I'm stamping away . . .

The best medicine is a good day in the Stamp Studio. Someone, and I apologize for not knowing who gave this little box to me (Sharyn?) and I took the measurements and stamp lifted it, using Sonoma paper. So easy and so much FUN!
This adorable little gift box measures 3"x3" and is made with just scraps. I used a piece of self adhesive velcro (found at Michaels) as a closure for it and it perfectly holds those square Ghiradelli square chocolates (my favorite).





This is the little box open. I found it more sturdy to add the vecro over the decorate smokey Plum piece as well as part of the Olive paper.

This is box open, with a top view. The box is built in two pieces. The outside section and then an interior section that actually holds the treats. I did have to use the extra super duper tape (comes on a red roll) because the weight of the candies will pull the box apart and then you are forced to eat those candies while you try and glue it back together. Darn.

If you are interested in learning how to make this box, let me know, perhaps you could come and play in my Stamp Studio, or better yet, schedule a fun class. The cost would be the cost of material only. :-)


Hope to stamp with you soon!  Happy New Year, Elaine
