if you would like some of the gorgeous tatting be sure to visit her etsy shop, it can be found on her blog.

there are some really beautiful trimmings for cardmaking and all hand tatted.

the instruction for this style of box easle card can be found on whiff of joy site.

i changed the sizes to make the box an inch deep and 5x5 size card.

i think my mum will like it better when its full of her favotite chocolate!
