I made this card for a lady's 65th birthday. The CD I bought with some Christmas money and is the Debbi Moore Splendour of Regency. It is a 3CD set and has some absolutely fabulous images on there to use. I did a concertina card with 3 A5 sides on each side and used 4 of the same decoupage images in 4 different colours. For the front of the card I used another of the toppers. The flowers were die-cut from a book and distressed with various Tim Holtz distressing inks to match the papers ie Tumbled Glass, Tattered Rose, Forest Moss and Antique Linen. All have matching brad centres. I have used ribbon off the topper sheets, a Craftwork cards sentiment and verse on the computer to finish off the card.
For the box I did print off an A4 one from the CD but as I had made the card A5 concertina it wouldn't fit in so I had to make my box with the Crafter's Companion Boxer board. It took me two attempts as no matter how hard I try it is very difficult to use this board independently from the Ultimate Pro. I only bought my Ultimate a few months before the Ultimate Pro came out and as my funds are very limited as I make all my cards to sell solely to raise funds for different charities I just can't go out and buy the Ultimate Pro. If anyone has any tips to get it fitting better without using the Ultimate Pro please let me know. I know I am not alone as I have seen many threads on the web. I push the card right to the edge but for some reason it doesn't always fit together when glued. For the box I printed off some backing paper, a box off the CD which I then cut up for the main image, made some more matching flowers and added a Craftwork Cards sentiment.
