I am now on Sherri Baldy's My Besties Video team on Youtube. I will be making monthly videos, and sometimes videos more often than that. This is one of first videos that i have released..but it isn't my first video using My Besties as my main focus.
This blog post is a follow-up to my Youtube Video making pumpkin boxes and an Easel card with Sherri Baldy's image
How did i come up with this idea? First, a DT friend, Miranda created a present box easel card and she shared her instructions here and the desire to create these became really popular. I wanted to do something different and came across a Pinterest post w/a video showing how to make pumpkin boxes using a Box board (similar to the Envelope board) and i really didn't want to buy the box board, so i went searching for a way to make a 1" box and came across another video on Pinterest showing how to make a 1" box. I knew i'd like another 1.5" box so i asked my mathematical husband if he could figure the dimensions..and instantly he did. Yay.
So i will share all the links below..so you can also see how i formulated this concept..and maybe you will have a better idea. :)

I was really excited to try this new shape easel card. I used my cricut to make the card using Dreams do come true cartridge. I welded the teacups together added another teacup and then added the layer teacup. i stitched around the last layer to make a pocket to hold the "gift" (money). I added the Greeting Farm Mad Hatter and teacup to the card for the "mad" theme.
