It reminds me of a die I recently bought ... Memory Box's Mini Takeout Box die. I was playing with it last weekend ... unfortunately, it's not big enough to fit cookies in ... unless they're tiny cookies. Hmmm ... or maybe I should learn how to make chocolates :) Yeah, I'm sure hubbie would love it if I took on another hobby (and took over another room in the house) ... LOL. The finished size of the box is 1.6"x2.1"x1.75". It's perfect for a party favour or wedding favour. To be honest, I didn't really have a plan to use it for something specific when I ordered it ... it's not like we throw parties! However, it is so cute I just couldn't resist buying it :) I'm sure I'll find some use for it later on!
Anyway, I played with the die a bit last weekend. I cut the die out and was to anxious to see what it look like that I folded the box before decorating it :)
I decided to emboss the sides with the Leafy Vines stamp from Hero Arts. It wasn't too difficult to stamp it even though I folded the box already. I used some post-it's to mask the other areas since I did not want the image there (... don't mind the names on the post-it's ... I previously used them when making Christmas cards for my old team). As you can see, I stamped 2 sides at the same time and then I repeated the same thing for the remaining 2 sides.
Isn't this just adorable! I thought it would look nicer with a ribbon than a wire handle. I guess I had a wedding favour in mind when I was making this.
