Our thirty ninth colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is "purple posy" from the 2019 - 2021 in color collection. I have chosen purple posy, pool party and smoky slate from the colour coach to work with today for my creation. I have made a chocolate slider box this week instead of a card. I find they are perfect to have on hand for teenagers to hand out with some cash inside (taped to the block of chocolate) for birthdays. It's more than just cash but not a huge embarrassing (or unwanted gift) to hand over.
I've made the slider box in purple posy cardstock and have used the gorgeous grape inkpad and dauber to add some depth to the edges (I've also use gorgeous grape ink and dauber on the playing with patterns DSP). I matted the purple posy DSP with smoky slate cardstock and used the playful alphabet dies with foam adhesive sheets for dimension and height. I also added in my faux resin dots in purple posy onto the DSP.
I finished off the chocolate slider box with a mini gift card and purple posy linen thread to act as the slider with pool party cardstock as the handle.
With the pull tab in action so you can start to see the Cadbury block of chocolate inside the slider box

I always love a chocolate slider, such a perfect “non-gift” for any occasion really.

Ros, a great colour combination and nice to see a 3D project. These are definitely a great gift idea.

Love this gift idea, especially when there is chocolate involved - not sure it would make it safely out of our house though!
