The perfect gift

Hi there! This is Cari here with you today. It looks like we're going to have a beautiful sunny day today ... which is so welcome around here as we've been having so much rain this year. Ok, ... on to my project that I want to share with you today.

Mother's Day is this coming Sunday and I just wanted to share with you something that would make the perfect gift.

I've taught this project as a class and it's super cute & easy to make.

It's a little gift box and inside are 4 cards - ready to give for any occasion. There's enough room to include envelopes as well.

The box: measures 5"(w) x 6" (H) x 1 1/2" (D)

The bottom of the box is made with some yellow cardstock - Core'dinations Vintage collection.

The lid is made using some patterned paper. I cut 4 strips of black cardstock and used a border punch on them to adhere around the edges of the lid.

I also made a box wrapper from striped paper and ribbon that helps to keep the box closed and it's also decorative.

Here are the four cards that I made to put inside. Each card measure 4" x 5".

Supplies used: Paper Trunk ( Rockabilly collection, Flair), ribbon, Prima flowers misted with yellow, Divine Twine, Core'dination Cardstock, My Stamp Box stamps, Colorbox inkpads, Fiskars border punches, EK Success punches (oval, circles, scallops), doilies, buttons, felt

Hope you're inspired to create something for your mother or a friend.
