Step 3

Die cut the sentiment 'Happy Birthday' from white card and the shadow from Violet Rinea foiled paper. Adhere all the panels together and the sentiment.

How to make a matching box

Step 1

Using 'Emerald Box Kit 5x7'' ' by Card Making Magic and white card, create two panels for the box, one blank and one with the elegant detail.

Step 2

Fold all the flaps of the panels, but don't adhere the sides, use Distress Oxide ink and ink blending tool to apply the color onto the front of the box.

Then, used the same lavender ribbon and thread it through the small openings.

Step 3

Make a bow using the ribbon, then assemble the box together. 

Next, add any die cut flowers, leaves and butterflies and add gems for extra sparkle.

Your project is complete :)

There is some extra space in the box so you can add any sweets of your choice ;)
