Little Boxes.

Hi there,how you doing this sunny afternoon? I thought you might like to see one of the little boxes that I made for a friend,she's getting married soon and didn't want to give the parents invitations as such but did need to give them menus and directions to the celebration I was going to make cards using the lovely fronts from the original invites but then decided to make boxes instead. I don't have an actual box maker type board but instead I use my trusty Fiskars trimmer/scorer I've discovered over time that if I score my lid dimensions 1mm larger at every fold that once everything is glued together,the lid is a perfect,snug fit.

The letters were cut using my Sizzix Sunset Alphabet and the tiny hearts are  made using Quickcutz dies. I like the look of shadowing each letter using the same cut but in an alternative colour,it makes for a special look in my opinion.

I was going to mess around cutting numbers out for the date etc. for the inside of the lid but decided to trim what I needed from the original invitation. My friend was delighted with the little boxes, I'm going to make one to give to her as a keepsake box as a surprise.  

I'm going to use this for the following challenges:-

CYDA24,Fancy folds,

Fun With Shapes and More 87,Anything but a card,

That's it from me for today, thanks for stopping by,
