BOHO BIRTHDAY GIFT BOX

The designer series paper in the BOHO INDIGO PRODUCT MEDLEY is one of my favourites. I love the two blue tones, Misty Moonlight and Night of Navy, used alongside Very Vanilla.

This cute little 3″x 3″ x 1″ box can fit all sorts of chocolate treats or other goodies inside.

Using the corner rounder from the DETAILED TRIO PUNCH leaves a soft edge to the DSP pieces and front flap.

The Medley also has these gorgeous paper flowers. There are two sizes and I love the way they are finished with a little wooden bead.

I was able to punch the small round hole, for the ribbon, using the LABEL ME FANCY PUNCH.

This is such a lovely little gift box and I am so pleased with the way it finished up.

What would you put inside?

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

My lovely niece, Eleanor, contacted me recently and asked if I would make a birthday card for her to give to her mum (my sister).

She wanted me to somehow include ‘super’ as a reference to, not only to her getting closer to an age when she can access her superannuation, but to her work as an economist.

It was a fun project to make and it’s in the mail so that Elle has time to send it to Karen.

The only problem is, I now need to make a different card to send to Karen!

It has been ages since I made a pop up box.

I wanted the card to be bright and shiny, so I chose some of the BRIGHTLY GLEAMING SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER.

The copper foil looks so striking against the Pretty Peacock and Night of Navy.

I decided to use the PLAYFUL ALPHABET DIES to cut out the letters for Karen’s initials and the word ‘super’.

This is the first time I have used the ENVELOPES DIES to actually cut out an envelope liner – I’ve used for them for all sorts of different projects.

I made this card during my Facebook Live – as they say, two birds with one stone.

These are the measurements, as promised:

CARD BASE 8.5″ x 5″, scored along the long side at 2″, 4″, 6″ and 8″ then, on the short side at 2″.

INSERTS Cut two pieces of card stock #.25″ x 1″ and score at both ends at 5/8″.

DSP Three pieces 2 7/8″ x 1 7/8″; three pieces 1 7/8″ x 1 7/8″

CARD STOCK One piece 4 7/8″ x 1 7/8″

Here is a link to my Facebook Live to see how I made the card – just click.

I hope you like the card as much as my niece does.

HELLO GIFT BOX

This project has been brewing in my mind for a while.

When I first saw the detailed FIELD TILES DIES, especially the elaborate design of my chosen die, I began seeing this gift box.

After contemplating, measuring and planning, I started!

This was going to be a 3″ cube gift box.

I cut five pieces of Night of Navy card stock, measuring 3″x 3″. I did the same with some adhesive sheets and placed them on one side of the square pieces.

And then I used my new STAMPIN’ CUT & EMBOSS MACHINE and the totally brilliant MAGNETIC CUTTING PLATE! It took just one pass through the machine to perfectly cut the pieces!!!!!

FIELD TILES DIES
I used the die – bottom left.

The combination of BUMBLEBEE and NIGHT OF NAVY is striking.

The design of the die means that on each side the alignment of the elements is simply stunning.

The ribbon, that is part of this medley, is a grosgrain with soft, ‘frayed’ edges.

The sentiment, from the TODAY’S TILES STAMP SET, is great for an any time gift.

And, last but not least, some Night of Navy HOLIDAY RHINESTONE BASIC JEWELS to add a touch of bling.

What do you think?

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

These are the amazing products I used to make this gift box. If you live in Australia, you can order any of them through me.
