Hello all. I am looking to have a custom card box made, my colors are claret, white and silver. I did see an amazing one in someones profile and wish i would have saved it but didnt. (story of my life). Is anyone having one made, or know where to get one made. Have checked out ebay already and nothing catches my eye. Looking for something fun and creative with a few levels. Or one level, very elegant. The one I saw was read and plush on the top, the woman said she had to wait a while to get it since the woman making them was pregnant, when she got it, it was wonderful. Does this ring a bell to anyone. thanks ladies

Re: Custom card boxes
why don't you try to make your own? i did and it was VERY cheap and easy. just get some cardboard boxes in the sizes you want (i used free ones - a shoe box, an appliance box, and a shipping box we got a package in. grocery stores usually have a bunch if you just ask. you can also buy boxes from staples or a shipping/ups store.) then hot glue either nice paper or material to it. then add ribbon or any other extras and ta da! you're done! i have pics in my album (under diy) if you want to see mine (it's still missing the final touches though). good luck and you can fm me if you have any questions.

i also made my own (pics in DIY album), except mine wasn't too cheap (I just made silly decisions, like buying hatboxes on ebay and then spending $40 on fabric to cover them!
betani, your cardbox came out AMAZING!! I love the fabrics you chose! great contrast! it really stands out.....where did you get the fabric?

Re: Custom card boxes
i am using the modern bride
i am having this one made, but it will be brown and blue instead
she will custom make anything for you, so if you tell her what designs and colors she can do whatever
alot of girls got their done by an ebay seller modernbride- but they are only taking orders for weddings in july and august i think
I am making my own too - super easy!

ok thanks....I bought my fabric in Carle Place, off Glen Cove Road (right across from Carters & Big Lots)....... I never even thought about going to the garment district, oh well!
