DT Day at MelJen's Designs - Box It Up!

Good morning everyone!! Today is my DT Day at Meljen's Designs! And this month we have a Box It Up! Challenge. I have never created a box, so this was definitely a challenge. I had a co worker at work ask me if I would make her a card for her 5th grader. She would be graduating 5th grade this year. So, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to create a box to put the card in. I also wanted to see if I could create a bookmark attached to a card. So, that is what I did. Here is what I came up with:

This is the box, opened up with the card inside.

These two are the box and the card.

Here are different views of the box.

These are the front of the card.

Here is the inside of the card and the bookmark is on the right with the homemade tassle.

And here is the bookmark. I perforated the edge so that it can be torn/cut off and used as a bookmark.

This was really a great challenge. I really enjoyed designing the box, the card and the bookmark. I hope my co worker will like it too for her daughter.

I used Grad Cap and Grats Grad Frame from Meljen's Designs to create the box, the card and the bookmark. I used all kinds of scrap papers that I had left over from back to school items. I also used gems from All That Scraps. I used several die cuts for the card and a Doodlebug stamp for Congrats! I used some eyelets and twine on the box. I used DMC thread to create the tassle on the bookmark. I used a sketch for the card:
