Party Favor Box

I've learned how to make a tiny box using the envelope punch board, (http://pootles.co.uk/2015/03/27/envelope-punch-board-yankee-candle-tea-light-gift-box/ "Thanks for sharing a great idea, Sam!") so I've made five boxes for diferent occasions. It takes only a few minutes to make a box itself, and you can decolate it as you like it to be.

East Meets West 3

March 3 is Girls' Day in Japan, so I've made a traditional Japanese style card.
I used Mizuhiki (Japanese special art cord) for the first time. It was fun learning how to make a knot with it. I've learned that from this site (in Japanese): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLiWb4iTIVE
