Elegantly Said True Love Stories Lidded Gift Box. InspireINK Blog Hop. February 2022

Good Morning Everyone

Today I'm taking part in the InspireINK blog hop and this month we have a colour challenge with a Love theme, as it's the Month of Love!

I've used the Elegantly Said stamp set with this fabulous sentiment on my little gift box - it's a great way to gift something to a loved one. I love this soft mix of Gray Granite, Petal Pink and Crumb Cake.

Measurements

Gray Granite Card Stock

1pc - 8" x 6"

1pc - scrap

Petal Pink Card Stock

1pc - 6" x 4"

Very Vanilla Card Stock

Scraps

--------------------------------------

Take your Gray Granite card stock and score at 2" on all four sides. Fold and burnish the score lines - then notch into all the squares in the corners to create tabs, like this....

Now take the Petal Pink Card stock and stamp the large flourish all over it on Petal Pink ink. Once dry score at 1" on all four sides, bringing the card stock away form the edge of your simply scored just a smidgen, a little bit so that it makes the lid fit better.

Add tear and tape to the tabs of both the lid and base and make then both up by folding in the tabs.

Stamp the stocking in Pear Pizzazz ink and cut out with the coordinating die.

Ink up the sentiment in Crumb Cake ink and stamp onto a scrap of Petal Pink card stock then trim down. Add this in the bottom right of the lid of the box.

On a scrap of very vanilla card stock stamp the flower image twice, once in Petal Pink and once in Crumb cake. Take the petal pink flower and fussy cut just the two flower heads. Adhere this to the crumb cake image, covering the crumb cake flower heads below. Then fussy cut the whole flower image. Pop some dimensionals onto the back and add to the lid.

Finally place a couple of Pearls into the centre of the flowers.
