Birthday Card in a Box!!

Have you ever tried making a "Card in a Box" ? 

I had fun creating one for my grand niece's 3rd birthday. 

It must have been a 'hit' because my niece 

said her girls could not stop playing with it!! 

Check out this video for instructions:  

                  

Box: Harvest Gold card stock 

Patterned papers: Echo Park: hello Summer paper pad

Banners: Heart-2-Heart #5 dies; amber adhesive stars

Balloons: Heart-2-Heart #2 dies  Stars: Star Gazer dies

Cupcake: Tiny Treats:Valentine; copic markers; circle punch

"3": Modern Alphabet Numbers die; Dark Chocolate card stock

                

I mounted the balloons and star bursts onto narrow strips of 

clear acetate. They look like they're floating out of the box!!

I was in a rush to send this card and forgot to ask my husband 

to take a picture of the back. I added another panel of card stock 

so that I could stamp a sentiment and sign the 'card'.

Thanks for visiting today.
