Stacking boxes Cakes

You don't expect to see those words strung together now do you. I have quick post to show you, a fabulous project I work on Saturday. A small group of us got together to do a little crafting, Cabio had an idea she wanted us to try. These started out as stacking boxes by Melissa Frances.

Can you tell which one is mine.. I am soo not a girly girl. The other ladies made stunning elegant and so so beautiful projects, these are three of finished items. One of the ladies was still busy adding bling.

Three of us ladies holding our projects. Like the background, that is Cabio's craft room not a store.. it is amazing and I am in awe each time I see it.

This is my project :), I had a blast creating it. We started with measuring and adding texture to white cardstock. I added the thick black ribbon with white stitching, and then cut out each individual dice from spare cardstock and added gems. I created the large dice on top the same way and added three layers of base to hold it up.

The top box is glued shut but the bottom two boxes can open up to put some trinkets or treats inside.  I was pretty impressed with myself for accomplishing this.

Thank you Cabio for taking these great pictures. I have a few more on my camera that I will add a little later.. I am charging my camera battery. I think Cabio has more pictures on her blog, pop on over to take a look, she has made several of these amazing project.

Supplies: Stacking boxes-Melissa Frances, white cardstock, Cuttlebug folder, misc ribbon and gems.
