I don' think there is anything funner than planning a DIY wedding! I have some friends getting married this summer and my contribution to their small Vintage Skate themed backyard wedding is a cute up-cycled wedding card box. I found the perfect box at Homegoods and with two sheets of Graphic 45 paper and ton of Petaloo flowers- made it into something special and personalized. I used Petaloos Teastained Dahlias in the perfect shades of blue along with some extra vintage buttons and glittery gypsum to add a little sparkle and shine on the inside.

Here are some tips for cutting your paper for the inside of any shape box:
Start by simply tracing the entire lid onto a piece of card stock. Then measure the thickness of the lid on the inside. Mine was about a quarter inch.
Then, on the inside of the traced line- I used my ruler to make dashes 1/4 inch in from my trace line- stealing for the theory of seam allowance from sewing - only its and inside allowance.
Then I just trace and cut out the inside line- pop it into the lid and make any additional adjustments.
Now it's safe to cut into my beautiful Graphic 45 cardstock without fear of it not fitting!
