Birthday box card

Hi guys,

How is everyone doing.. Can you believe it that half the year is already gone.. Time flies really... I have been busy with work lately so my blog is relatively quiet.. Doesn't mean I haven't been crafting for I have been crafting non-stop...It's amazing to just be able to channelize your energy into creative output...

This birthday card is for a VERY special friend.. The one person with whom I may not talk everyday or even every week.. But whenever we do speak it's like the gaps weren't there ever....

I won't ramble much.. Just showing you the pics at one go.. In essence it follows the same pattern as my last box card because I was short of time and I really did not have time to go over the top with it.. I made this card in 4 hours and it was a huge ask considering the heat has been absolutely killer and drains me even while am working in my room with the air conditioner on...Pheww...!!

tweety on the lid.. I LOVE tweety...

die cuts on all 4 sides for writing

open view... I still love the tweety....

tags on opposite pockets

die cuts on one wall...

It is a PINK card yet again I know.. But I just cannot help it.. I have caught an unusual fascination for shades of pink... :D

Simple and nothing fancy.. Lots of cutting and all though.. :D

Card stock=> Locally bought

PPs=> DCWV purchased from Mansi

To bestie with love!

Hello,

Am back AGAIN with another card which I made on order.. Someone wanted to give  card to their best friend who she was meeting after a year.. The idea appealed to me.. It's been like forever since I saw my best buddy... So keeping my best buddy in mind plus the specifications the customer had.. I made a box card...

The box card is really fun to make and gives enough space to scribble if a person enjoy scribbling.. I love writing mush on my cards.. Nothing beats a few handwritten words...Especially to a friend you are meeting after ages...

So here goes the lid of the box (top view)

This is how the lid looks... The recipient is a butterfly lover and when I think of butterfly I am reminded of Tejal so this card is actually conceptualized based on what I would want to give to my bestie incorporating Tejal's love for butterflies... :D.. Thanks Tee... you truly are an inspiration!!

Side view 1:

This is how my box looks standing from one angle...

The other view:-

This is another angle.. I've made tag pockets on the two opposite "walls" of the box and put in a couple of tags.. Just to ensure the customer has enough space to express her love for her bestie..!!

Now the box card after it has opened:-

I love the color combo.. I know it's PINK but well Pink really does go well with the occasion...

Giving u detailed shots of the individual panels

 

This is the center of the box with the sentiment.. I absolutely love this sentiment and is so true about friends and times spent with them.. It is a memory we cherish forever...!!

The side inside walls...

Journaling tag sentiment.. perfect for friends...

Lots of adjectives used to describe the friendship between my customer and the recipient...

Another journaling tag... Journaling tags make life easy and solve a lot of my embellishing problems.. :D

And a cute digi of two friends holding hands and the box card is complete...
