Pillow Box

At Creative Card Crew this week our theme is 'Strings attached'. We want to see fibres or thread or twine etc - it's up to you. We're sponsored by Simon Says Stamp and have a fab prize up for grabs. So pop over and see what the rest of the Design Team have created.



I've made my first ever pillow box and am submitting it to these challenges:


I enjoyed making this following the template Liz provided, it's much bigger than I expected and so I got loads of strawberry and cream sweeties inside. I cut the window and popped some acetate behind it and then an embosses border around the edge. I used Fairy Lights papers over the top flap and some spotty PP paper but I can't remember which collection it's from! The lovely bright pink is 'orchid' - my favourite shade from PP.

I think these coloured sentiments make great tags and it's attached with some pink fluffy fibres.

I'm feeling a smidge better today - so glad, sick of being sick!

Cards are starting to arrive already for my charity candy - thank you so much, If you haven't already entered, you can read all about it here.
