I finally got around to ordering the Stamping' Up! envelope punch board having seen some lovely projects on Pinterest that I wanted to try. For the boxes I have made here, I followed a fantastic tutorial - https://pootles.co.uk/2017/01/23/playful-palette-envelope-punch-board-versatile-box/
With the box made I reached for my firm favourite set Fable Friends to decorate. The rectangle shape is very vanilla cardstock cut using the incredibly thin die from the Frosted Bouquet Framelits. I stamped the greeting in smoky slate and then stamped the bunny, he looks like he is poking his head in to say hello!
The bunny head was then stamped again on a scrap of very vanilla, the benefit of stamping it twice like this is 1 - you get to see the whiskers without having to fussy cut them and 2 - you get to have his ears sticking up above the line of the rectangle.
The bunny was coloured using stampin' blends in crumb cake and ivory, I added a little pink to his ears and nose and his jacket is in balmy blue. Fussy cutting the head was straightforward without having to deal with those little whiskers.
All that was left to do was to stick the bunny's head on the rectangle panel and then stick the panel on the box. I put a little shredded paper inside to sit the mini malteser bunny on and tied it up with ribbon that was both tight enough to stay on but loose enough to slip off.
The Fable Friends stamp set is in the current Spring/Summer catalogue which runs until the end of May. I have no idea if it will carry over in to the new annual catalogue; if you like it, my advise is don't leave it too late.
