A quick blog entry for a gift box I finished today. Thank goodness I am entering contests for crafty packaging and not for "Who has the tidiest craft room?" because if there were 500 entrants showing pics of their craft room and I was one of them, I believe I would place 500th. It is a disaster in my crafty area! Tsk tsk!
On to the gift box...
It is a busy time of year so in lieu of listing my steps, I think I will just list products used:
- Just Rite- Filigree Leaves Background Stamp, Lace Medallion Labels, Samantha Walker Lace Hearts Dies, Enjoy The Day Vintage Labels Four
- Kraft Journal- Kraft paper
- Graphic 45- Birdsong paper, butterflies
- Tim Holtz- Distress Stain in Antique Linen, Broken China Distress Marker
- Gold Pearl pen, black card stock, ribbon, Stickles, yellow mini pearls
So there you have it! My first decorated gift box. Hope you liked it. :)
Have a great evening!
Hugs,
Hugs,

ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! My craft room is forbidden by all! I can't even stand it myself. This time of year I am just scrambling from one project to the next among everything else, so it gets neglected!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your gorgeous work with us at The Kraft Journal!
Absolutely gorgeous!! I love the design and papers!! My craft room could give you a run for that 500th spot...it is scary messy!! Have a great day :)

Gorgeous,Kathy Jo!!
ReplyDeleteThis is marvelous, Kathy Jo!! I think creative people work best amongst our supplies…lots of supplies…scattered everywhere. Or that's what I tell myself sometimes! We wouldn't have ever known your room was a mess by the beauty of this box!
