little gifties!

One of my favorite things to do is to give little gifts to people! I love to drop them in their bag or purse without them noticing to find later. A little surprise to brighten their day.

I had a ton of fun making these cute little twisted boxes. They are big enough to fit a few Lindt Truffles or 6 Hershey Kisses or really any tiny gift. I like that they are well sealed, especially if you are filling it with a little trinket like a pair of earrings or a charm for a bracelet.

I used super stick tape to give it a good seal and I scored it to give the ends a crimped look and to ensure that the tape sealed very well.

They'd make great favors for a party or wedding!


The tag needed just a little something so I added some polka dots with my copic. I love how it brings the ribbon and the blue together.





They were so fun to make that I had to try it again in a different color palette. I am going to have to remember this next Easter. I think I could make an awfully cute carrot box out of this!

The white flowers are stamped in sugar ink and then embossed in sugar embossing powder so they really stand out on the orange.

The color combos are endless....I have a feeling you'll be seeing more of these posted here. I LOVE this little box so much!
