Hat Box

I can't believe it - I woke up this morning to a cool house, and grey rainy clouds outside.  Fall is coming!  I can feel it in the air, I can smell it.  I am so excited.  Fall is my favorite time of the year.  I love the rich colors, and textures - and how families tend to stay knitted together a little more.

Today I am sharing a hat box.  It has become my favorite 3D project.  They are pretty simple to make, but I think they are so elegant.  This one I made for a shoebox swap that my friend Cristena Bagne hosted.

For the embossing on the top - I used a new technique I found over on Stampin' Addicts called Reverse Letterpress.  You put ink on your texturez plates before you put the cardstock on.  It makes your embossed images pop!  I love it!
