Fancy favors

At this week's workshop, we made these fun, fancy favor boxes.  They could be used as favors at a special event, small gift boxes, or teacher apreciation treat containers.  The possibilities are endless.

The basic box is a shape cut from the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge from Close To My Heart.  I made the largest size possible by pressing "Fit To Page," but these boxes could be made in a variety of sizes to fit your gift or treat item.

It is easiest to decorate the flat shape before folding it up into a box.  For this project, we added a flourish stamp from the A Flitter stamp set.

Next we used the new, very cool, Tapestry Velvet Rub-Ons, which come in either black or dark chocolate colors.  The velvet texture of these rub-ons is really quite amazing, and would make any project look elegant.

Finally, we added some Baker's Twine and sheer ribbon.  The Baker's Twine is a fun twist on a traditional look.  I've heard it is all the rage lately!

Colored cardstock used:  Buttercup, Sorbet, and Lilac Mist.
