A Gift Box using Simply Maya "First Date"...

Morning all....

Vicky here today....and I thought I share with you a paper mache box I have decorated using one of Simply Maya digi stamps..

 

and here it is...

 

 

and here are the items I used..

 Simply Maya "First Date"

Scalloped Swirly Border Die

Cute Butterfly Trio

Leaves Trio

Nested Flowers set 1

Basic Pink Pearl Brad

Charm

Button Twine

 

And here is how I made it..

 

 

Diecut your elements..

 

 

1} Decorate the sides of the box with your papers of choice.

2} Stick the border strips along the edge of the box, then follow around with lace if desired.

3} Tie some button twine around the box {I went round twice} then tie a large bow. 

4} Thread the charm and tie to twine {I find it easier do it that way...!!}.

Decorate your lid of the box with your chosen image and arrange your pretty elements..

here is a close up of the elements I used and also my Copics..

and here is the finished box...
