I'm excited to share this sweet little treasure box with you today. Since it's Thursday, once again it's time for another CCEE Stamper's Challenge, and Frances has challenged us to make something with a pirate theme since it's "International Talk like a pirate" day. Well, I don't have anything along that theme, so I thought why not make a treasure chest?
While searching for a treasure chest template, I stumbled upon This Tutorial by Lori McCroskey, owner of Clear Dollar Stamps. Isn't it just precious!?!?! I used all dp, so there's very little stamping on mine. Just the tag. One thing I absolutely adore about Verve is that it has such a variety of sentiments that come in handy often. Such was the case for this little box. I knew once I wanted to add a tag, Verve was what I'd turn too. Sure enough. I found the perfect little sentiment written in the perfect font, from the set Enjoy. I also added some twine handles along the side with some Rain dot eyelet stickers by Cloud 9 Designs. Here's a look at the inside.
I didn't have any candy jewels to use for treasure, but I thought these Lindt Lindor Truffles looked quite rich and yummy!!
That's it for my project today. Be sure to check out the CCEE Stamper's Blog to see what pirate themed creations the other gals have come up with.
