Hello, I hope you are well.
Today I have a YouTube tutorial to show you how to make a really fancy Easter card that comes in it’s own box…
When you open the box it reveals the concertina card inside…
I used a whole heap of products to create this fun card including punches, dies, stamps, designer series paper, ink and card. It was definitely a labour of love!
I’d love you to click on the image below to check out my card in a box in more detail and to see how I constructed and decorated it…
