Noel Gift Box

Merry Christmas! I hope that you are having a wonderful day spending time with your loved ones and friends. 

Today's post, is all about this Noel Gift Box that I've used to wrap a gift in for this holiday season.  To create my gift box, I've used dies from the Paper Flower Collection and stamps from Joset Designs. You'll want to read below as I have a full tutorial on how to recreate my gift box at home.   


The first two steps use the Pizza Box Die.

Die cut the pizza box out of a piece of kraft cardstock. Ink the edges of the pizza box using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


I chose two pieces of patterned paper from the Warmest Wishes Paper Pack. Die cut the scallop square out of one of the patterned papers. Die cut the stitched square out of the other patterned paper. Distress the edges of both pieces. Ink the edges of both pieces using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


Die cut the Elegant Ornament out of a piece of lightly patterned white paper. Trim the ornament down to 3 3/4".


From the Pizza Box die, die cut the 2 1/4" stitched circle out of a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. From the Classic Christmas Sentiments, you'll need the Noel word. Apply Festive Berries Distress Ink to the Noel word and stamp in the middle of the circle. Distress the edges of the circle. Ink the edges of the circle using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


From the Leaves & Branches die, die cut the skinny branch twice out of a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Forest Moss Distress Ink over the entire surface of each branch.

From the Winter Greens die, die cut the holly branch three times and the round leaves branch twice out of a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Peeled Paint Distress Ink over the entire surface of each holly branch. Shape the holly branches as desired.


Assemble the box.


Adhere the scallop square to the top of the pizza box. Foam square the stitched square to the scallop square.


In the top left side of the stitched square, adhere a holly branch, a skinny branch and a rounded leaf branch as desired. In the middle left side of the stitched square, adhere a holly branch as desired. In the bottom left side of the stitched square adhere the remaining branches as desired.


Adhere the elegant ornament to the stitched circle. Foam square the stitched circle to the right of the branches, making sure it covers all of the ends of the branches.


Here are a few closeup photos of the finished gift box.




Here is the finished Noel Gift Box.

Peace Gift Tag

  Happy Saturday!

For today's project I'm sharing this Peace Gift Tag perfect to add to a Christmas gift. To create my gift tag, I've used the NEW dies and stamps from the Beautiful Blooms Collection as well as dies from the Planner Essentials Collection and stamps from the Art Journal Collection. You'll want to read below as I have a full tutorial on how to recreate my gift tag at home.


To start, die cut a large tag from the Planner Essentials 26 - Planner Pocket 4 - Tag & Toppers out of a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Sprinkle Magenta Nuance in Red and Grey on the tag. Spritz the powder with water and allow to dry.


Once the tag has dried, you'll need the circle stamp from the Frosty Patterns Stamp Set. Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the stamp and stamp randomly on the tag. Reapply ink to the stamp as needed and stamp another four times. Distress the edges of the tag. Ink the edges of the tag using Black Soot Distress Ink using a blending tool with foam.


The next three steps use the Peace Stamp Set and coordinating Peace Die set.

Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the poinsettia stamp and stamp onto a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Reapply ink to the stamp and stamp on the same piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Colour the poinsettias in using a waterbrush and the Watercolour Palette. Die cut the poinsettias out using the coordinating die. Ink the edges of the poinsettias using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the branch stamp and stamp onto a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Reapply ink to the stamp and stamp on the same piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Repeat the previous step one more time. Colour the branches in using a waterbrush and the Watercolour Palette. Die cut the branches out using the coordinating die. Ink the edges of the branches using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the peace stamp and stamp onto a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Die cut the peace word out using the coordinating die. 


Apply the three branches as desired on the tag.


Use foam squares to adhere the two poinsettias on the tag as desired so that they cover the ends of the branches.


Adhere the Peace word to the bottom right side of the tag as desired.


To finish the tag, tie a piece of white ribbon through the hole at the top of the tag. 


Here are a few closeup photos of the finished gift tag.




Here is the finished Peace Gift Tag.
