Cascading Card and Gift box

Cascading Card
Cascading cards look so complicated but are rather easy to make! [Link to cascading card tutorial].
Cascading Card
It is funny how we bloggers inspire each other. My blogger pal Lisa Jane shared a gorgeous cascading card which she linked to me and I love her card so much that I in turn used her MS punches idea on the layers of the cascading card.  
Cascading Card
I kept the side panels simple with flower stickers in colors to match the rest of the cascade card.
Cascading Card
Dangled a clover -heart charm [for good luck!] in the center of my cascading card.I used  the same gorgeous baby theme stickers [which my daughter won from Khalindi] to make a gift box.
Handmade Box
I had an absolute blast making these paper boxes.
Paper Box
The box lid is attached to the lower part and opens in the style of a hinged box.

Here is the tutorial to make these easy gift boxes: Hinged Box Tutorial

    Oh this is fabulous .. and that's what i love about blogging/crafting buddies .. we all inspire each other!
    I love the colours you have used .. so pretty .
    Did your punch work better after using it in tin foil?
    Cant wait for the box tutorial

      Thank You Lisa! Lisa the crazy punch works well on thick card stock but thin pattern paper or normal paper makes it rebel!
