Recently, I was shopping and found an open box containing 3 post-it note bundles featuring leaf designs that were similar to the leaf designs on one of the Wildflower Birthday papers.
I knew that I could easily turn this into a lovely gift for someone.
After measuring the box, I sketched out my plan to create a wrap around covering for the box to encase its contents – base, sides and lid with a magnetic closure.
The covering was made using 12″x 12″ Soft Sea Foam card and the leaf design paper from the Wildflower Birthday DSP collection.
I work carefully to cut the paper so that the design flows continuously around the box.
Two belly bands were created to hold the front flap in place.
One of the belly bands was decorated with some of the die cut designs from the DSP pack – a flower and some leaves.
The greeting, from the Shadowed Shapes Stamp Set, was stamped and cut using one of the banner dies from the Stylish Shapes Dies.
The pen was disassembled and had some of the DSP wrapped around the pen insert. I used another piece of the DSP to create the pen holder for the top of the box.
Here you can see why I thought the DSP design was perfect for this project – neutral and pale green colours on the post-it notes.
I think this makes a great little gift for someone – it takes a fairly basic item and turns it into something more interesting and appealing to have on your desk.
Tomorrow I have a fun fold card to share with you.
Until then, happy stamping.
