First attempt at a easel card with a box

This is an easel card with a box at the bottom. I had inspiration from the television this week to try this. I used Centura card to fold, I used some patterned paper from my stash and a Hobby House topper. I stuck ribbon under the patterned paper inside the box to hold whatever I decide to put in there in place. The pink scalloped oval, cut with a Crafts Too die acts as the stopper for the easel card and the white oval with include a personalised sentiment

Birthday Card for my sons to give my brother

My sons have never called my brother Uncle, probably because my brother was young when I had my eldest son. So a personalised card is ideal. I have matt and layered a white 8x8in white card with various co-ordinating papers. I printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it using a Crafts Too die and cut the the next size die in the set to layer it. I used a Hobby House topper which is very appropriate because my sons often play against my brother on their console.
