Inside Box Card

Hello

To create this inside box card I used papers and stamps from Stampin'up, and dies from Spellbinders and Kaszazz.

The front of the white card base is matted with deep red card and patterned paper, and the focal image die cut and layered, was mounted centrally on top with some die cut leaves and a stamped and die cut greeting tucked in.

The inside box section was covered in paper and the centre die cut, with the cut out piece attached to the inside front of the card with a stamped smaller die cut for the greeting. The inside back of the card was papered with a focal panel which was layered on to dark red paper. The box section was taped to the front piece then folded over and attached to the back side.

A die cut lacy border was added. Stickles glitter glue was applied to the flowers inside the box.

Gems and glitter glue were added to the card front to highlight.
