| Many of us have a stack of handmade cards on hand, but what about a ready-to-go gift packaging stash? After all, when you add your own creative touch to a gift, your thoughtfulness means so much to the recipient . . . and personalization doesn’t have to be difficult! We’ll show you how to do it today with our Scalloped Gift Card Boxes and the Grateful Blessing Stamp Set. To customize this project, we added a little color to the box top using Garden Green ink and a Blending Brush. We then stamped the greenery, again with Garden Green ink, and “masked” the flap for a subtle touch—making it seem as if the leaves are emerging from the box crease. The rich, green ink on the box created the perfect, garden-like backdrop for the next addition to the project: the gorgeous bluebell centerpiece. Using the two-step stamping technique, we stamped the floral outline in Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Before applying the coordinating silhouette image, we inked the stamp with Azure Afternoon and added Blueberry Bushel ink to the flowers with Sponge Daubers to create depth. We then colored the leaves with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. Once finished, we die cut the image and adhered it to the box top. To complete the project, we added a lovely Basic Beige Cardstock tag stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink, some Baker’s Twine, and a smattering of Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems. So cute! | |
