My Project

I wanted to use the card the opposite way but I didn't have the right card stock that would tone in and make the lid. This way looks quite bold, whereas it would be more delicate the other way. The lace, ribbon and pearls have all been in my stash for ages so I have no idea where they were from. The leaves are Spellbinders and Cheery Lynn. The cherry blossoms are from the Hobby House and the other roses are from Hobbycraft.
I like to make these little gifts and gift boxes so that if I need anything unexpectedly I am not caught out. I have been stuck in the past, but you learn the hard way don't you? Well that's been experience anyway.
I hope you all enjoy your day, whatever you happen to be doing.
Love and hugs from Christine xx

Hi Christine, love your origami box, so pretty with the lace edging. As you say thet are easy to make. I have tried it and once you get the hang of it they are easy to do. Christina has been a source of wondeful projects that I have given a try and she demonstrates them beautifully in her tutorials.

Hi Christine,
superb origami box. I made one ages ago after seeing yours on your blog last time, but mine isn't sooooooooo pretty as yours is. Maybe I'll finish it off and show it one day.
I love yours. Thank you for the reminder.
Have a wonderful crafty day.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

My favourite colours of course Christine!!! This is so pretty and such a good idea to make a few in advance. I don't know why I never think of this! I love the flowers you have used to embellish the lid - I have just bought some mini orchids from WOC - they are very pretty and I'm wondering whether I will be able to use them!! lol.
Hope you and John are well.
Hugs to you Sue Pxxx
