I hopped on over, a few days ago, to 365 Cards and the first little challenge is to make a box of some sort to hold cards. Well I thought this was a fantastic idea for so many reasons, so I grabbed one of my silver Ikea boxes and got right to work. I used my craft room colors for the inspiration: Red, brown and pistachio green. This is what the final product looks like. I used SU paper from the Bella Rose, Rockabilly and Green Tea. For the inserts to separate types of cards, I used 2 colors of card stock also from SU. I rotated Riding Hood Red and Gable Green.
Then to trim the box, I used a few different items. Red cord, Moss Green Grosgrain ribbon, 2 white round brads, a few red buttons and some satin red ribbon for the bow.
This was an amazing project to do and I have officially crossed into altering items. This is going to become addictive isn't it. Hope you enjoyed this little box. Until next time
Happy Crafting
