Asian Marci Tissue Box Holder

Inspiration for this project is from the 3rd Annual La-la Land Craft Retreat held in November 2015.  The retreat project is posted here on my blog January 18, 2016 Winter Princess Marci Tissue Box. This special Asian Marci Tissue Box holder was made for a very belated birthday gift for a special friend (Eunice - her blog here) who has patiently waited for it. I know she will love it. I did enjoy putting it together for her. Each section has solid Core-Dinations Gemstones Pink Diamond as the base.  Mats are using My Little Shoebox Cherry Delight - Serenade (retired).  The Jaded Blossom Stitched Circles is on each side of the box. Finished holder size is: 5" x 5" x 5-3/8" and will fit over the square tissue boxes. Note this project is not chipboard, it is made of specialty paper board that was only available through La-la Land Crafts. Unfortunately, these project kits are no longer being offered in the store. All other LLC stamps and dies used can be found here. There is a cool coffee cup to go with this "set", too.
