Never throw away packaging... at least not until you are sure you can't use it. This box was the packaging for some lovely paper flowers from Prima. The flowers were gone but the box was still perfect and it seemed such a shame to throw it out. Twiddleybitz sent me some yummy stuff a few weeks ago so I thought I would make a little gift box using some of the chipboard butterflys.I decorated the front of the box, then added a twiddleybitz mirror butterfly, flower and button.
For the cards I simply embossed the front using the cuttlebug then added chipboard butterflys that I inked using black ink. I added a button and a small greeting (which I sewed on using my new sewing machine) and I was done.
Now I have a gift already to go the next time I need that perfect gift. Have a great day everyone :-)

I love the cards, am so copying them. i am also learning to look at all packaging before i throw it out to see if i can reuse it. What type of sewing machine did you get?
Hope you had a good Monday
