Instead of adding stars or another shape I went with a bird and a heart button!!!

Gable box gift set

Hi all!!! I love the look gable boxes and believe it or not I had never made one! So for the latest round of UStamp "Oh My Word" I made a gable box, matching card and envelope. My color combo for this round is all blues and I teamed it with very vanilla! I loved how it turned out, I think it's the lace that I love the most! I will have to stock up before the latest mini finishes!LOL! I also made some Swedish chocolate balls to go in the box to finish off the gift, which I included in the tutorial for this round! The only bad thing about this idea was that I only needed a fraction of the sweets for the photo and I had to eat or the rest! But I didn't mind too much because they were yummoooo!!!! He he he! I have another fun project to share in the next few days once it has been on the live site!

So check back soon!
