Vintage Card Box

When I was pregnant, I had some crafty moments. It was almost my form of "nesting". One of which came after one of my showers. I went to sit down and write some thank you cards and I had to sift through an entire stack to scrounge up a couple of cards. It took more than a minute, which is enough to drive a pregnant lady mad.

The Lord must have spoken to my mother, because she showed up soon thereafter with materials to make a card box. (My mother has a tendency to read your mind and show up with things you need before you even know it. She's amazing) So a card box was made!

Materials Needed:
Wooden box with inside and bottom painted color of choice
12-14 pieces of scrapbook paper
5-6 pieces of card stock (depending on how many dividers you'd like)
Distress Ink
Mod Podge
Makeup Sponge
Sand Paper
Printed Labels for the dividers



1. Using the box as a template, create a template for the dividers and cut each out of card stock. Then cut scrapbook paper to cover both the front and back

2. Trim scrapbook paper to cover each side of the box

(Hard part is done!)

3. Spread a thin layer of Mod Podge over each side and cover with scrapbook paper. Be sure to work out any bubbles or puckers in the paper. Allow to dry.

4. While the box is drying,  Cover one side of the card stock dividers with scrapbook paper using Mod Podge. Allow to dry.

Helpful Hint: Put heavy books on the pieces once mostly dried to prevent curling

5. Once dry, brush a thin layer of Mod Podge over each scrapbook piece.

6. When covering the dividers, place each label towards the top and cover with Mod Podge.

7. Once everything is completely dry, use the makeup sponge to put Distress Ink along the edges of the box and dividers.

8. Use the sandpaper to "rough up" the edges, creating a vintage look.

9. Place dividers in your box and Voila! You have a fancy looking card box to keep all of those cards straight.

Enjoy!
