Boxes Galore!

This week's challenge at The Sisterhood of Crafters is a 3x3 notecard box based on the Splitcoast Stampers tutorial. This was my first time making one and I wanted to use it not for notecards, but for little gifts to go with a couple of cards I'd made recently.


For this one, I recreated my two layer Verve flower and used another sentiment from the Feel the Sun stamp set. This was my first box and I tried using the large scalloped edge...note to self.....this works like crap - don't try it again! (The photo shows the two "better" sides!)


The second box used the small scalloped edge and worked much better. Again, I tried to match it with my card and used more Feel the Sun images and sentiments.


And here's the final products together, perfect for the gifts I have planned! Now give it a try and let us see your best 3x3 notecard.

It's my challenge next week and I can't wait to see what all of you talented crafters come up with!

  5. Wonderful boxes Tanis! They go beautifully with your fabulous cards. Aren't those boxes handy? And they aren't really too hard to make are they? Lovely dimension on both of them.

  7. Love the two boxes you made, Tannis :D Great DPs and such a nice package to go with the card or put cards in. Love those Verve flowers (both on my wish list). For the hassle of the large scallops, they look great!
