Hi there and thanks for stopping by. As I state in the video this is a box for that super special card that you spent so much time to make. It will protect said card and be a gift on it’s own. Check out the pictures and make sure to say a big hello to my friend Karen who inspired me to make this for you.

Susanne, that was a beautiful card & box Karen sent you, no wonder it inspired you to make your own version…..Mom
She’s very nice to give away such a nice creation. 🙂
Oh my gosh, I am blushing with so much praise! So glad you like the card and box; it is a simple box, made so much more when made from gorgeous cardstock. 10 out of 10 for your version, I love the decoration on your bellyband, so elegant! I loved the Champagne Glimmer Paper and I am sorry SU retired it. As for my ‘perfect’ bellyband; the one that is on the box was the third attempt – first was too tight, second was wonky! I have made this style of box before, but I found that particular one on a UK demo’s blog – Crafty Caroline Creates – so the credit should go to her. I am no good at resizing and her size was perfect for a standard UK A6 card. I make a lot of dimensional cards (I am a Quiller) and a lot of my cards are odd sizes, but I am getting better at resizing the boxes thanks to the SU Simply Scored board – I do the same as you, click along the grooves with the tool, though not always successfully! I love your version of the box, and as usual, you demonstrated the make perfectly. 😉
Stunning is an understatement! Gah
