Minecraft box...

This is for a friend of my daughter who is sadly moving away. I decided that i would make him a memory box rather than a leaving card.

I used some ivory and black coloured mount board and cut the pieces out using my Eileen Hull's square box xl scoreboard die. For the named bunting I used Karen burnistons flagpole die. The lettering is from a cuttlebug typewriter alphabet die set.

I glued a little 3D surprise inside the box using a skin template I found on Pinterest.

Bits n bobs Eileen Hull box...

I needed a scraps box so used this Eileen Hull die and put some of my favourite Lucy Cromwell paper on it.

Tooth fairy candy cup...

The tooth fairy hasn't been very reliable for my oldest children, so now the youngest one is getting her first wobbly tooth I thought I'd better be more prepared. This households tooth fairy prefers to collect from purpose made tiny pillows instead of underneath children's pillows!!

I searched and searched for 'mat board' as I'd seen that is what crafters use when making their more sturdy creations but couldn't find any anywhere. My good crafty friend over at diningroomdrawers told me to use 'mount board'. So after a little trip to HobbyCraft I now have some cream and some black board.

I used Eileen Hulls candy cup sizzix scoreboard die to make the tooth holder, and my favourite decorative strip die that cuts flag poles and bunting. I hand stitched the tooth pillow using some inch thick satin ribbon and a little stuffing. The tiny buttons are actually some very cute brads I picked up at graftoncrafts.
