Better Late Than Never

I promised to come back last weekend and post the details of how I made the little gift box for Sarah.  Well as usual life gets in the way of the best laid plans and I couldn’t get back as quickly as I would have liked.

I created this little box using all the same supplies that I used for Sarah’s card in the previous post.  I love the colours, Chocolate Chip, Regal Rose, Pumpkin Pie  and Very Vanilla.  Just devine.  I tried to follow the same layout as I had used on the card but created my circle with the Scallop Circle, 1 1/4″ circle punch and 1 3/8″ circle punches. 

This shows the inside of the box.  I punched the holes using my Crop-A-Dile and threaded the bracelet through, leaving the charms showing on the top.

This box was originally created by Carla Brasher to house a gift card and her tutorial can be found here.  She didn’t want her sons to be able to guess straight away that they were getting gift cards.  Fantastic idea.

Bye for now,  Kris.
