Have you ever wondered how to make a box in a card? No. Well, you’re probably not alone.
For whatever reason I get it stuck in my head that I wanted to make a card that had a box in it. A box in a card.
Today’s share is the result of my idea. I think I’ve seen this concept somewhere but I can’t remember where.
Frankly, if you’re anything like me, you spend so many hours looking at ideas on Pinterest and blogs you can’t always remember if your ideas are your own or have been manifested from seeing something that sparked an idea.
Either way, this box in a card is cute.

What a cute idea. Thinking this might work for my Class of 71 ladies luncheon in April-using spring color DSP and for the inside box lottery scratchers.
71!! You better get busy LOL
Love the box.. a very honest tutorial.. for how we find out an easier way after we do it after we make it.
To answer the question about procrastination: I believe that as we get older, we think we have more time than we really do. Sometimes we don’t allow for life happening, or naps to re-energize, and we run out of the extra oomph we need to get those extra special things done. I’m a 76 yr ( grew up on a dairy farm in Pa) gal. My Grammy worked hard but she always took a “rest” after lunch. She lived to be 97. God bless you.
Thank you!
Love this box! Super cute idea! Thanks for sharing.
