Punched Blossom Notecards and Framelit Box

Here's a cute little set of cards I made, along with a matching box. I was inspired by the "Fresh Cuts" notecards that were in our old catalogue. I made my own version using the Blossom Punch and some plain old white cardstock:

Here's how they sit inside the little box:

The lid of the box is 2 Framelits, folded to fit over the rim, and adhered at one end. It is held in place by the Belly band. I like to make my Belly Bands stretchy by hiding a piece of elastic (just stapled to the ribbon because I'm not a sewer). The smaller framelit hides the elastic.
Here's a closer view of the cards:

I've used "Attic Boutique" DSP (in the Autumn-Winter Mini) behind the flowers. The nice thing about this design is that both sides of the DSP are visible - you can see the reverse pattern on the inside. I used the 2 different Triple Layer punches for the centre and finished off with a pretty brad/button. I designed these cards to fit inside our small square envelopes.
Only 5 sleeps until Convention!



P.S I've just finished reading the "Chaos Walking" series by Patrick Ness. It's technically teen fiction (I read a lot of Amy's books these days and we chat about them) but I loved it. It had me from the very first line of the very first book. And I don't think I've eveer been so affected by the death of a fictional character (I absolutely bawled) since George O'Malley died on Grey's Anatomy or Dobby in Harry Potter. I still keep waiting for them to be somehow magically resurrected...
