A Tissue, A Tissue…

… I have seen these Tissue Boxes around the blog world & thought it about time I tired my hand at one.

I created a basic template using Pretty in Pink Cardstock. After glueing my pieces together, I cut 4 pieces of DSP slightly smaller than the actual box, so that I still had a small edge of coloured Cardstock showing around the edges & adhered to the sides of the box. I then adhered the final edges together to form the box.

Using the Scallop Trim Border, I punched along one edge of a strip of Pumpkin Pie Cardstock & adhered to the bottom of the box.

I cut a round circle in the top of the lid with my Bigshot & Circles Die, cut & adhered to form the top & sponged around the top edge & circle with Pretty in Pink Ink & a sponge.

I again punched a strip of Pumpkin Pie Cardstock, punched along one side with the Scallop Trim Border Punch & adhered to along the bottom of the lid. I adhered Brown ribbon over the top of the border going right around the lid. I tied a double bow off to one side to finish the top off.

I adhered another piece of the same ribbon – a little narrower – around the middle of the box, cut 2 each of the same lace DSP, adhered them to the middle of the ribbon on all 4 sides using a Mini-Glue Dot & applied a Basic Pearl in the middle of each doiley.
