A Lavish Gift box !



I just LOVED making this box !
The challenge over at 
Polka Doodles this week is .....
Click on the link to come and join in !

Polkadoodles and Studio 12

My daughter-in law is 40 soon !!
So I thought I would make a box for her pressie.
Of course its Jewellery !!!


I used paper to line and cover the box


AND I made flowers with it too !
The leaves are from a Marianne Die
The box itself I used a Martha Stewart punch 
to make the fancy edge to the top and bottom.


I used a Sizzix die to make the flowers.
Of course I glittered the edges of the layers 
and flowers with my stickles.
The sentiment I printed on my computer.
On all the edges and corners of the papers 
and flowers I used distress inks to make it pop.
A few gems and volia ! done !

I just love this box !!

  1. I love the vintage feel to your gift box, Lizzie - it reminds me of something my gran would have cherished on her dressing table.

    1. Funny you should say that. It's a year tomorrow since my gran passed and she has really influenced my makes recently. She would have loved this!
