JUST FOR YOU

I found a cute little Nivea Moisturising Cream travel tub when I was at the supermarket – perfect for a small treat for someone nice.

So, time to make another gift box.

This time I used the LABEL ME FANCY PUNCH to punch slots on opposite sides of the lid, for the ribbon to pass through.

I also used the punch for the tag that guides the ribbon on top of the box.

It’s fun making unique boxes for different gifts – take a few measurements and draw out some plans – sometimes it takes a few trials when I’m making a trickier style.

Who else makes their own gift boxes and bags?

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

BIRD PUZZLE

I have been thinking of jigsaws, although we don’t have any. After we downsized, for our move to Brisbane last year, they were one of the items donated to a local charity.

So, I made my own 16 piece puzzle.

I stamped and water coloured my image using the FREE AS A BIRD stamp set, before dusting off my PUZZLE PIECES DIES and, hey presto, one jigsaw puzzle.

I love my messy water colouring.

The background flower was stamped using the Smoky Slate Classic Stampin’ Pad – but I stamped off first.

I had a relaxing time making this card, especially the water colouring.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping … and water colouring!
