This week we were challenged to use Regina's Card in a Box file. With this file you not only get the card box file, but several images to use for whatever theme you would like. For my project, I chose the stars to go with a Patriotic theme.
I love all things red, white, and blue, and with the holidays coming up...Flag Day and 4th of July, this was a perfect choice for me. I think this little box would even be cute just sitting out on a shelf.

There are two sizes of boxes to work with and I chose the small box. There are a couple of changes I made along the way. I enlarged and decreased the star image so that I could layer 3 stars rather than 2 and I cut the flap pieces down so that the box part behind the flaps showed a bit more.
I added glitter around the stars for some sparkle and all the designer papers are from Fancy Pants Design's Nautical line. The kraft cardstock is from Michael's and the adhesives I used are from Tombow (Xtreme, Mono Aqua Liquid, Mono Adhesive Dots).
If you stop by the Cutting Cafe starting tomorrow and leave a comment, you will have a chance to win 3 of your favorite files!
