Hello Friends. I am back
again. I wanted to share my very first card in a box/box card. I
know I am way behind the times. LOL! I usually wait until new
creations have been around a while; before trying them or buying them. I
have to admit this one looked like more than I could handle. I started it
once; then gave up. I was motivated by my dear friends Cheryl and Betty. Both of these friends were busy
creating these adorable cards in a box; while I sat back and envied them. I
finally called Cheryl; who instructed me over the phone; and gave me the
confidence to finally jump in and just do it. I have to admit it was
more intimidating than it should have been; mainly because of all the pieces
involved to create this type of card.
Betty had sent me a pattern to use on my Cricut Explore; but I decided to order a kit of 5 cards to try first. I thought it would be easier with the instructions; but it wasn't easier for me. LOL! The instructions are just pictures. The hardest part was trying to figure out what papers and cardstock to use. I finally cut everything out with the recommended colors and then figured out which ones I wanted to change. I have only completed one; but I thought it was really cute.
