Giveaway #4

Hi all! Tonight's creation was partly inspired by a question I saw recently. Unfortunately I don't recall who asked, but the person wondered what an origami box would look like made out of vellum.
Well, this is what it looks like. Unfortunately vellum card stock is very brittle and hard to work with (as can be seen in the torn edge). I'm sure regular vellum would be easier. Anyway, it's pretty cool to work with.
This box and the cards inside could be a gift that a baby shower host gives to the new mom. Just some simple cards she can use to thank those who help out around the baby's birth. :)

Giveaway #3's winner is Pat S. who commented at 3:52 this afternoon. Pat, I'll email you shortly.
The prize for the fourth giveaway is chipboard shapes (see the exact ones here). These shapes are awesome! We used some at ScrapFest last month and they make the cutest cards!
Good luck! Leave a comment and your number might be picked! :)
