I made this box card for my niece who is graduating from college. This was the first time I've done this and looked at several examples before tackling it. Dina's tutorial was easy to understand. The hearts, swirls and balloons are adhered to little strips of acetate. Much easier than wire. I grabbed the college logo with mascot, colored the red with felt pen and fussy cut it.
