Dotted frame is Waltzing Mouse, Vintage Labels
I decided to recycle something from my stash of boxes, containers,
and objects that I have hoarded for the last 2 years.
After pulling out the only felt shapes I own (Heartfelt, CTMH) , I recalled having an empty Close To My Heart kit box from back in the early days of my scrapping!
It was perfect for decorating and using as a future gift box!
I'm always looking for a clever way to give something special that's a bit different from the everyday.
I stamped and heat embossed the label from the "Vintage Labels" set, and ran it through my Cuttlebug with the coordinating Labels 18...easy!
The Close To My Heart punch-out felt pieces made it pretty easy, too!
This was as simple as just a card to make, and it will be such a fun gift to give!
What shall I fill it with? The options are many!
I made the little matching gift card, adding the felt and embossing.
Thanks for taking the time to hop today!
