Pyramid Gift Box

 


A pyramid box suitable for little treats or gifts (a silk scarf perhaps?).   Made from a printable sheet by Pauline Bright & Finmark (dated 2003, rediscovered - more than time I used it!!).  The flowers are layered and one flower cut to make leaves.  A little stamped sentiment tucked in, and a little matching gift card.

2023 Review

 I thought I'd share some of my favourte makes of 2023 as I have done for a few years now.  Sometimes I have picked them for the design,  for the fun I had making them, or for the memories they evoked.


January 2023  a new start to the year.  We had our first party here at the village (with bagpipes)
