Pink Ribbon

October is the month of

breast cancer awareness.

It is important to keep on checking

yourself and supporting others.

I have a little project today

that you can use as a gift or as

a thank you.

These little boxes can be filled with sweets

or a little gift. They are made with a thinlits die by  Stampin'Up!

called curvy keepsake box.

This is the die. You cut out this shape twice

to make one box.

For these boxes I chose some pink paper from

a  designer papers block.

Glue them together like thi and fold the

outsides upwards.

First the parts with the handles and hold them together

and slip the other parts over the handle one by oneand the box is ready.

As the paper is already quite busy,  I made a little

card with the box.

For decoration I used Michael Strong's Cloisonné Accent 

circle stamp. Stamp the circle with versamark and

emboss with white embossing powder. Then cut out with

a circle punch.

These circles I used to conscruct a bra on top of the

card with pink ribbon and some sticky gemstones.

The text is printed with the computer.

The other box I decorated with the bra.

Here you see how I did that:

On the folding line I cut little slits to pull

the ribbon through to the back.

On the backside I taped the ribbon down.

Here the finished box with a label I found on internet.

I have been looking high and low to add the link to this blog,

but could not find it any more. I hope the maker is not offended

by me sharing this freebie with you:

Stay strong

and have a creative day!
