I am such a bad Aunt :( ! Completely forgot to give one of my dear nephews a gift on his 9th birthday.....are you ready for this? Back in May!!! So to make it up to him I am including a big fat Target gift card in this gift box I made - to help fund a new DS game. He'll forgive me - not because of the big fat gift card but because I'm still his favorite Aunt ;p hahaha!
I created the base of the box to hold the gift card from the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cart. The pirate hat and layers are from the Boys Will Be Boys cart. The palm tree and the treasure map are from Paper Doll Dress Up cart. The pirate ship is from the Wrap it Up cart. The base of the tag attached with a black tulle was cut from TBBM. I welded the anchor and the steering wheel cuts onto the base and then cut them out separately in white cardstock - they are from Life is a Beach cart.
BTW this is my project #2 for Using My Stash pledge over at the CC MB. I am also entering this in the Bitten By the Bug2 challenge using TBBM cart, as well as the Fantabulous Cricut challenge with the pirate theme.
Hope you like and thanks for looking!
