Mothers Day card


The finished product


This is a Mothers Day card that a friend asked me to make. The lid does not cover the full length of the box therefore the sides are only decorated at  the bottom of the lid with a ribbon.

The smallest exploding box
This picture shows the smallest box before being attached to the bigger sized one. On the left side you can see a small card which is blank on the inside leaving it avaliable for the customer to write their own message (this card is one of a kind so this feature may not be available for other cards purchased).
