"Reuse, Reduce, Recycle"
I found this blog when I was checking out Chris' blog http://cattsscratchingpost.blogspot.com/. The idea is to use something recycled on your card! Could be brown paper, or ribbon from another gift (or handles on gift bags work), etc.
I went with this box of chocolates that my husband got for Christmas. He's a mailman and for some reason this year, he got lots of chocalates this year. We ended up giving most of them away, though.
I used paper and rub ons from American Crafts "Botanique" line. The top of the box is the sparkley side and the sides are the back that is the plain side. I added flowers from Prima's "Fleur de Prima", bead strings in white, some peach and blue ribbon and stickles on the side to match the top.
Here's one of the sides of the box and a close up of the stickeled part.
