I love making boxes! It's kind a new thing for me! Cards are so fun - but boxes are just too fun! Beate of Splitcoast Stampers has a fantastic tutorial on how to create a Gable Box out of {1} sheet of 8-1/2" x 11" card stock! There's hardly any cutting and assembling this is SO easy!
My colors for my box were inspired by the Inkspirations Colour challenge to use: Kraft, Real Red, Basic Gray, Whisper White, (and I threw in a little Basic Black!!!).
The Pink Elephant also had a challenge to use the color Red, Scallops, and a Bow! Here's what I did for that challenge:
- The bottom edge of the belly band of DSP around my box is punched using the Eyelet Border Scallop Punch.
- My bow at the top of my box holds my box together.
- The color Red is showcased on my ribbon, tag with sentiment stamped in Real Red ink and die-cut daisy flower!
- Looking for some Basic Gray DSP?? Look no further than the Noevea Chic DSP pack! I used a sheet from this LAST CHANCE PAPER pack as my belly band for my box! This pack of paper is 'While Supplies Last' and will soon be retiring!
- My bow is tied with the Real Red 3/4" Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon! Another great accessory on the LAST CHANCE RIBBON LIST! As of today it's still available for purchase at a 50% Discount! This spool of ribbon contains 10 yards and is on sale for $4.48.
- My Daisy centerpiece showcases a favorite of mine, the Basic Gray Corduroy Brads! These are on the LAST CHANCE ACCESSORY LIST and are also on sale for a 50% Discount. The package of brads and buttons contains 24 pieces and you can order it now for $4.98.

Beautiful, Kari. Love all the elements you've used, and the sentiment looks great punched out with the Word Window punch, then layered onto the tag.
ReplyDeleteAwesome creation Kari! Your beautiful dahlia is set off perfectly by the big red bow, very pretty :)
