Sweet Paris decorated box

I'm not really sure why I haven't written about this box before now, as I made it about 2 months ago. However I was prompted to blog because the box makes an appearance in this month's Papercrafter magazine (page 12). I was very excited (and proud) when I saw it in there.
The full instructions for this project are in my Trimcraft gallery. The hexagonal wooden box was really easy to cover with pieces of paper, I used a die to cut the top piece however. This box will be a teacher's gift next week and I have 2 more to make. I hope they like them.

Sweet Paris colour challenge card

I created this card for this month's Trimcraft website challenge. This month you need to pick a colour theme and create a card based on this. I chose to use shades of green, using these beautiful Sweet Paris papers and embellishments.

I cut the Eiffel Tower tag from one of the papers, layering this over other papers and a large flower from the Big Blooms pack. I finished the card with die cut flowers, pearls, lace and ribbon. The finished card is great for any occasion but would be perfect for a summer birthday.
