so come over and join in our challenge HERE
I have seen lots of these American style mailboxes in blogland and came across a fantastic tutorial HERE which I followed to make mine.
The butterflies have been die cut with my new Cheery Lynn butterflies set, there are three different ones and they are all gorgeous. I have used Memory box's Locina buckle die for the pretty ribbon buckle on both sides of the box and the ribbon is from a Smirk spool.
I have also used 2 eyelets to feed the ribbon through to hold the flap closed and an eyelet so the post box sign can be moved.
I am entering this project into the following challenges
Simon says stamp and show Anything goes
Crazy Amigos Hearts - There are brown hearts on my paper
Digital Tuesday Use your stash
Flutterby Wednesdays Anything with wings
Whimsy Inspires Anything but a square card
Pretty Little Ribbon shop Anything goes with ribbon
