I have just had two days off the computer after stressing over a card for about three days and realising this was supposed to be a fun hobby.Stress now gone and even managed a play "just because"I saw a
link on docrafts how to make these and decided to have a go and how easy???A card in a box just uses an A4 piece of card and I used Graphic 45 papers and a couple of dies,I am pleased how it turned out for a first attempt but there are some great ones out there,will definitely have another go.Hope you are all keeping dry-still raining here but had a sunny day yesterday even got washing dry!OMG two cats tearing round the house like idiots after refusing to go out in the rain!!!I would also lie to say welcome to my new followers Anet-

Great card in a box, hope you enjoy your hobby more this week. Great idea to just turn it off for a couple of days. Maddy x
ReplyDeleteCarol, this is Beautiful and I love the idea of 'a card in a box' ....it's so interactive and exciting with all its 'wow factor' details. Your colours and embellishments are stunning and so uplifting ....you've certainly chased away my winter blues so a big Thank You. You sound as though you enjoyed 'crafting for fun' .....that really shows in this great project and surely the most important element of great crafting is fun.
ReplyDeleteLol re your cats .....my two boys are exactly the same.
Love Ingrid xxx ♥
