Recently I finished teaching a box and card set with Graphic 45's Couture line. I kept the box and cards simple so the set could be made in a 3 hour class. The cards don't have too many thick embellishments on them so 5 could fit in the box.
Rather than decorating the whole box I put the elegant peacock paper on the backside of it and made a belly band that slides on and off. The picture and layer behind it are die cut with ovals and the peacock feather is tucked behind them. I put a little piece of black paper behind the heart opening and inked the edges black.
I used the whole sheet called "Beautiful" for the belly band and cards. It was the inspiration for this class. Here are the 5 cards. They all have black bases and are A-2 sized.
Tiny flowers are made by Maya Road.
The pearl and rhinestone flower is made by Maya Road.
The scroll die cut is by My Favorite Things.
I taught this class 9 times. The boxed set is good for a gift and many students made duplicates. I had a great time designing this class and teaching it too!
