To Brighten Your Day

Happy Monday!  I hope you had an enjoyable weekend!  I was able to do some stamping but not enough!!

This box is very similar to one I posted a few weeks ago and you can see it HERE.  I used a different stamp set on this box - French Foliage - but the colors are the same as the box in the previous post.

I made a bow and tag and attached it to the top. I meant to round all of the corners of my tag but of course remembered after I had attached my bow and it was too then too difficult to insert my punch.  Sometimes there's lots of trial and error while you are creating!  Only one corner is adhered to the box with glue dots and some dimensionals.  I used the Kraft Gift Boxes from the Holiday Mini.  These boxes are a perfect size, not too big and not too small.  I am going to give a gift card to someone that could use some cheering up and thought I would put it in this box on top of some shredded cardstock.

Glitter Queens Blog Hop Day 4

Thank you for joining us on Day 4 of the Glitter Queens Blog Hop!  I have another project for you using the stamp set It's a Wrap Holidays and one of the new Kraft Gift Boxes in the Holiday Mini Catalog.  The approximate size of the box is 3  1/2  x  3  1/2   x  2  1/2 and it is made from food-safe material.  It is is perfect for a small gift, a cupcake, cookies or chocolates! 

As I did on the Give Thanks card earlier in the week, I made my own DSP on Very Vanilla cardstock.  I used a different stamp set called Day of Gratitude.  This set was in a mini catalog last year and I was so happy to see it in the 2011-2012 Idea Book and Catalog.  I just love it.  I used Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze and Old Olive ink to stamp three different images. Then I ran each of the pieces through my Big Shot with the Perfect Dots embossing folder although that isn't showing up in my picture I mounted each one to a piece of Cajun Craze cardstock and wrapped it up with Old Olive Striped Grosgrain Ribbon.  I also ran my tag through the Big Shot and used an Antique Brad to attach it to the ribbon.

I have continued to enjoy all of your wonderful comments.  Thank you so much.  I did have one person ask if I have any videos.  I do not at this time but it is something that I really want to try and hope to have on my blog in the very near future.

Have fun as you continue on the blog hop!  A link to all of the Glitter Queens in the hop can be found in the post on Monday!  Have a wonderful day!
