So, to make this set we will need to take:

• Box diagram;
• Watercolor paper, A4 sheet, you can even half it;
• Scrappaper measuring 20*20 cm from the “Provence” collection from designer Evgenia Kurdibanovskaya and a sheet of 30*30 cm from the “French Journey” collection, they are of similar tones and with a similar pattern;
• Pictures with peonies, roses and tulips in purple colors;

• White cut out petals;
• Mother-of-pearl half-beads 4-5 mm in diameter;
• Purple buttons;
• Tools: pencil, scissors, glue stick, heat gun, ruler, double-sided tape.

We take the diagram, a sheet of cadstock and we will completely transfer the diagram onto cardboard. First, we cut off the size we need 24*28 cm.

We make all the bending lines using the end part of the scissors and under the ruler.

We get this base of the box, we wrap all the sides, forming a box.

For the postcard we will need a base made of watercolor paper, cut out the blank and fold it in half, we get a finished base of 8*15 cm. Now we move on to scrap paper.

For the postcard, cut out two rectangles 7.7*14.5 cm.

We immediately glue one on the back to the base, and we will decorate the front one. For the box we cut out the blanks like in the photo.

We will paste some of the scrap blanks onto the base, and decorate the rest.

We glue all the narrow ones except the two short inner ones, we will glue them at the end when we assemble the box.

We decorate three rectangles with napkins cut in half, pictures and inscriptions. We glue everything with double-sided tape.

We sew each rectangle separately, and then glue it to the box and postcard.

Sew the card on the front and back. And we stitch the outside of the box on the lid and sides. Now we collect the tails and glue the box with a glue stick.
