Box Card Tutorial


This fun fold box card was made for my June Newsletter tutorial.
I went with Latte Love Bundle for this one as
it will be for a male birthday.


Inside I have made a pull out card with a pocket for a gift card/money.

If you would like the tutorial you can sign up for my newsletter
or keep an eye out on my YouTube channel where I will
share it in a few weeks time.

I would like to enter this into


We had to rush Brian's Mum to Casualty on Friday as she had
been suffering terrible stomach pains and feeling sick for a few days.
She is still in there now, finally getting a ward bed after 28 hours.
I have to say the nurses and doctors are run off their feet.
Some cope with it well others are just damn ignorant!!
I would not dream of speaking to my elders the way some of
them do, honestly if you can't hack it then maybe it's not
the job for you.
My poor Mother-in-law is like a pin cushion now
and completely exhausted.
We are hoping she doesn't need an operation as she is 84 years old.
Fingers crossed the antibiotics will work.

Sorry to read about MIL and agree on how rushed of their feet they are, when I was at A&E a couple weeks ago I'd never seen it so busy. And from speaking to other they like me only there because their GP was less than helpful, mine said at 2.30pm it was too late in the day for him to help. A&E sent him a 'task' to see me a.s.a.p to follow up with scans, that appointment is eventually tomorrow, so will be two weeks. To my my mind it all changed during Covid and nothings been the same since, our GP, head of practice now does three day a week, the other two golfing. Sorry to moan.

Back to your creation today, inspirational as always.

What a very lovely card and sentiment Pinky, love how it opens up. I hope your MiL is better. I agree about the staff, after working in a hospital for 20 years, and being a patient, and with 13 hour wait in A&E. I know what you went through. Some nurses really should leave their job, they are there for the money, others are there for the care, shame more of them aren't like that. And I have 4 nieces who have been (recently retired) or are nurses. I think they are fed up with me and my moans of their fellow nurses. Take care and healing prayers for your MiL. x
