Good Afternoon Stampers!
I am so excited to share this project with you today. I was searching through the internet and found a wonderful tutorial written by Jackie Topa for the Father's Day Trio Suit Card. I loved the card but I wanted to do something a little different and so this creation came to life. For Father's Day I had decided I wanted to make my husband a card and box for his gift. I started thinking about it and I came up with this great idea of taking the card and making it into a box too. I made the card and then I created a box and a sleeve for it. Afterwards, I attached the card to the front of the box. I love it!! Now I have a card and box all in one. It is perfect for placing your Father's Day gift inside and the top where the card opens is perfect for your Father's Day message. You can also place a velcro on the inside flap so it will stay closed. This box is also perfect for pictures. Just make an accordion and attach pictures. Whatta ya think? I think it is absolutely dazzling!!
Here is a picture of what the box will look like when open. I think the shredded paper inside adds a nice contrast when the box is open. So what are you giving your Father or husband for Father's Day? Watch, tie, socks, cologne, tickets to an event? These are great items that will fit in this dazzling card and box in one.
I was so excited about this card and box in one and knew you would be too, soooooooooo I created a tutorial for it. Again, I was inspired to this tutorial by the tutorial I found written by Jackie Topa for the Father's Day Trio Suit Card. I simply re-wrote the tutorial in my own words and took pictures. I also added additional steps in order to create the project I had in mind. The creation and dimensions of the box is my original creation and all the instructions for creating the box are also included in this dazzling tutorial.

How stinkin' cute. Love It! you are so right it is dazzling! It looks so classic. You could make this for a Best Man & he could give it to the groom or the groom could give his gifts out in this... now all we have to do is come up with one for a bride & maid of honor...
