This month we are sharing projects which are anything but a card. I decided to create a lovely gift box with a coordinating gift bag , which you can see how to make in our monthly tutorial.
Perennial Lavender gift box
I have just got back from my winter travels. One of the hotels we stayed in offered a turn down service each evening and we would receive a cute little chocolate. Now many of you will know, that I am not that keen on chocolate. I would rather have a big bag of sweeties any day!!!
So what to do with my surplus confection? It just had to be a made to measure box using the fabulous Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper, which matched the colours perfectly.
The box has a sleeve cover and both elements are super easy to make. The base in Gorgeous Grape card and the sleeve is made in Fresh Freesia card and decorated with the pretty DSP. You can find the measurements below.
