Hello and thanks for popping by. I have a very sweet treat to share with you today.
Today’s project was inspired by a block of chocolate I found when I was shopping the other day.
I was drawn to the colour of the chocolate – rich pink with a black and gold label. I knew that I could make a great gift box to pop it inside and give as a gift. The Kokopod chocolate is made in Queensland and is made with strawberry dust blended into white chocolate. There’s also some strawberry dust sprinkled on the front of the block.
I knew that I would use a piece of the Expressions in Ink Specialty Designer Series Paper to make the gift box. The birthday greeting, from the Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set, on the label was heat embossed in gold. The label was cut using one of the Tasteful Labels Dies. I made the strawberry in the same way before punching it out using the Strawberry Builder Punch. The label had Stampin’ Dimensionals positioned on the bottom half of the back so that the flap could fit under the top half.
I used the Detailed Trio Punch to round off the corners of the flap. To finish off the label I added some gold Metallic Pearls.
Who would give this sweet treat to? Who, do you know, would like a strawberry milkshake chocolate?
Happy stamping.

Hello and welcome. If you’re new to my blog, I am so pleased that you have popped by. If you’ve popped by before, I appreciate that you have returned.
I am slowly catching up on my crafting and posts – and, hope to be ‘on time’ very soon (I try to schedule my posts at 9am each day).
Over the next few days I plan to share projects using the You’re a Peach Suite Collection.
For this project, I was inspired by my daughters’ love of Peach Iced Tea. So, I went looking for something that I could make a gift box for. Thank goodness for T2 products – I found their Packs a Peach tea bags. Now I must admit I thought the packaging wasn’t awful, but I also knew that I could create something just a little more special. The teabags are in super-cute triangular bags and there are 10 bags in the packet.
The box they come in is larger than the box I made.
I chose three core colours, that coordinate with the You’re a Peach Designer Series Paper, for this gift box – Calypus Coral, Pale Papaya and Pear Pizzazz. Then I added some Basic White and White Vellum. The gift box base measured 9-3/8″x 8-3/4″ and was scored in at 3″ along all four sides. The lid measured 8-3/8″x 7-3/4″ and was scored at 2-5/16″ along all four sides – this ensures the lid is just a little larger than the base so that it fits over the base easily.
The DSP for the lid was cut 2-1/4″ high for all four panels and then 3-1/4″ for the front and back and 2-5/8″ for each of the sides. The DSP for the base was cut 2-7/8″ high for all four panels and then 3-1/4″ for the front and back and 2-5/8″ for each of the sides.
I used one of the Scalloped Contour Dies to cut Pear Pizzazz and White Vellum layers for the box top. The die was too wide for the top but I was able to reposition the die to make the finished layer narrower. The Pear Pizzazz layer was then stamped with the leaves and stems image from the Sweet As A Peach Stamp Set. A few drops of Multipurpose Glue were placed on this layer before the vellum was attached. The glue was hidden as soon as the peaches and flowers were adhered onto the vellum, using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The flowers and peaches were stamped using both Calypso Coral (stamped off) and Pale Papaya. I cut five double leaves in Pear Pizzazz and attached them with Mini Glue Dots.
The sentiments were stamped in Pear Pizzazz and Calypso Coral. The ‘Thanks for being as’ was cut using a die from from the Peach Dies and the ‘sweet as a peach’ was cut using one of the Scalloped Contours Dies. The final touches included adding Clear Wink of Stella onto the peaches and flowers, and then adding some of the Pale Papaya 2021-2023 In Colour Jewels.
These are some of the products I used for this gift box. Which ones do you have on your wishlist?
Who would you give this peach tea gift box to?

Hello and welcome! Thank you for popping by to see what I have been creating.
Today I want to share another project using the Hand Penned Suite. This is a gift bag project using the gorgeous new Ombre Gift Bags that come in the five new 2021-2023 In Colours – Evening Evergreen, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, Polished Pink and Soft Succulent. The bag I chose for this project was a Pale Papaya gift bag.
I stamped a floral image from the Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set onto the front of the bag. Then I wrapped some Soft Succulent Sheer Ribbon around the base of the bag and ties a bow. The ribbon was secured on the back of the bag with some Stampin’ Seal adhesive.
I cut a 2″ strip of Pale Papaya cardstock and then a 1-1/2″ and 1″ strips of Hand Penned DSP before Iused the Banner Triple Punch to create the tags for the front of the gift bag. The layered banners were attached to the gift bag using some adhesive and a Clever Clasp. The ‘Thanks’ sentiment, from the Hand=Penned Petals Stamp Set, was stamped onto another small piece of the DSP before being adhered to the front of the layered tags. Finally, I added a few Genial Gems for that little touch of bling.
This gift bag is perfect for all manner of treats to give to someone special. What would you pop inside the gift bag? Who would you give it to?
Happy stamping.
