Fifty Anniversaries - In a Box

I just love the versatility of the "card in a box" design!  So much fun to play with.

My boss needs a special 50th Wedding Anniversary for friends of hers and since she loves the birthday cards we made last weekend, I thought this would be a great way to make something extra special.  Turned out pretty good.  The only downfall that I didn't think of until it was almost too late was that the Very Vanilla card stock (and the Whisper White) is a lighter weight card stock and started to tear a little at one of the corners.


I was able to fix the problem with our gold washi tape wrapped around the top of the box.  You can see it a little in the picture below.


Some of the first Card in a Box cards I saw kept the flaps turned up to hide whatever was inside as a surprise, but as I was working with one over the weekend, I decided it looked better with two of the flaps down so you can see how it works.  What do you think?


Thank you for looking in today.  Happy Wednesday!
