Welcome to the Spring Fling Bog Hop! I’m sharing two different colored versions of a beautiful easel card box! They are so much fun!. Here’s the video on how to make the easel box.

Now for some pictures in case you don’t want to watch the video.Stampin Up, Easel Box, Typeset, Botanical Builders, Feels Good, Endless ThanksI just love the Botanical Builders set. You can do just about anything with them and they look great!Stampin Up, Easel Box, Typeset, Botanical Builders, Feels Good, Endless ThanksIsn’t the drawer pretty! It pulls completely out. The knob is from the cabinet department at Lowe’s, so you have lots and lots of options for different handles. I did sponge the edges of this box with Crumb Cake, but I don’t think that’s necessary.Stampin Up, Easel Box, Typeset, Botanical Builders, Feels Good, Endless Thanks This beautiful sentiment is from the Feels Good stamp set. Don’t forget there’s a complete supply list at the bottom of this post, PLUS, a huge giveaway.melon close up

Of course, I couldn’t resist the Wink of Stella on all of the flowers 🙂

Here’s the second box. I used Pink Pirouette and Marina Mist as my accent colors this time. I think I love this one the best.Stampin Up, Easel Box, Typeset, Botanical Builders, Feels Good, Endless ThanksStampin Up, Easel Box, Typeset, Botanical Builders, Feels Good, Endless ThanksStampin Up, Easel Box, Typeset, Botanical Builders, Feels Good, Endless ThanksStampin Up, Easel Box, Typeset, Botanical Builders, Feels Good, Endless Thanks

  19. Thanks I would have never thought to use water color paper. Bought some small sheets at a local craft store and I’m playing around with it. Really loved how it has a different looks with it. I can see where it would make a heavier bod
