Make It Monday Box Card
Welcome back to another Make It Monday blog post. Polly Robin here and today I’m going to make a pirate themed box card for my pirate-obsessed nephew. I chose to use Project Mouse (Pirates) by Sahlin Studio and Brittish Designs because it had such great elements.
Isn’t it fun?! For this card, I downloaded a box SVG and cut it from black heavyweight cardstock for my base. Then I cut 2 inch squares and 2 rectangles from three different papers in the kit to use for the panels:
Next, I cut out a bunch of different elements so that I’d have plenty to choose from when I assembled the box:
Okay, now for the fun part! First, I used the red stripe and polka dot papers to decorate the outside of the box:
Then, I used the printed paper for the inside of the box:
Next I just needed to glue the inside strips and the panel together to actually form my box:
Finally, I put the fun elements inside, added a sentiment, my card is done!
The great thing is it also folds flat for mailing so no extra postage for me????
Thanks for taking a peek at my process and hope you like the card as much as I know my nephew will! See y’all next month with another Make It Monday blog post.
