Stamp With Kim

I just wanted to share with you, another lovely pressie I was given at convention this year.  This was from Lyn and I fell in love with it right away!  It’s many things!  A lovely gift box: 

With 4 drawers that Lyn filled with goodies:

She’s decorated it beautifully using Rich Razzleberry and the Cottage Wall DSP.  And the other clever thing is that if you undo the ribbon, the top opens up into the card!  She’s so clever and lives on the Gold Coast if you are in that area!  I felt so honoured that she thought of me, and like I said I just loved it!

Well that’s it from me today!  Keep your eye peeled over the weekend!  Very exciting things happening,  Saturday night at midnight, the Stampin’ Up! ”Last Chance” list will be announced… these are all the stamp sets that will not be going into the next Catalogue (starting Sept 1st) and so the items on this list will be avilable only while stocks last… So check back as I’m sure I’ll be here at midnight tomorrow night posting that list for you! (Well I’ll be home from celebrating my daughter’s 7th birthday so I’m not waiting up just for the list…. or am I? heheh)

I made a little box just before convention this year as a little pressie for some lovely friends.  I’ve been asked for a while for the instructions and FINALLY had put them together with a little Christmas box!  So here it is:

1.  Cut cardstock 21cm x 28cm.

2.  Score along 21cm side at 1.5cm, 8.4cm and 16.3cm

3.  Score along the 28cm side at 1.6cm, 8.1cm, 14.8cm, 21.3cm and 28cm. Your card should look like this.

4.  Cut along lines as per picture.  (click to make bigger) Leave the flaps with the indicated measurements.

5. Round corners with punch as per picture.

6.  Using punch, punch a window.

7.  turn over and stamp a back ground of your box.

8.  On the inside of the box, stick a piece of clear acetate over the window.

9.  Now stick your box together with sticky strip.

10.  Now decorate your box!  

I have a little bag of Lindt Christmas Chocolates in this box and decorated the box to co ordinate with them.  It wasn’t until I was finished that I realised that my “christmas” box looked more like 4th of July! LOL  Oh well. 

The stamps used for this box are from Spotlight on Christmas.

And here’s the first box that I decorated before convention.  This one using Petal Pizzazz, Build A Brad and the Curly Label Punch for the window.

And finally…Where did I get my inspiration for these boxes from originally!!!  From here:…… 

A simple little Twinings Tea box!  See anything can make a good gift box!
