Lattice Bon Bon Box

This is the final Favour Box that I created for Die-cutting Essentials Magazine.  I used the Bon Bon Box from Crafter's Companion.

I cut the box from Centura Pearl card stock and then cut the panels into the box so that you can see what is on the inside.  If you have this die you need to make sure that you burnish the folds really well before you make up the box, especially the curved edges - use your fingers.

Baby Blue and Silver

This is another of the Crafter's Companion Favour Boxes that I created for Die-cutting Essentials Magazine Issue 60, I think this is my favourite box from the collection - it is the Trinket Box.

I cut the base of the box from pale blue Centura Pearl and cut the panels from the base, I then placed silver glitter cardstock behind the panels so that it shows through.  These boxes are quite simple to put together, just make sure that you burnish the score lines really well.

Lavender Honeycomb Box

This is the third favour box that I created for the latest edition of Die-cutting Essentials Magazine, I created five in total - you can find some of the others HERE.

I used the Honeycomb Favour Box die to create this one, I cut the base from Lavender Centura Pearl cardstock and the panels from Precious Metals Luxury Cardstock.  The tag and sentiment are also from the die collection, the ribbon is from my stash.  These boxes are relatively easy to make up, you just need to burnish the folds really well and shape the curved edges with your fingers before making them up.

Boxing Clever

Hello all, it's good to be back in action again, unfortunately my husband was rather ill before Christmas and then my laptop decided to die on me so I have not been posting for a while.  Hubby is now better and I have a new laptop so normal service will be resumed.

I was asked to create some small gift boxes using the fabulous Crafter's Companion Favour Box Dies for Die-cutting Essentials Magazine Issue 60 and this is one of my favourites.

I used the Trinket Box die along with some Royal Blue and Baby Blue Centura Pearl cardstock.  The sentiment is from the Honeycombe Favour Box die set.  These boxes are so easy to make up and they are a really useful size - you really should give them a go.

Pretty in Blue

I have been having another play with my Crafter's Companion Honeycombe Favour Box Dies.  I cut this one from pale blue Centura Pearl, I cut the decorative panels from alternate sides of the box so that you can see what is on the inside.  I just added some die cut flowers, also from the Favour Box Die collection and some ribbon from my stash.

Autumn Honeycombe Box

This is another of the Crafter's Companion Favour Boxes that I was asked to create for the recent launch on Create and Craft. this one is the Honeycombe Favour Box, I think it is probably my favourite!

I cut the box and panels from Crafter's Companion 8 x 8 Textured Cardstock, I left it quite plain so the the decorative panels would take centre stage.  I have a busy month for Birthdays in November so as soon as I have completed the magazine commission I am working on I will be busy making Birthday cards.

This is another Gemini Favour Box, the Gift Carton Box, they are the largest of the collection - perfect to put lots of goodies in.

I used pale blue Centura Pearl to create the box and silver glitter card stock to decorate it.  The hearts are also part of the die collection, all I have added is a little piece of ribbon and twine from my stash.

Trick or Treat

I decided to use one of the Gemini Favour Box dies from Crafter's Companion to create a Trick or Treat box for Halloween.

I used the Gift Carton box, it is the easiest one to make up and I thought it would be perfect to pop a few treats in.  I don't make much for Halloween, we don't get many children round our way, I don't think there are enough houses to make it worth while for them, but I always make a couple just in case.

It's raining again this morning, I'm getting a bit fed up with it now - what is it like where you are?
