So, I started on my card box yesterday. Quickly realized I'm not a huge fan of the damask wrapping paper I bought from Target, but proceeded anyway. Exhibit A shows the unadorned box, and if you look closely, you can see what a shoddy job I made of cutting the opening:[img]

I'm clearly not remembering it right.Beyond that, I'm not sure what to do to dress it up. Obviously I can slap a ribbon around it:[img]

I was thinking maybe of finding some black wrapping paper and doing the bottom half in black and breaking up the damask/black halves with the red ribbon. Suggestions? (I'm not above redoing the box entirely if need be - though I should clearly stay away from any complicated crafting!)
