Today's share is a cute little gift box I made for my daughter Daisy's teachers. Well i made 9 of them infact! She is 4 years old and has just left her nursery to start full time at a new school in September, so she had been going to the same nursery since she had just turned 2!
The little boxes are actually unfinished Kraft Board boxes, intended for wedding favours. I used the fab SU Designers Series Paper Stack which I think is probably some of the most useful & useable papers we have. The designs are very versatile & they come in all of the colours in the SU family!
As you can see from the photos, I've covered the base of the box with a strip of the paper, and the sides of the lid with the pool party ruffled ribbon. ( I painted the top of the lid & the edges with white paint before decorating )
Then using the Blossom Punch from the summer mini, I punched 1 flower in green which was glued flat to the lid, and punched 5 further flowers in 2 shades of pink to make the blossom itself.
Next, I put a hole in the middle of each pink flower, then squirted them with water on both sides to soften the fibres of the card. Then after really scrunching the flowers up, I used a brad to secure all the flowers together & teased them open slightly until I was happy with the look of my blossom.
Last part was to glue the blossom to the lid of the box & that's it!
I put a little bracelet inside each box as Daisy's teachers are all ladies. The gifts went down really well & Daisy was very proudly handing them out! :)
I also made a really quick thank you card to match the boxes, as shown in the photos.
Time to relax now after my Blossom punch workshop today, I will share more pics & details of that another day for you.
Hope you enjoyed seeing this little project,
