#2 Mother's Day Challenge at My Creative Time

Today I have another Mother's Day Card that I will enter in the challenge at http://www.creativetimeforme.com/
I really liked the box cards so many people have been making and thought it would be fun to make for my Mom.  It was quite easy to put together and I found it was easier to decorate or stamp, the outside of the box first, before closing or adhering it into a box shape.  This was so fun to make with lots of flowers from
the Stitched Pretty Flowers & Leaves Dies from My Creative Time.  I was hand delivering this one so I could put the Scallop & Stitched Circle up higher.

Spellbinders Shapeabilities Foliage Two, was used for vines and leaves that I attached the flowers to.  I think next time I will make them 2 layers thick for a little more sturdiness.

I had a lot of fun playing with the flower die cuts, mixing and matching all of the shapes, sizes and cuts.  I watched quite a few videos and found some measurements to use to make my card.  I plan to make more of these box cards.  So great you can fold these flat and mail them in an A2 envelope.  Thank you for taking a look.  I do hope you will give this type of card a try.
