Hello and welcome back to my blog today I thought I would share a Christmas box ideal for gifting chocolates in fact this one has been designed to go around a 4 pack of dairy milk.
The box measures 5 1/4” x 3 1/4” by 1” high
I decided that rather than use DSP on this box I would do a bit of stamping and water colouring using my wink of Stella pen and am really happy with the gorgeous shimmer over the stamped images, making the box even more festive !
Isn’t it gorgeous I just love the read red ribbon and colour on all the ornaments
I even made the base of the box in real red !
So how to make this box I started with a piece of card measuring 7 1/4” x 5 1/4” and scored at 1” all around
I then got another piece of card that measures 6 3/4” x 4 3/4” scored at 3/4” all round
I frost constructed the larger piece into a box base then using that base I created the lid by wrapping the lid around it so that it fit snugly
I then took a piece of whisper white card measuring 4 3/4” by 2 3/4” and stamped it with one of the ornament stamps from Christmas gleaming to colour the stamped images I added 1 drop of real red re inker to a stamping block and added a few drops of wink of Stella and using my wink of Stella bulrush i water coloured with the mixture. I added this to my box with a piece of real Red ribbon tied around it in a bow using liquid glue
I then stamped another ornament from the stamp set onto a scrap piece of card and punched it out using the coordinating punch set and i then pinched a 1/8” hole in the top to allow for my gold thread to pass through and attached it to the red ribbon
I hope you have found this tutorial helpful and look forward to seeing you again soon
Love
