It has been a very long time since I posted on this blog. It's nice to come back to where everything started, and be in touch with old blog friends again.
Today, I am going to share some
photos taken of a very special gift set that I made.
I took an empty CostCo Christmas treat box that has front magnetic closures and covered the box inside and out with Stampin' Up 'Timeless Elegance' DSP.
I used the 'Ornate Tag Topper' punch on both ends of the black cardstock to create the box label. From the side you can see the secondary exterior paper.
In
this next photo you see the interior, and the fact that I had to add
magnets to the flap because with the store paper layer and then my own
on top of it, the magnets needed some help to close the flap.
In
the center I created a long box dividing the space into two sections.
This box is meant to hold pens and such. At the back end of the pen
compartment you'll see a tiny box. I created this to hold stamps, a roll
of stamps.
Here
is the little stamp box. It measures 1 3/4" square, by 1 3/4" high. I
used the Word Window punch to make the little 'stamps' tag.
Next
you see a dozen 3 x 3 cards made for the Card Box Gift Set. (I'm not
showing them individually, but if you click on the photo, you can see
the image a little larger to get a better look at them.)
Here are 14 tags that I made real quick to try and coordinate with the cards made for last year's card classes.
There
are 14 cards in this gift set, so I had to split the pile into two. You
will recognise these cards from last year's classes and postings.
The first seven cards...
The next seven cards...
With
all of the cards out of the box, you can see that rather than make a
box for each section, I wanted to see the DSP without having to cover
all the boxes with more DSP. So I decided to hold the cards in their
sections by just attaching ribbon on the bottom and tying them around
each stack of cards.

FOR SALE
This
Card Gift Set holds 14 cards, 14 gift tags, and twelve 3 x 3 gift
cards! If you were to total up all the items created for this set, it
would come to $92.50! With this box, once the cards and tags are gone,
you can keep adding purchased or your own hand made items to put inside.
Great gift, right!
Unfortunately
this Gift Set did not sell at the Vendors Market last Wednesday (for the asking price of $75). But I am
willing to go down in price if anyone is interested in purchasing this
Gift Set...somewhere around $65.00.... It could be a Valentines gift,
Easter gift, Mother's Day gift, Birthday gift.... If you are interested,
email me (glimmercraft.sabrina@gmail.com) and we can make arrangements. I'll even ship it with the
shipping cost added to the price we agree on.
Happy Papercrafting!
