Moving on to today's challenge at The Dynamic Duos Challenge and The Ribbon Girls, I made a gift box for my colleague at school. I stamped the doily from Waltzing Mouse in yellow twice on a white cardstock. The white panel is embossed with a patchwork embossing folder.
A special sleeve is made for this box so that you don't need to re-tie the ribbon once it is opened so that receiver no need to fumble with tying the ribbon again. All she needs to do is to slide the sleeve thru the box. So I attached the card panel onto the sleeve instead onto the box itself. As for the ribbon, I made a small little cut on the sleeve so that it was not necessary to go the full round.
I put in a few cards into the box.
I am entering this into the following challenge : The Paper Players (stitches, sewing) , All Sorts Challenge (for a lady)
The sleeve
I received this from my student - I have never seen a banana dressed up as a pirate before.
Thank you for dropping by!

I love the clever way you made the sleeve to be removed from the box so easily. The dry embossing and the colors you have used are so pretty, too.
Cute pirate!!!
