Stunning book style wedding or memory box

Ok so I have to admit the retirement list caught me out on this project. I made this a few weeks ago and never got around to filming it ...I really have learnt a lesson there. I do feel the retirement list real will sell its self with the amazing offers so me pushing it seems fruitless. Please do go over and make sure you haven't missed out on something you love which won't be available come June.

So this box is quite large... I personally need things to be useful to tiny boxes which serve no real purpose aren't my thing so in total this box measures 6.5 x 4.5 x 1.5" a nice size. It opens like a book once the ribbons are untied. I layered the lid, bottom and spine to make it more sturdy and it could carry a whole host of things from cards to photos. I used doilies inked with blushing bride, layering
overs dies and so in love stamp set to decorate the front. The colours used throughout are Verry vanilla and Blushing Bride which go together beautifully.

 As you can see when open the inside box frame is attached to the front cover again this gives more stability to the spine area. The inside of the lid was re enforced too and at the same time this covers the start of the ribbon s used as a closure.

 I mat and layered the spine for strength and to look fancy. I embellished with pearls underneath each is a 1/2" circle of contrasting card for a nice finish

I carried the decoration to the back again using doilies cut into four which had been inked with blushing bride. I think its gives a really lovely look.

So I later filmed the project do you can follow along by watching here click the photo below :-
