Pretty Gift Box tutorial

I made this box recently for my Mother-in-law's birthday.

It was filled with her favourite chocolates. 

I used mirri card for the bottom and papers from an old stack

from We R Memory keepers for the lid.

I had some nice blue ribbon which made a lovely big bow.

I cut out a die shape and stamped the sentiment and name

using Happy Birthday to You and Alphabest stamp sets (SU).

I cut some birds from the leftover papers to decorate.

As I haven't done a box tutorial for ages I decided

to give the old grey matter a shake and do one!

I did make it smaller than my first one but you can make this box

any size you want and the design will work.

For this one I used papers from Paper Discovery and some

co-ordinating card for the base from my stash.

It was decorated using punched flowers and leaves.

The sentiment was stamped using Itty Bitty Birthdays (SU)

and finished with some gems.
