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.

 Happy Thursday!

I've been busy lately creating holiday gift tags perfect for adding to gifts this year, so today's post, is all about this Ho Ho Ho Gift Tag.  To create my gift tag, I've used dies from the Paper Flower Collection and the Planner Essentials Collection. You'll want to read below as I have a full tutorial on how to recreate my gift tag at home.  

To start, choose a piece of Christmasy patterned paper out of the Reminiscence the Book. Die cut the large tag from the Planner Essentials - 2 die out of the patterned paper. Distress the edges of the tag. Ink the edges of the tag using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Out of the Reminiscence the Book you'll need the Ho Ho Ho rectangle from the patterned paper. Distress the edges of the rectangle. Ink the edges of the rectangle using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

From the Leaves & Branches die, you'll need to choose one of the branches. Die cut the branch out twice from a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. 

The next two steps use the Florals 12 die.

Die cut the large holly leaf three times and the small holly leaf twice out of a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Mowed Lawn Distress Ink over the entire surface of all the leaves. Shape the leaves as desired.

Die cut the extra large poinsettia once, the large poinsettia three times, the medium poinsettia three times, the small poinsettia three times and the centre three times out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Fired Brick Distress Ink over the entire surface of all the poinsettias and centres. Shape the poinsettias as desired.

Foam square the Ho Ho Ho rectangle to the left hand side of the tag as desired.

Adhere the first poinsettia together which needs a extra large, large, medium, small poinsettia and a centre. Adhere the remaining two poinsettias together which need a large, medium, small poinsettia and a centre. Re-shape the poinsettias as needed.

On the bottom portion of the tag, adhere a branch as well as a large and small holly leaves as desired. In the top portion of the tag, adhere the remaining branch and holly leaves as desired.

Use foam squares to adhere the three poinsettia flowers around the Ho Ho Ho rectangle as well as the leaves and branches as desired.

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

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