note on the back with some stamps from Craftin' Desert Divas

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I'd love to hear your feedback..
