Brewtiful gift boxes

Hello lovely people,

Scorchio!!
I am so not going to complain that it's too hot because we have been waiting a long time for some Summer weather and I am going to enjoy it!
Plus it's a great excuse to eat ice cream...I LOVE ice cream :-)

It's never too hot to stop me drinking coffee though, as I love it even more than ice cream, which leads me on to my project today...

I worked out the template for this pair of gift boxes so that the top section is just slightly bigger than the bottom section.

I used a new die that Sue *insisted* that I bought a few weeks ago at the Dies to Die For pop-up shop...to be fair, I didn't need a lot of persuading!

It is really lovely, and includes dies to cut out the 3 small shapes to place behind the main die cut.
 I coloured each of these sections with Copics to match the papers as I didn't have any plain papers in the collection.

I used a sentiment from my new Greeting Farm stamp set as it was the perfect fit for the coffee theme.
Oh yes, and I used my new MISTI tool to make sure it was perfectly positioned - yay!

For the top I layered up circles with the top one on foam pads and just taped the ends of the cord inside the box lid.

I need to crack on with a big crafty project today so if you spot me snoozing in the garden instead, give me a poke!

Thanks for visiting and I really appreciate any comments that you leave,
