I made monogram card gift sets for my mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law for Mother's Day. I used TESC111 for the layout.
I bought $1 reciped boxes from Michael's and altered them. My first time doing altered boxes...took some time, lol. I'm pleased with the way they turned out.
Excuse my photo shoot set up, haha...I have no idea how to crop/edit photos=(

Any suggestions or ideas to share? Just curious through your trouble shooting if you had any easy tips. I think I will make these for the teachers this year if it isn't too painful.

Jackie~ give yourself plenty of time to do them, use a glue that gives you some wiggle room, measure and add 1/16th or a lil' more to each piece and trim as needed. I found that each box didn't have the same measurements on each side. So some were too short while others were too long. Too long is ok, too short, not so much=( Happy creating!
