Back to Basics – Boxed Card Set

in life •  7 years ago  (edited)

I started with the usual 2 pieces of contrasting card for the box and lid. I also chose the card blanks I would use so the box had a chance of being the right size.

I scored all sides at 1.25 inches (a little smaller than the last box, to make a bigger box).

Then I cut the triangles out (I got it right this time!)

I folded all the card blanks and glued the base matt to them – I chose seven colours and tried to match them as close to the rainbow as I could.

I cut out seven fairies (one’s a mermaid, but who’s counting?) in the same card I’d used for the matts and arranged them all so they went onto contrasting cards as toppers.

They look nice in the box.

Then I added the lid. I chose a spectacular foiled card for this one. I think it works well.

Now... who to give it to?
