Stash Buster 8

I made this little gift box for a bauble I bought from Etsy

for my Son and Daughter-in-law.

It is a pet one for their tree.

Sadly this last year they lost their two big dogs,

which broke their hearts!

This was Gino and Suki.

So the bauble (flat) arrived in a little plastic bag

and I wanted it to look a bit nicer.

Apron treat box

I saw a few people doing tutorials on this type of box on YouTube and as I have

this stamp and die set I wanted to use it to make a little New Home gift

for my Son and Daughter-in-law who have been busy moving this weekend.

I used my own measurements to suit the chocolate chip cookies I wanted to pop inside!

I'm pretty pleased with the finished product and so were they.

The biscuits were well received lol.

The inside box is 2" square and I made the handle a lot longer so the contents

could be removed easily.

I think the little tools are so cute!!

Items I have used are:

Apron of Love and At Home with you stamp sets,

I made a Father's Day card for my daughter to give to her Dad.

The papers are from an old set of Tutti Frutti

and I added Lemon Lime Twist card on a base of black card.

The sentiment was stamped in Basic Black

and the utensils in Basic Gray

I used dimensionals and Tombow glue.
