Ornament Gift Box

Back in this post I showed you the ornaments that I had made for my downline at our Team Christmas Party. Today I thought I would share the Gift Box that I created to wrap them in!

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• This box is beyond simple to make – just roll the Fancy Favor Bigz XL Die through the Big Shot and it's all cut out and scored! All you have to do is pop it together and add a dab of adhesive. The perfect simplicity for mass quanitites!
• When selecting paper or cardstock for this die, you want to use either cardstock or Specialty Paper that is a little bit heavier than regular Designer Paper. Regular Designer Paper will work, but it won't be as durable and won't keep it shape as well.
• The window was created by punching a 1 3/4" Circle Punch into the front of the box and setting a piece if Thick Window Sheet behind it – it creates a sturdy, almost plexi-glass like opening!
• Be sure to use Sticky Strip to keep the box together – you don't want your hard work to fall apart when you add some weight in it!

Stenciled Gift Wrapping

As any stamper knows, the presentation of a gift is often just as important as the gift itself! So for my hat, glove, scarf gift set, I had to come up with something exciting in the way of packaging. I decided it was time to break out the stencils for this job!

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• I used Sponge Daubers to apply the inks to the box. The colors I selected for the base of the ornaments were Soft Suede, Bermuda Bay. Rich Razzleberry and Rose Red Classic Inks.
• Each motif on the ornaments was done with Platinum Shimmer Paint.
• When using Shimmer Paint for stenciling, be sure to pick up just a very small amount of paint with your dauber and dab lightly. With a medium that is runny in consistency, it can be easy to apply the paint to heavily, causing "oozing" of the paint where it doesn't belong.
• To do a metallic Shimmer Paint Base as done on the coordinating Gift Card, you need to use a Craft Ink for the motif overlay. The Classic Ink will absorb right back into the paint and you'll be left with a disappearing image!
• Masking is made easy when using jumbo post it notes!
