These box cards are very popular right now and I wanted to find a simple way to make them while being frugal in terms of cardstock use.

I came up with this almost monochromatic version to teach my downline at a recent meeting.  it only takes 1/2 a sheet of cardstock for the box base, 3/4 sheet for the flowers, butterflies and greeting and about 1/4 sheet for the leaves plus just a bit of Designer Series Paper (DSP) to match.  It fits in a standard (A2) envelope.
