I’ve ‘upcycled’ a plastic container into a birthday gift box.  I’m going to fill it with a card making kit, just some simple card making supplies for a newbie card maker.

In my daughters class the children are all asked to donate a box of tissues for the year.  This week I have decided to cover a tissue box.  I used this cute paper and decorated it with ribbon and the flowers are made using the Marianne Creatable flower die.

I had gift boxes on my mind this week too!  I found this lovely Kraft box at Paperchase and knew it was perfect for altering.  As you can see I am still enjoying my Pink Petticoat Papers and Papertrey Ink Butterfly dies!

I have a couple more non-card items to share with you.  The first is a bookmark which I have packaged using a pretzel bag.... perfect size for these little projects!
