Hello and welcome. Thanks for popping by today.
It is Wednesday and time for this week’s Freshly Brewed Projects Blog Hop. The theme is the Craft of Giving. Projects could include a bag, box or gift card holder.
I decided to use the new Kraft Gift Boxes from the July – December Mini Catalogue for my project.
I used the Tidings of Christmas Suite, from the Annual Catalogue, as well. The first step was to remove the acetate piece from one of the gift boxes so that I could make a template to cut card stock and Designer Series Paper.
The first layer that I adhered to the lid of the box was a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock. I used the template to cut out the shape of the opening.
I used the same template to do the same with a piece of Tidings of Christmas 6″x 6″ DSP. After I adhered this piece to the lid of the box, I created a mitred Cherry Cobbler frame to coordinate with the strips of Real Red that I attached to the sides of the box.
A piece of Evening Evergreen was cut, using the template, and then embossed with the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder. It was then cut in half diagonally so that the gift could peek through.
I gathered up a length of Cherry Cobbler and Gold Metallic Ribbon to add to the card front – it almost looks like tinsel.
The stars from the Christmas Trimmings Dies were positioned using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then, I made the gift tags using the Tailor Made Tags Dies and Gold Shimmer Ribbon to decorate the tags.
To ensure the simple gift of chocolate doesn’t slide around, I made two inserts to hold it in place.
What do you think? Would you like this gift?
Make sure you hop on over to see what the other Freshly Brewed crew have made.
Until next time, happy stamping.
