Four Tags In A Mini Box

I made a little gift for a friend of mine.
At first I only thought of giving her some tags,
but then I thought I could make a little box
for these mini cards.
My rather old fingers cannot make fine works,
so I struggled a bit with the box and the bows.
But I think I can bring my friend this little gift
when I see her tomorrow afternoon.

For the tags I used:
White card stock, 2 different whites.
Embossing folder: Swiss Dots, Cuttlebug.
Image: "Arum Lilies", from Beccy's "Lovely Lilies" set.
Light pink ribbon.


For the box I used:
Pink card stock,
Patterned paper: Craft Sensations.
Spellbinders Scalloped Circle (on the back side)
and Spellbinders heart die.
Stamp: Heyda.
Light pink ribbon.
Rhine stone.
I glued the little heart so that it can hold the upper part of the box.
