Birthday Card Box!

Hello!

Today I'm going to share a photo/card box that I decorated as a gift for my older sister
 ... shhhh, don't tell her ... I haven't given it to her yet :)

I am planning to give her a few boxes of hand-made cards to have at her disposal ... and thought that the following box would be perfect to decorate for holding birthday cards!


As you can see I kept the top of the box flat (along with the sides) ... this way she can stack the boxes on top of each other without having to worry!


I used banners on both the front and side to add the celebratory effect and used buttons and ribbon on the front to add that extra dimension.  Frosted Designs posted a challenge to use banners on a project ... so I thought this would be a great entry!


The box looks great full of cards ... and keeps things nice and organized!


Thanks for stopping in today!
Check in tomorrow for some more creations!
