Victorian Treasure Boxes from Holly Berry House



This is a great project for Mother's Day or for upcoming wedding showers. Use them to store small gifts or shower favors!
The box is made from just one stamp that is stamped multiple times. The topper is a medallion design and is optional.
The design looks best (I think) when embossed in gold. You can color with markers or Twinkling H2O's. I think Twinkling H2O's (or a similar product) look nice because of the shimmering look of the paint when it is dried. Cut out all of the pieces and glue the tabs together to form the box. What a stunning way to present a special gift!
Also, based on the design of the stamp, you don't have to always make a box. Just stamp and cut out the design and layer it onto a card. There are other designs available also.
This stamp is now in my eBay store at http://stores.ebay.com/In-Joy-Rubber-Stamps.
