Surprise in a Box

Here is a box that I created today that I call "Surprise in a Box". I was playing around with some scrap paper and wanted to make a box that I could cover from the top. I used a 2" ribbon for the bow which is a little too big but I used it anyway. I also used the "top note" die from SU for the top layer for the box cover. You can also use the box to include note cards which I will try it out next. Anyway I had a good time this weekend at my Christmas craft class. Everyone had fun making all the Christmas goodies. Thanks for stopping by and Have a Great Thanksgiving week!!

Laying Nora "Flat box" and Lesa

Here's a fun gift box that I figured out last night. I was looking at boxes online and found something that you could purchase from China. I thought that I could figure this out on my own and here it is. You could actually fit a gift card in the box for a gift but since I didn't have one on hand I just added some candy until I can get a card. I'm using CC Designs Laying Nora which fits perfect on the box. This box measures are 3-1/2" wide x 2-1/4" D x 1" high. This box can actually lay totally flat but I didn't get a picture of that. I used a velcro to close the flap. Hope you all have a Great Weekend!!

Here's another card using CC Designs Lesa. I really didn't know what I was creating since I was just in the mood of coloring images but decided to make this Z fold card. It turned out pretty good I think. I used up most of my cards that I created in the past and wanted to add more to my box for when I need them, this is the reason I just left it blank for now. I always get requests for blank cards so this will be added to my stash. It's not really my kind of colors but it turned out okay I guess.
