P.S.  I am working on my second Net card and I will share it later today.

Casing Net

Hello,

My second post today.  I just finished this card.  And I didn't want to wait any longer.

I cased this net from here.  Can't compare to her beautiful work. But,  hey, I thought it came out pretty good.  I used sewing thread that's why the net looks loosed and my net is double layers.  The original net is single layer and I think I knew how to make it.   Well, I am off to make another one.

Thanks for looking!

Hello,

Thanks again for stopping by today.  A quick post today.  I really like how this card turn out.  I stamped extra flowers when I made the Easter cards.  I didn't want to waste it so I made this card.

Ghirardelli Box

Good Morning,
Isn't this box cute! I made this box to go with the birthday card that I gave to a friend (Heather).
This is the front view.

Here is the side view.

 Here is the box open.

The inspiration came from here.  I changed a little here and there to fit my need.

The box measured 2 x 2 x 1(height).

Here are the supplies I used.  I forgot to add the round tap punch for the handle.

(1) 4 x 4 for the box - score 1" all around
 (1) 2 x 3 for the lid - score 1" on the long side
(2) 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 card stocks
(2) 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 pattern papers

Cut the box as in the picture and glue the corners to create the box.  Glue the lid on.  Then glue the box panel on the bottom and on the lid.  The wrap around band is 1 x 8 inches.  No score line needed.  Just wrap the band around the box and added Velcro under the flower.

I used coffee filters for the flower.  I always like the texture of the coffee filters.  So I took the opportunity and made the flower.  It was hard to punch the coffer filters by itself.  But if you place a 20 lbs. printing paper under neath the coffer filter and punch them together, it work great.

Here are the card and the box.  I did add pearls on the "PP" flowers before I gave to Heather.  I personally delivered  the card and the box to Heather (she lives down the block) and guess what these are her favorite colors.  She was wearing a purple shirt and just dyed a purple baby carrier blanket.

Anyhoo, thanks for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Crochet flowers TopNote boxes

Hello,

I made this box a while ago but hesitated to share.  I didn't really like the box.  It's too busy!  See it for yourself.

This is the top of the box.

Here is the front of the box.

Here is the side and the back.

 This box is pretty big. It measured 2 x 4 x 2.

Thanks for looking and thank you to those who take the time to leave me a comment.
