Welcome to today's special BLOG HOP with the Design Team for the Create with Connie and Mary Card "Create"tions Collection. I am super excited to be a part of the team, this is such a talented group of ladies. If you are following the loop, you should be coming from
Melissa Davie's blog, she is such an amazing artist! I always get inspired to create when I see her work!
For my card, I decided to go big and try something new. So, I made a card in a box since I have seen so many cute ideas floating around. I have to say, this is such a FUN design! I know I will be doing more of these, they are really fun to create.
Isn't this a fun, bright card! I love the color combo of Pear Pizzaz, Tangerine Tango and Daffodil Delight. They are the perfect colors for a floral Mother's Day card.
Here's a look from the top, you can see the greeting better from this angle. I wanted the card to fold flat and fit into an envelope, so I attached the greeting to the second insert inside the card. Here's a look at it folded.
As I put the card together, I frequently folded it to make sure nothing was sticking out too far. This card will need to travel to my Mom in the mail in a couple months!
I went pretty basic with the box itself, polka dot paper from the Bold Brights DSP Pack are on all sides. I started layering flowers and leaves in next.
Here's the other side, I kept things uniformed.
The back of the card has leaves and flowers stamped plus the greeting. There is a little boo-boo that I will have to find a way to fix...baby Samuel was being a fussy guy and I set the card on top of my open Daffodil ink pad....not a good thing! But, boo-boo's happen to everyone, so you just have to go with the flow! If the card wasn't already complete and the baby wasn't crying, the perfectionist in me would have ripped off the back and done a new one. I am sure my Mom will understand!
Well, I hope you enjoyed my bold and bright Mother's Day card. The next stop is
Debbie Henderson's blog, she always has something beautiful to inspire us with. So, enjoy all the wonderful ideas as you travel along with us!

I am so in love with these cards also as I've made several and you can add anything you wish to them. Love how you made this one into a Mother's Day card and the colors are so bright and springy!
I have seen pictures of cards in a box and always wanted to try one and you have just inspired me to do so. This card is wonderful and although I won't use it on Mother's day I can think of a dozen or so uses for a card like this. Your color combo is great and bright. Great idea. Thanks
I have never tried a card in a box. I have wanted to try one. Thanks for the inspiration! I do love those bright cheery colors! And it's so creative and fun! Love it!
I love these cards in a box. They are so much fun.

I cannot wait to CASE this!
Great, Nicole!
Wow, what a bright and beautiful card, and it actually matches the Connie & Mary badge! I love all the details, and how the leaf on the back panel is extended with the leaf die cut. Awesome!
I haven't tried a card in a box yet but this one you made has inspired me to try one. Love your color combo.
Beautiful. I have to try to make one of these. I love your color and stamp choices.
