After I made the ‘Beautiful Journey’ card using a piece of DSP with radiating rings and the constellations I had another idea about how to use this DSP.

I went straight to the centre and worked my way out – 7″ for a gift box lid. There are lots of off cuts to use!

I have made a box that is 3″x 3″x 4.5″ and the lid is 3″x 3″x 2″.

I was sooooo pleased by the way the brass rings scalloped at the corners of the lid.

The feather quills and sentiment were stamped onto the BRASS FOIL using Staz On Jet Black ink and then die cut using the TASTEFUL LABELS DIES and THE WORLD MAP DIES.

The gold trim from the FOREVER GREENERY TRIM COMBO worked well with the brass.

Check out that corner – it was not planned, but so fabulous to see!

Woohoo – feeling very clever!

What would you pop inside this gift box for someone about to set off on an adventure?

If you have people in your life that make the world a better place, then your life is rich.

Sending a card to one of those people, with the sentiment ‘YOU MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE’, will let them know how special they are to you.

Early Espresso, Mossy Meadow and Whisper White work so well together! And these two pieces of DSP are monochromatic stunners.

This is the first time I have used the ANTIQUED CORNERS from the embellishments that also include SLIDES, which I have used before.

I am very pleased with the way the corners have framed the compass and sentiment.

Finally, adding a piece of FAUX SUEDE RIBBON and an ANTIQUED SLIDE sets off the sentiment.

What do you think? Does the card need anything else? Leave a comment to let me know what you think!

Earlier in the year, I met a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators. One of the things we did at the event was a SWAP.

This is one of the swaps I received. I am so sorry that I do not have the name of the demo who made it. It is made using a 6″x 3″ DSP.

It inspired me to make a bundle of them, in increasing sizes.

The smallest box is the same size as its inspiration. The largest uses a 12″x 6″piece of DSP.

They could hold all sorts of interesting travel related goodies to give to someone heading away on an adventure – or – gifts for someone starting a ‘new beginning’.
