Need a Tissue?

This card was a big hit at my Card Clubs this month.

Wouldn't this put a smile on your face if you were ill?  Your own tissue box on a card!

Can you see that the tissue box is raised and not flat?  It's actually about 1/4" thick with a real tissue inside. We also thought this might be perfect for someone who is sad; such as after the loss of a pet. 

it's so fun to make too! 

Make the box from patterned paper measuring 3" X 3 3/4".  Score 2 lines on each edge; 1/4" and 1/2" on all 4 sides. Before you actually form it into a box punch out a large oval from the center.  Then cut off the corners up to the deepest score line and form it in to a box.  Add the folded tissue first and then adhere it to the card with either glue dots or Multi-purpose liquid glue.
