- Score a 8.5 x11 sheet of cardstock at 2,5,7,10
- then turn it and score the 8.5 side at 2" and fold up use sticky strip to adhere.
- Cut out a designer topper with the Cottage Wall DP in the form of a Top Note adhere the top note to the back of your box on the outside back with sticky strip
- then use your cropadile and put two holes in the top to run your NEW silky smooth Satin 5/8" Old Olive ribbon through to make your handle.
- Adhere the pieces of ribbon inside the box with glue dots so it will stay down.
- For the front I used a piece of velcro to keep the top down, but first I embellished it with a corduroy brad to make it purty!
- I used the two hearts that were left over from the cut out heart from the Movers and shakers card and adhered them to the front of the box with dimensionals and applied the sentiment with orchid ink on whisper white.

Lounging around my stamp studio
This is what it looks like from the top. I made spice bread for all my customers who orders arrived this week and are picking them up! It is a bread box, with bread actually in it. Yes I baked. Well... truthfully my husband did help with that part.
Perfect gift for neighbors, co-workers, teachers, etc.. I sure hope my customers like them!!
Supplies:
Taken with Teal Card stock/Ink and the Holiday Lounge Designer Series paper
Stamps: Retired SAB set from last year
This is a new lil dilly I made with my NEW petal card die cut that arrived today. I think I have waited a year to get this and make it. Another Serenity Stamper Vicky DiFabrizio made these last year for a craft show and I just thought they were too cute!! Perfect for table party favors and just a sweet gesture of sweetness!! Wrapped inside is a Ghiradelli chocolate!Perfect for lunch box surprises!!
Sentiment is from the level 2 Holiday punch set. Holiday Lounge is the DP.1/2" real red grosgrain ribbon.
I love the postage stamp of Santa Claus in that Holiday Punch Level 2 set.
I stamped it in teal ink on whisper white and adhered it to the top of the wrapped chocolate.
I really had fun making these thanks girls for the inspiration! This is the fun part of being an upline you teach them a few things then they teach you alot of things!!
