Box Card

Do you get a lot of really pretty Christmas cards...??? This year we got so many outstanding cards... I love them all.. One dear friend, Ann by name... LOL... she knows this anyway... but jsut had to say her name with this wonderful card... Anyway, she sent me a beautiful card... I studied it and then made this one...
It is a gate card... but when you open it, it has a surprise... Look below for the surprise...

I love this card... It is for a Birthday card...
The front has the circle made from the Blue Hill Lotus punch... and then I added another layer also made with another style Blue Hill punch...

I made the flower using a Spellbinder flower die...

There are 8 layers on this flower.... I used Mustard seed distress ink on the petals....

The leaves are from Pretties By Bonnie
And the ribbon goes around the card to hold this surprise in place...

When you open this gate card, you will find a box... wow... how special is that... 

You can put all kinds of items in there... but I put a lot of little tags with special messages on the tags...

They hopefully will fall out when the card is opened... and the tag with LOVE can now be seen a lot better...

What a card... I love this style Ann... thanks for sharing this with me... I am going to try and make a few more... they are really neat...
How special is Ann that she shares this with me... and then I can share this with you... I am going to make a few more and then I will share the directions with you too...

Are you still spreading JOY... please do... and add a little love too... it certainly doens't hurt... Glenn and I have always practiced that what you give out, you get back two fold... this workds the same way... so spread it generously... with gusto!!!!!

Thanks for stopping by... I really love it... I would love to have you join the group that follows too.. I am wanting a group of 300... as I have a lot of fun things to give away... the pile had to be moved into another box... it is growing... wow... ...

Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie

    This is an amazing card and I love the idea of all the "love" on the inside.
    Blue Hill punches are really pretty.
