Mother's Day easel card that's also a box

Here is my second Mother's Day easel card and box. I followed the fab tutorial on my friend Debbie's blog and had far less trouble making the lid than I did for the first box. This one is for my MIL and the box contains a bracelet that I bought from M&S. It's really pretty and think she'll like it.

I would like to enter my card box into the following challenges:

Cardstock - The Papermill Shop
Papers - MME Pretty Please, free with cardmaking mag last month
Image - Pink Peticoat coloured with Promarkers
Card candy dot (propping easel up) - Craftwork Cards
Ribbon - from stash
Tools - XCut guillotine, 2.5" circle punch and 3" scallop circle punch both by Woodware
