This is my submission for today's Technique Challenge - to make a cute origami box out of patterned paper. Good thing I practiced a couple of times on "less-loved" DP! Finally it clicked and the rest came together easily!
I made my box out of Chocolate Bella Rose DSP. I covered the box cover with Pink Pirouette DSP from the same collection. I lined the box with a square of Pink Pirouette CS. It's hard to see in the photo, but I added punched white borders to both sides of my Chocolate horizontal strip. I cut the circles with Nesties and stamped the circular border and monogram with Memento Rich Cocoa onto GP White. Popped this whole thing up on Pop-Dots. I added some felt flowers with half-pearl centers and used some pink and chocolate dotted ribbon for my box closure.
Thanks, Lynn and Melissa, for the fun new project to try!
TFL!

You are right, Carla...the white punched border is hard to see...but it's there! This box is so very beautiful...I just love pink and brown (not as much as RED, but that's another story!LOL)!!
