A lovely little gift box from me today

I have been wanting to make one of these little gift boxes for ages, they are made from a double sided 12 x 12 sheet of paper using Origami folds, there are loads of tutorials out there, just type Origami star box in the search bar.

The  paper I have used is by K&Co

I have also used a Martha Stewart punch, Cheery Lynn butterfly dies, Heartfelt creations flower dies and a Spellbinders die in the centre, Card Candi and ribbon and little gold round beads on a string.

I am entering this gift box into the following challenges

  27. What are you going to put in it, Julie? This is the prettiest box I've seen and would be lovely displayed all year round. The colours remind me of lavender and I can almost smelt it from here.
