This Easter has been a special one for me as my parents were able to visit, not only for Easter, but for my birthday as well. I wanted to make them something a little special and so came up with these cute little card boxes.
This one is the one I made for my father, I wanted to use some masculine colours and textures so chose the lovely Natural Trim Ribbon, it matches perfectly with Crumb Cake and is inspired by Hessian so has a lovely rough texture. Just the thing when you want to add a ribbon but keep the masculine feel to the project. Some masking with the Everybunny stamp set created the cute little scene.
This is the inside of the 'card', and as you can see the base of the card is actually a box that holds a block of Cadburry's chocolate. My father had Old Gold Rum and Raisin in his.
This is the front of the box I made for my mum. I wanted it to be far more feminine and so used some retired DSP and carried the colours through to the flowers from Bordering on Romance. I just adore the sentiment, an a la carte stamp called Easter Blessings (well named lol). In the box for mum I put a big block of Peppermint chocolate which she also loved.
I love being able to create special gifts for people, and I know my parents appreciate the extra care that goes into a gift like this. I will post again tomorrow to show off the cute little Easter baskets I made for everyone too.
Happy Stamping
