Gift Box II

Since I made this gift box, I've been itching to make another, so that's what I did today.  Instead of going with a Christmas theme, I went with a generic "For You" -

I based this box on three different challenges going on right now:

   

I used the color scheme from PCD's Color Splash Challenge and the layout from CPS's sketch.  Here's a close up of the front panel:

To finish it off I added a tag in honor of the CAS-ual Friday challenge using Mandarin and Charcoal twine from the Twinery:

Now that I've done a generic one, I better get back to the Christmas theme so I have plenty to use for gift boxes this holiday.  :)

Happy Monday!

Thanks a Bunch

For my birthday, I got a set of Prismacolor pencils which I've been itching to get.  I finally put them to use:

I love how they pop on the kraft colored card stock.  I cut the shape from the bottom right corner.  Masked off the strip across it and stamped the flowers.  After I colored them all in, I covered them with some crystal lacquer to make them shiny :-)  Pretty quick and simple!

Cereal Box turned Gift Box

I found this cereal that I love at Target a few months back. 

I've gone through about 10 boxes since then and I haven't had the heart to throw any of them out.  They're made from a pretty sturdy cardboard and have a little plastic lid, so I thought I could repurpose it for something.  Then I thought, it would make a great gift box for Christmas/Birthday gifts.  I pulled out some supplies and turned the box into this lovely:

 

I wrapped the box in a piece of patterned paper.  The 12x12 piece wasn't quite big enough, but I used the ribbon and scrap to fill in the last piece.  I stamped SOG's Tree Trimming Kaylee on some copic quality paper and color in her hair and skin.  I paper pieced the ornament she's holding and her clothes and accessories.  I added a little jingle bell to her headband.  I popped the front panel up on dimensionals over the ribbon.

 

To finish it all off, I stamped three of the gift images from Warm Wishes Tia in a stack and paper pieced each of them to creat a little to/from tag.  

I'm loving how it turned out and can't wait to work on the others I've been hoarding :-D

And since I used my SOG stamps, I'm throwing it in for the Get Odd Guest Challenge  Wish me luck!
