LOVELY THANK YOU GIFT BOX

I love having lots of gift boxes on hand, ready to fill with goodies , for when there is someone to share my thanks.

A few days ago I posted a birthday gift box I made using the BOHO INDIGO PRODUCT MEDLEY. I have used the same colours and products for this gift box.

This time, I made a lid using the second largest of the CELEBRATION LABELS DIES.

For the greeting label, I die cut two of the smaller dies, from the same die set. When they are overlaid the way I did, the end result is great – super happy with this little discovery.

I am really pleased with how this gift box finished up and now all I need is that special person to give this to.

Now onto an anniversary card.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping and gift box making.

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

A RAINBOW KIND OF BIRTHDAY

Over the last week or so, I have been using some stamp sets and other products that I haven’t used before.

Today I used the BUFFALO CHECK BACKGROUND STAMP.

After tossing around a few ideas, I decided to use my STAMPIN’ WRITE MARKERS ™ to create a coloured rainbow.

I used markers, primarily, from the BRIGHTS family – POPPY PARADE, MANGO MELODY, DAFFODIL DELIGHT, GRANNY APPLE GREEN, PACIFIC POINT, GORGEOUS GRAPE and HIGHLAND HEATHER.

The hand colouring looks a little patchy but I’m really pleased with the effect.

Then I used the CELEBRATION LABELS DIES to cut the stamped rainbow buffalo check.

I used two die cut pieces of Gorgeous Grape to create a mat to adhere the rainbow to – then I popped it up with dimensionals.

The white faux linen ribbon from the FLOWERS FOR EVERY SEASON RIBBON COMBO teams nicely with the LINEN THREADS.

I chose some Mango Melody ARTISTRY BLOOMS SEQUINS to finish the card with a little bling.

For the envelope, I coloured the stamp again as you can see.

This will be the card I send to my sister for her birthday this Thursday. So when I post it, with her gift, on Monday – it will be a “little-bit-late”. This is the perfect sentiment for the birthday cards I send.

I hope that Karen likes her birthday goodies.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.
