Box Card

Hello Lovely Friends and Card Making Enthusiasts!  Laura here with a “berry sweet” Mother’s Day box card.

My mom loves her yard and this time of year she is always outside planting something; vegetables, flowers, bushes…  She takes great pride in her efforts and she truly does have the prettiest yard in her neighborhood.  So her Mother’s Day card is always garden themed.

This is Strawberry Yummy Tilda from the Magnolia 2011 Sweet Rainbow collection colored up with Copic Markers and accented with Distress Inks.  Oh My Goodness!  Have you seen all of the new Magnolia stamps we have in the store?  I’m so excited!  You can check them out HERE.

I’ve seen these adorable surprise boxes all over the internet lately and decided to give one a try.  I had to make several because it took a while to figure out the dimensions to accommodate my image and still fit into a regular envelope.  The post office seems to frown upon square envelopes and so I wanted this to fit into a 5 x 7.

Here is the back side of the card where I later wrote mom a little note.

Here is the card almost flattened out.

I used some brands and pearls which made it a little thick but it still fit into the envelope nicely.
