Good Evening Everyone!
Today I'm taking part in the last Touches of Ink Blog Hop of 2023! I can't actually believe I'm actually saying that! Each month we hop along and share projects made focusing our creating around a bundle or a suite - so there's no set theme.
I'm using the Sending Cheer Bundle to create a coordinating set to gift - a 4x4" card and a cute little gift box. It's a very simple lidded gift box, that measures - 4 1/2" x 2 1/2" x 1" and I've decorated it with the lovely one of the presents, adding some more of the presents to the card front.
What do you think?

To CREATE TO BOX.
Take the Base card stock and score as follows:-
Long Side - 1/2", 3", 4" & 6 1/2"
Short Side - 4 1/2"
Fold and burnish all the score lines well, the holding the card horizontal, with the single score line towards the bottom. cut up all the score lines and notch into the squares to create tabs. Remove the thin rectangle and notch in the long thin rectangle. Like this -
Take the four Pieces of Gray Granite and with Gray Granite ink stamp the three sentiments randomly to create a tone on tone background. Add all the stamped panels to the card...
Add some adhesive onto the thin tab, fold round and adhere to the opposite side, fold in the bottom and glue down to create the base.
Take the remaining piece of Basic Black and score on all 4 sides at 1", cut into all the squares to create tabs.
Fold and adhere these to create the lid. Place this on top of the open box.
Bring in your Cut & Emboss Machine and cut out the ribbon and bow shape four times - twice in Parakeet Party and Twice in Old Olive.
Stamp four of the present images onto a scrap of Basic White I used Starry Sky, Sweet Sorbet and Tahitian tide. Also Stamp the 'For You' Sentiment in Starry Sky twice and trim down.
Add the ribbon die cuts to each present.
Place one of the presents and one sentiment onto the front of your box. Make sure the lid is on and add is centrally between the bottom of the box and the bottom edge of the lid - otherwise it make look a bit off.
TO CREATE THE CARD
Take the Basic Black Card stock and fold along the score line to create your card base, adding the Basic White piece to the inside.
Ink up the three sentiments in Gray Granite and stamp all over the Gray Granite card stock, as you did above. I chose to do these in straight lines, rather than random to make then look slightly different.
Add this to the card front.
Take the remaining sentiment and three presents and arrange on the card front.
