New Envelobox

Hi everyone

Apart from trying to get my laptop sorted out, (which is driving me barmy) I have also been trying to get some things finished as I am running out of time to get these cards and enveloboxes finished.

I have already finished the Baby Girl card which was posted a couple of days ago.  Here is the envelobox that I have finished for this card.  I had measured everything out to accommodate the width and depth of the card, (or so I had thought).  Last night I went to put the card into the box and realised that there is a 1/2 of a difference to make the card fit into the box.   AAAAARRRGGGHHH!!!  So it means that today, I am going to have to go and buy 12 x 12 card in order to get the boxes sized properly, as A4 is just not going to be big enough.

So what I have done for the box is to cut off the front of the box and once I get the correct size of card, I will renew the back of the box and that should be sorted.  I then have to complete the Baby Boy card (which is the same as the Baby Girl card) and the box.  Hopefully, these will be completed today.

So onto the box, I cut out an oval shape from the front of the box using Spellbinders Opulent Ovals and then put various roses around the side of the oval.  I then attached 3 pink ferns with 'stringy' pearls on the left hand side.  I also attached a lovely piece of bling at the top of the box and finished it off with a large double white bow with a large dazzler on top.






I do hope that you like my envelobox, even though it isn't completely finished yet.

  4. WOW, Jen! Magnificent. Love the pearls. I've never thought to use those on a card (or a card box) but I'm definitely going to start. Thanks for the inspiration. :-D
