Cottage Wall DSP Box

Hi all,

So, after yesterday's post about some of the products in new colours retiring tomorrow, I thought I'd make a box to show off the lovely colours and papers along with a Level 1 Hostess stamp set that you can still earn for free for a £150 order (last day for orders tomorrow).

The Level 1 Hostess Stamp Set, Punches Three is a set of three stamps (P.11) and one of them is called "True Blue Friend". I don't know about you, but I find this saying a little strange, so I got my craft knife and carefully sliced off the "True" and "Blue" so that when inked up and stamped, it would just leave "Friend" stamped :) See below for a picture of what I've done:

I'm really pleased with the way it now stamps and have christened it to make the box below using one of the double-sided sheets from the Cottage Wall DSP collection:
