Today I have an embossed box to share. Every month I intend to join let's squash it and every month seems to come and go without me getting round to it. This month is different though, they are asking for a box with floral embossing. I rarely make boxes but I thought I had the ideal embossing folder so made this:
The embossing folder incorporates the heart cut so this was easy to do. I just added some ink with a sponge and used sparkle pens, embellishments and gilding wax to add interest.
I filled this box with sweets and sent it to my granddaughter as part of her birthday present.
I am glad I have finally got round to joining the squash it team.
Supplies:
Cardstock: Adorable scorable A4; Stamping card
Ink: Catherine Pooler
Embossing Folder: free with Simply Cards & Papercraft mag
Dies: ?
Other: Gelly Roll sparkle pens; gold embellishments; gilding wax
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

So pretty. Love this little box and the contrast of the navy to the spring colored panel.
Hi Hilary,
It could be my message! I've tried to join the Squashettes and I think I succeeded twice...
Your box is so lovely and sweet. Your granddaughter liked it of course. Maybe the sweets a little bit more??
Hilary that a really lovely embossing folder to decorate you sweets box, nicely tinted with added sparkle...great to get out those EF and thanks for joining in the fun at Let's Squash It!, Robyn
I've seen so many box making and embellishing dies nowadays that using an embossing folder came off as a surprise! It looks so pretty too! Love the lightly colored flowers in it. Sweets in such a beautiful box - I'm sure your granddaughter will love it!! <3
Very pretty embossing folder and gorgeous card..xx
How pretty in the soft pastels Hilary and you added colour so perfectly to the embossed element, a technique I fail at miserably every time I try - too heavy handed I think.
Nice sunny morning here, hope you get a nice walk today.
