When I chose a piece of paper from the IN GOOD TASTE DSP for a gift box, I realised the texture was exactly the as my winter dressing gown … and the same colour!
I wanted to make a narrow gift box that would hold a small sachet of face scrub. I like finding little things to make gift boxes for.
Who else likes making gift boxes?
Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.
These are the products I used to make this gift box. If you live in Australia, you can order any of them through me.

I have been working on a project for an online colour challenge – a Facebook group, Colour INKspiration Challenges, posts a new challenge every fortnight.
The most recent challenge was inspired by this cute pair of boots – and, again, this would not be my ‘go to’ colour combination.
At first, I started using the BIRDS AND BRANCHES BUNDLE but wasn’t thrilled with the results. I wasn’t feeling my designing mojo.
I like playing with layering and dimension – but these cards are not doing it for me.
So, I decided to go on a different tangent – feathers!
I used the NATURE’S THOUGHTS DIES to cut lots of feathers in the three colour challenge colours.
Then, I used the new OLD WORLD PAPER 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER to create this amazing effect – a technique that I haven’t used in way to many years!
And, yes – I am happy now!
The sentiment is from the TASTEFUL TOUCHES STAMP SET and I used the TASTEFUL LABELS DIES to cut it out.
I love the feel of the WHISPER WHITE 1/2″ FAUX LINEN RIBBON from the FLOWERS FOR EVERY SEASON RIBBON COMBO PACK. I will be ordering quite a few more of this pack.
I am much happier with this final card.
It just goes to show that you don’t always get it ‘right’ the first time around.
This proves that perseverance pays off – and that you can reclaim your mojo!

The IN GOOD TASTE SUITE is stunning.
I love the images in the TASTEFUL TOUCHES STAMP SET. It has gorgeous textures and natural elements – a feather, flower and branch. And the sentiments are perfect for that special person – and the fonts are so stylish.
I am looking forward to making more cards using the full range of the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper – 12 different designs – tiles, wood, fabric, brickwork … There are so many possibilities!
I also used the FAUX SUEDE TRIM and an ANTIQUED SLIDE. It is such a great finish.
