You have probably figured out that I am featuring one product suite or bundle each week, beginning on Saturday.
This week is all about the FREE Sale-a-bration Friendly Hello Bundle. This a product bundle you can choose with a minimum $180 AUD order.
I had a Basil, Lime and Mandarin scented cake of soap that needed a much nicer giftbox than the packaging it came in.
I cut piece of Pool Party cardstock to 7″x 5-1/2″ for the base and scored it at 1-1/2″ on all four sides.
The lid was cut to 6″x 4-1/2″ and scored at slightly less than 1″ on all sides. This ensured the lid was a touch larger than the base and would fit easily over the base. It also meant that part of the blue base would be seen and it would easier to lift the lid away.
The Designer Series Paper was cut from a piece measuring 5-5/8″x 4-1/8″. When I cut the DSP, as shown below, I was able to ensure the continuity of the paper’s design on the top and the four sides.
I adhered the DSP panels to the lid before assembling it.
To coordinate with the giftbox, I wrapped and secured a strip of the same DSP around the soap.
Then I took a length of Pool Party Sheer Ribbon and attached it to the bottom of the card base.
I stamped the birthday greeting onto a piece of cardstock and used the Lovely Labels Punch to decorate the end of the greeting tag. The Label Me Fancy Punch gave me the punched hole I needed to thread the ribbon ends through. The next step was to tie a bow.
The Garden Gems are a gorgeous way to finish the giftbox.
I really have fun when I make giftboxes and packaging. It’s the challenge of creating a 3D item from 2D paper – measuring, cutting and assembling.
Tomorrow is Fun Fold Friday. Until then, happy stamping.
