Good Afternoon Everyone
I have been a little quite recently, I'll be honest - I'm struggling at the minute with finding any quality time in my craft room. I have two small Girls who are 4 and 2, we are having busy days and inconsistent nights - sleeping is a little bit of a nightmare at the moment - so those combined along with fitting in everything else that life requires there's been very little time to get going with my crafting. But I am managing to get some time to create and hopefully things will balance out soon enough.
Today I am Hopping with the Fabulous Ink Stamp Share Group for this month's Showcase Hop. This hop doesn't have a set theme, just an opportunity to share something you have created using the Fresh as a Daisy Suite. The prints are so pretty and the colour combinations are fabulous. It's a very easy and simple 4"x3"x2" lidded box - so you can fit all sorts of goodies inside.
Admittedly I have used Old Olive Card for my base which doesn't appear within the suite, but I don't have a piece of card large enough in the other two shades and it works, so I went with it!

-------------------------------------------
Take the Old Olive card stock and in your Simply Scored and score on all four side at 2". Fold and burnish all the score lines and then cut up all the squares and notch to create tabs.
Repeat the above process with the Pecan Pie card stock, but score at 1" on all four sides.
Pop the DSP panels into the Pecan Pie card stock, which will become the lid.
Add Seal+ to the tabs you created - fold up the Tab on the Old Olive to create the base, and the tabs on the Pecan Pie to create the lid.
Stamp the sentiment in Pecan Pie ink and cut out using the stitched label die.
Add this piece to the top of the box lid.
I hope you have enjoyed my Project today, it's a really simple box to create, and would look fabulous in many colour ways and papers - please do continue through the hop and show all the other participants some love.

Cute box, I think the Old Olive makes a good contrast to the other colors in the decorative paper. We all have things to deal with in our daily lives - I find a little crafting puts me in my happy place :-)
