21st BIRTHDAY CARD AND BOX

Hi and welcome to my blog all my craft loving
friends and visitors.
I do hope your weekend is going well, and that
you are all feeling okay.

Thank you for the comments on my shopping
bag.

I have a card and box I was asked to make for
a lady that contacted me, she was so impressed
with my blog that she wanted me to make a 
card and box for her Sons 21st Birthday.
She said he was a fan of anything vintage.
So this is what I came up with.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.


Now the inside.



The box.



This is a 8x8 size card and box to fit.
I distress inked the white card with Antique 
Linen Distress Ink to make it look vintage.
I matted with kraft card, and then cut out my
Grand Labels 1with gold mirri.
I then cut out the slightly smaller size in white
thin card and distressed this with Tea Die 
Distress Ink.
I then randomly stamped vintage images all
over to make it look like bought paper.
I added a computer sentiment to the  Nesting
Labels 1.
Finished my card off  with a Kanban Vintage
Topper, and some buttons from my stash.
The box I made to match with doubled up
card to make the box stronger , and then
decorated it to match.
The lady in question was very pleased with
the result.

Thank you again for your visit.
I hope you all have a wonderful crafty day.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

Hi Jenny, This card is gorgeous, I love the images you have used, and the background stamping is really lovely. As always, the box is every bit as gorgeous as the card within. I bet your lady was 'over the moon' with it.
