Gift boxes

Hi everyone, do you know there are only 3 more days left when you can order products from the summer mini catalogue and get the Reason to Smile for FREE when you spend £60?

Some of the products may appear in the new main catalogue which will launch on October 1st but there is no guarantee.

Today I'm showing you some gift boxes and matching cards which I have made using the Mixed Bunch stamp set and the Blossom punch which are both in the summer catalogue and may be discontinued. I found a tutorial for these gift boxes on Helen Read's blog. You can find it here.

I am starting a new job on Monday and have made a gift box for everyone in my current team, to be filled with chocolates. I also made a matching card for each one. The sentiment was stamped using Curly Cute. Here are some of them:

Melon Mambo cardstock and Flirtatious Speciality DSP:

 

 

 

Pool Party Cardstock and Sweet Shop DSP:

   

 

My personal favourite: Soft Suede cardstock and Mocha Morning DSP:

 

 

Here is a close up of the flower. I punched 4 flowers using the Blossom punch, using 4 different patterns from the designer papers. I then misted each flower with water, crumpled them and then stacked them. Each one has a stamped centre from the Mixed Bunch stamp set and has been fastened with a matching brad.

And here is one in Marina Mist cardstock and Nursery Nest DSP:

 

 

Here are all 4 of them with their matching cards:

 

And here are another 4 which I made with discontinued designer paper:

Remember all the speciality papers will be discontinued when the new catalogue comes out in October and the ones that are in the Summer mini will be discontinued in 3 days time. If you've loved these papers but haven't ordered any yet, then now is the time. Just contact me.   I'll be back tomorrow with the last of the cards made with the Reason to Smile stamp set. Get it while you can. x
