Good morning everyone and welcome to the start of a new challenge at Lexi's Creations. The theme this week is Make a Gift/Anything but a Card. I have decided to make another box to put a little gift in.
I have used my Spellbinders Square Bracket Box die to make the box using scraps of card that were lying on my counter, I think they are Nitwits. I have decorated the box with Spellbinder's Rose Creations made with Vellum and coloured with a touch of Distress Ink. The leaf is a Marianne die. For the butterflies I have used Lexi's Butterfly digi which you can purchase at Fairydust Crafts. I coloured them with my Copics, cut them out and then added lots of Art Institute Glitter before popping them on foam squares. Here is another view:
These boxes are just perfect for table favours and also for putting a well known brand of charm inside:
Please pop over to Lexi's Creations and see what the rest of the talented DT have come up with. You have two weeks to enter the challenge so lots of time to get your thinking caps on.
Thank you for your kind wishes regarding my daughter, unfortunately I am still waiting to see an improvement. I am managing to get my DT work done now but I cannot manage anything else. I am hoping that this week we will start to see an improvement. Thanks for coming by today I really appreciate it, take care xx

Hi Susan, I am sorry to hear your daughter is still waiting to see some improvement. I hadn't realised she has been poorly for so long. It must be nice for her to have her mum with her. You must also take care of yourself as well though.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I also wanted to say that I love your little box - so cute. Especially with the gorgeous pressy inside!!
Hugs and best wishes to you Sue Pxx
Hi Susan, What a beautiful gift box you have made, as you say just perfect for that lovely charm inside.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your Daughter, what a worrying time it must be for you. I sincerely hope that you will see an improvement in her soon. It's such a worry when our children are unwell, no matter how old they get they are still our little girls or indeed boys.
Hugs
