Handmade Gift BOOK Style BOX

Hi my Stampin’ Friends,

today’s project was designed by me, as I made a project last year for a Book Bible style gift box with surprise gift and it was extremely popular.  One of my subscribers recently asked if I could make a larger version and as tea lights are my favourite things in winter I thought I would replicate my original box to hold 6 tea lights. 

However, I recently had a head cold and I am sure that is why I had two disaster boxes for the insides of the book.  I just couldn’t seem to get the measurements correct, however, I am pleased to say that all is well now.  Phew, heaves a sigh of relief!!

I have used the Nature’s Poem Designer Series Papers as I just felt they co-ordinated well with my tea lights and autumn, if you get what I mean.  The pack has 12 Sheets which measure 12 x 12″ and there are 12 designs in all, as there is a design on the front and back.  They are so BEAUTIFUL.   

I must say that I am really pleased with the design adding Wink of Stella (my goodness do I just love this stuff!!) to my flowers and leaves on both the insides of the box as well as the outside.

The sentiment does actually “make me smile”.  I have toned the colours in my DSP and co-ordinated them with Blackberry Bliss and Petal Pink card stock.  My Calypso Coral ribbon seemed to go well with these colours too, as I couldn’t find any Petal Pink Ribbon in my crafting stash.   

My flower on the outside has been stamped using the Pop of Petals Stamp Set with matching punch.  The leaf punch was used to quickly punch a couple of sets of leaves giving my design an elegant look.  I am “over the moon” with how wonderful my Box looks not just on the OUTSIDE but also on the INSIDE”.

So here is my video that shows how I made it and I hope that you will enjoy making it too.   All the measurements in inches and centimetres have been given in the video tutorial.

Should you need any crafting supplies I would be delighted if you could choose me as your chosen Demonstrator, as I do have a Customer Rewards Club.  I would be very pleased to earn your business.

Happy Crafting WITH LOVE from SANDRA xx
