Graphic 45 Safari Adventure "Thanks" gift set

Hello Crafty Friends!

Don't you just love playing with new crafty products?  Not only is playing with new Graphic 45 paper a treat, so is smelling the paper.  The scent of a fresh Graphic 45 paper pad invigorates the soul and the colorful patterns brighten the spirit.  The new Graphic 45 Safari Adventure pad is no exception.  Love it!

I decided to create a sweet little Thank you gift set using the pad.  First, I pulled out two stamp set from Quietfire Design.  (Quietfire Design stamps and Graphic 45 papers are a match made in heaven!)  The "Thanks" from Thanks Cuddlers stamp set was used on the card front:

And the "for you" from the Being Thankful stamp set was used on the wee gift box:

The Kraft card box was die cut using Spellbinders die set LF-012, Square Petal Top Box.  I fussy cut various pieces of Safari patterned paper using circle dies and adhered to the top of the box.  

The sides of the box were embellished using various tags, stamps and other Safari images.

A tent fold 4.25" x 5.5" Kraft card was created.  Mounted on the card were several pieces of Safari paper as shown.

The Thanks was stamped on ivory G45 paper, cut and mounted on black card stock.  

The embellies in the upper left corner were too fun to collect.  On the compass I applied Viva Decor's clear Pearl Pen to give the appearance of glass.

Such a great paper collection!  Such vibrant colors and patterns.  

Here is another look at the box:

And one final peek at the set:

Thanks for stopping by!  I do hope you enjoyed the gift set.  :)

Have a happy, crafty day!
