ANYTHING BUT A CARD AT BUGABOO STAMPS


I made this cute little cupcake sized gift box as a sample for my Creative Papercrafts, Durban workshop on Saturday  and decided that it would look so cute with this Bugaboo image of a ballerina, the dancing lady from the 12 Days of Christmas Mini Set on it, to make it more girly.


This little box consists of:

2 x white cs round die cuts (one is embossed)
pink and white striped cs, scored on every stripe
lacy punched border
punched and embossed flowers with gem centres
satin ribbon bow
handmade flower made from post it papers

The ladies will be taught to make the box and the rose, I am sure they'll enjoy this project!
