So, I couldn’t sleep Saturday morning because the idea crossed my mind that I could create a box using a Yardley’s soap box as a template. I know that plenty of people have done this, but I had not. 3:00am is the perfect time to try. With a piece of Whisper White card stock, a paper trimmer and some paper snips, I went to work on my first 3-D project from “scratch.”. Easy peasy!
Last night, I received a Stampin’ Up! order that contained the stamp set Every Little Thing – a perfect set for a small image on my little box! I went to work on a new box with colored card stock:
STEP ONE: Deconstruct soap box:
STEP TWO: Trace and cut out of card stock. I used Pacific Point. Score along the folds of the box.
STEP THREE: Decorate the box!
Stamp sets: Every Little Thing, Teeny Weeny Wishes
Paper: Pacific Point, Whisper White, Gumball Green
Inks: Basic Black, Pacific Point
Stampin’ Write Markers: Pacific Point, Gumball Green, Primrose Petals, Summer Starfruit
Accessories: Word Window Punch
you really wouldn’t think i could still be absolutely AMAZED by your creativity, bk… but you’ve done it again! outside of being ADORABLE… what a functional creation! think of all of the ways you could use a specially-designed custom gift box! i might just squeal i love this idea SO MUCH! the possibilities are endless when you consider all of the sentiments you could use (i’m looking at you, Teeny Tiny Wishes), and all of the miniature goodies you could wrap up in this little bundle of preciousness! who wouldn’t LOVE to recieve a gift enclosed in perfectly themed, made-with-love packaging!?
ARE YOU TAKING ORDERS FOR THESE YET???
Bravo!!!!! I am so happy you got such a great box out of a 3am epiphany.
