Re: Card Boxes

I rented mine from Dazzling Affairs, and the one that I picked out is shaped like a cake (3 layers) and it has rhinestones on it. I think they have others though, but I can't remember what they look like. sorry!

how much does something like that cost to rent - if you dont mind my asking?

I'm doing a wine box, that a friend decorated for me. I'm planning on using it again for storing pictures or papers...I do like the rental idea though!

Re: Card Boxes

I didn't buy mine yet, but I'm looking into 'The perfect card box' It's a box with a lock and key and it has I believe 4- 8x10 pictures of you an your FH in it. I thought it was a great idea. So I'm going to look into that.

The website is: www.theperfectcardbox.com
if you are interested :)

Re: Card Boxes

I DIY mine, but with spray paint. Iis in my album,I did open the slit more and blinged the slit more too. I got the boxes from AC moore 50% off, and the paint from Michael's, with coupons. Also got some bling from there for 50% off
