Fabulous Keepsake Box and Card

December 25, 2012 by Holly Gagnon 6 Comments

Sharing a Fabulous coordinating Keepsake Box and Card I made for a good friend who recently moved away {Sad Tears} using some cute Coffee Bean  CANDi’s

Keepsake Box and Card

Keepsake Box and Card

These little CANDi ® embellishments really are Fab.  I practically use them on every project I make now. The coordinating card is made out of Kraft paper and embellished with ribbon, CANDi’s® and a stamped sentiment from Pink by Design.

Instead of doing my usual Mod Podge the whole box idea, I decided this time to stain the unfinished wood box with Miniwax Chestnut stain.

I did use Mod Podge to adhere patterned paper under the lid and added a few Coffee Bean CANDi’s ® to the center of the flowers.

Cricut Flower Shoppe

The outside of the box is embellished with ribbon, a layered flower cut from Cricut Flower Shoppe and of course some more cute Coffee Bean CANDi® goodness.

    Love what you did with these. I’ve got some plain colored Candies…but I’m loving these polka dotted ones.

    Be blessed, Beckie
