Has anyone seen these card boxes in their local markets or fairs ???? I got a couple a while back with a view to altering for presents. They are only about £2 each!!!! They come with some pretty naff cards in but I am puting a selection of my own in there. This one is for my Mum who is notoriously difficult to buy for.
The paper is K&CO that Jeremy chose especially for my Mum....good man!!!! The top label and butterfly base are Bazzill Bling. I used a doily to soften the edges a bit round the label and as an extra layer on the butterfly. I didn't glue right down on the butterfly so it stands out and flops a bit hehe!
I made new inserts as well from Bazzill cardstock and added some cards of my own!
Thank you for looking at this........its a present for only a few pounds but I know that it will be used!

An interesting idea for young children to enjoy isn't it like in the good old days of BP and stickyback plastic creations that we loved for five minutes and then binned when we had grown up a bit! The kids will love it though and theyc an store all their junk in them for a while til we have the next clear out for the bin men and charity shops! Thanks for the idea stikcy back plastic here we come!
