Oh my. I do love the art work of Beatrix Potter.
I purchase several card making magazines from the United Kingdom monthly. What is disappointing about those mags is that we always get them 2 to 3 months after they are released overseas. If I want a sneak peak I have to go to their website to see what will be in the next issues. You can imagine my excitement to see that they posted a free download to make this amazing box card. The artwork is from The Crafters Companion which I just showcased earlier this week on my blog.
I printed this card on card stock using my home ink jet printer. Since the
free download was meant to go with the magazine, I didn't have the instructions for assembly, but I did manage to build the card after staring at their online photo for a bit. I know it is early in the season, but doesn't it make you think of the winter holidays?
Here is the link if you want to make one for yourself!
Naturally, I could not resist making a box for this special card. I learned how to do this last week after watching the Crafters Companion DVD! This card is so special only one person will probably receive it this December. My Mom!
