Notelet Box

Here's a gift I've made yesterday. Took me a long time to make as I adapted it from a tutorial by Sarah (who has loads more inspirational things on her blog, make sure you check it out). I altered the sizes to make it fit 10cm by 10cm cards (I seem to be into this size lately) with their envelopes.

I've used the Elzybells dogs to decorate everything. I like this green card I found last week at the Papermill but didn't know what I was going to do with it but it goes really well with the brown card. If I make another of these, I will make it thinner as I originally thought of putting 6 thank you notelets inside but there seems to be a lot of wasted space. I will probably make another 6 to fit into this box, possibly a different design.

The large circle on the box front has been mounted using a double layer of foam pads to make it stand out enough to allow the lid to drop down behind it.

I wish my camera would do the project justice as it really does look much better in real life and it's a really sturdy piece too.
