Our Card Box PIP!!!
This is our box. The 2nd pic was my inspiration pic. My mom is very crafty so she was able to replicate it. I love how it turned out!!
This was the one that I found on etsy.

Love the Bling and the color!!
This might be a dumb question, but I love this style of a card box and was trying to figure out how you would go about making one of them. Are the top two boxes "bottomless"?
I also agree that yours is way cuter than your inspiration pic!

It is 3 hat boxes we bought them at Michaels then we cut a hole through the bottom of 2 of them so the cards drop down to the bottom of the box.

[QUOTE]lady you now have got me all confused!!! before I thought that we were for sure going to do a bird cage card box, but I got on etsy and looked for card boxes similar to yours and I have now fallen in love with something like this: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/88801222/perfect-purple-bling-wedding-card-box" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/listing/88801222/perfect-purple-bling-wedding-card-box</a> if only I was as crafty as your mom and could make it myself!!

OOH I love that one!!!! It is not that hard. Just buy whatever shape boxes you want. Cut a slit somewhere for the cards. Then you cut wholes in the boxes so the cards can drop to the bottom. Then wrap them in satin fabric and hot glue your embellishments.

Thanks for the inspiration and the tips lady!! How much were the hat boxes that you got at Michael's? It seems like it would be worth the effort to DIY for this project since the boxes that I like on etsy are $100+....
