Hi!
I will make this quick as I have a Doctor's appointment to get to!!! I checked today's technique challenge on SCS and found instructions to make the cutest little origami box! It was REALLY easy! I made a lid for mine but you don't have to. You can find the details HERE! Here is my box ~
This is the top of the lid. The paper I used is from last summer and is by Imaginisce. I stamped the fish image from Starving Artistamps on Whisper White card stock and then cut it out using my square Nesties. Speaking of Starving Artistamps, they have some brand new Valentine images in stock! You can check it all out HERE! I then added some sea grass (do you think it looks like sea grass????) using my Old Olive marker. I then added the bubbles (which are also from Starving Artistamps and can be found HERE) by stamping them in Bashful Blue ink and then adding Stardust Stickles to make them glittery like the paper. I stamped the fish image again on Whisper White card stock, cut it out and colored it using my Prismacolor pencils and Mineral Spirits. I added some Angel Wings Shimmerz to the entire fish because it was sitting on my desk staring at me!!! LOL!!! I then mounted the second fish on top of the first using dimensionals, added THIS May Arts ribbon, tied a knot on the side and then mounted it on top of the Bashful Blue scallop square using dimensionals.
Here is a close up of the fish ~
Here is the Best Fishes sentiment (also from Starving Artistamps) which I stamped on Bashful Blue card stock using Basic Black ink, cut out using my Nestie label die and then added the Bubbles by stamping in Bashful Blue ink. I then added Stardust Stickles to the bubbles so they would match the ones on the top!
The Origami box, which I made using Whisper White cardstock, just folds together but for the top and bottom flaps, I used a glue stick to hold the Imaginisce paper on and then used Sticky Strip to hold the bottom and back of the box in place inside the cover. The May Arts ribbon will tie the top and bottom closed.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! Have a great day!

The origami box and Asian fish are perfect together.
