Of course we have to have something to put all those cards into, don't we?  Today we are taking a break from the cards so I could have a place to store the ones that were finished.  I had piles of cards sitting on a table.  Could be a recipe for disaster should Hobbes, my mangy cat decide he likes googly eyes and twine. I didn't really go through the process of creating the box on the video.  If you would like more information on how to make a box click here .  I just wanted to show you how I decorated it.  The box was made from plain white cardstock from the office supply section at Walmart.  The rest of the paper was from my stash or my scraps.  I didn't have quite enough striped paper to make all 4 boxes, so I made the 4th one from a great scrap from Penny's Playground.  I absolutely love this collection and am pretty much down to scraps.  I'll be sad when they're gone. It's going to be a tight fit to get all 8 cards in the ...

My beautiful daughter had a voice recital on Saturday.  Her voice teacher asked her to find her own accompanist so we asked a friend.  Elise performed 3 pieces and  one of them was particularly difficult for the pianist to play because it had 6 sharps.  We really appreciate our friend playing for us.  As a thank you gift I made this little gift box and placed a set of 8 cards from a previous post in it. The inside of the box had plenty of room to hold 8 cards and envelopes.  You can view the tutorial for the cards by clicking here . I hope you enjoy the video.  Thanks for watching!
