My nephew is turning 16 this weekend. Mind you, this is my youngest nephew which means that not only is he turning into a young man but I am turning into an old aunt! He asked for some CDs for this birthday and even though I had no idea what I was buying, I gamely bought him one. I had already decided that I was giving him this card, so I needed a something to give him the CD in. Behold this "card."
The layout came from the Taylored Expressions sketch challenge this week (although I changed it to square instead of rectangular). But this is not actually a card. There is a flap that you can't see that folds over the front which turns this card into a very slim box that can hold a CD!
The CD was encased in a very thick cardboard (instead of the usual plastic case) so I was able to make this box very slim (only 1/4-inch thick). I used dimensionals on the bottom half of the panel with the buttons which left some space for me to tuck the flap in and hold the box closed. I think it's adorable. I hope he does too (although he's a boy and could probably care less about these things. However, I'm sure his mother will save it for another use)!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have time to stamp today!
