Project Thursday ~ Personalized Gift Box With Stamps

Hello everyone… Helen is here today. So… Christmas is in less than 30 days now! I am getting starts to wrap some gifts. How about you? Today I have couple gifts boxes to share with you that you can make and personalized them.

I found several YouTube tutorials how to make boxes using Envelope Punch Board. I tried a tutorial to make these gift boxes today. These boxes are perfect for A2 handmade card set or flat gifts. First, I trimmed the cardstocks and scored them but before I put them together, I stamped the patterns on them. I am sharing the full details at Precious Remembrance Shop Blog today.

On this first gift box, I use the Everyday Stamp SetHappy Mail Stamp SetVersaFine Clair – Green Oasis, and VersaFine Clair – Glamorous ink pad.

And for the second box, I used the Everyday Stamp Set, Joy Stamp SetVersaFine Clair – Green Oasis ink pad, and VersaFine Clair – Nocturne (black) ink pad.

I hope this post today give you some ideas how to wrap your gifts in different ways this year. Thank you so much for stopping by today. Hope you all have a fabulous day!

25 Days of Christmas Tags – A Jillian Vance Design

Hey all… Today, I am sharing a fun Christmas Shaker Tag as a Guest DT for A Jillian Vance Design for the 25 Days of Christmas Tags!

Check out this fun event at Tracey’s blog. Over her blog, you will see LOTS of gorgeous and inspiring tags from many sponsored companies, and more… there are prizes to win, too. You have many chances to enter by linking up your projects.

I created this shaker tag using the Minnie Pearl Tag Die Set. I use the Jingle Bells Die Set to embellished the tag. I added some of the Pure Gold Satin Sequin Mix and some of the white fine glitter for the shaker filler.

For the sentiment, I stamped one of the phrases from the Big Christmas Greetings Stamp Set with Rockin’ Red CP Ink Pad. And then I stamped the “To;” and “From:” from the To & From 2×2 Stamp Set with the same ink pad on the back of the tag.

Need more inspirations? Head over to A Jillian Vance Design blog to see more tags from their designers.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you all have a fabulous day!


25 Days of Christmas Tags – STAMPlorations

Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog… Today, I have couple Christmas tags to share with you!

Today, I am joining STAMPlorations design team and have created two tags to share with you all.

I use the Stitched Tags Nesting Dies – CUTplorations for the both tag bases. On the first tag above, I cut out a glitter silver cardstock with the tag nesting dies.

I use the Joyful Christmas – Typografia Christmas Stamp that I stamped on a watercolored paper with Rockin’ Red Catherine Pooler Ink Pad. After that, I sketch a Christmas Tree shape outline with pencil, and I cut it with scissors. I added some shadow around the tree with Grass Skirt Catherine Pooler Ink Pad using sponge dauber. I added the tree on the tag with dries clear I adhesive glue.

I created a watercolored paper with the Rockin’ Red Ink Pad, and then I made the mini bow using the We R Memory Keeper 3D Bow Maker. I added it on the tag with same adhesive glue.

I tied up the green/white baker’s twine on the tag.

On the second tag, I cut out the tag base with the tag nesting die out of the heavyweight white cardstock. And then, I use the Holly Background – ARTplorations Stencil and Distress Crayons (Festive Berries and Peeled Paint) to create that background. I added the crayon on the stencil and then using baby wipe to blend it in. After that, I added some splatters on it using the Distress Crayon Metallic Antique Bronze and watercolor brush. I dried it with craft heater.

I stamped the Blessed Christmas – Typografia Christmas on a heavyweight white cardstock with Memento Rhubarb Stalk In Pad and then I cut it out with the Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies.  I added it on the tag with dries-clear adhesive glue.

I added the ribbon and mini wood clip on the tag.

Hello everyone! I hope you all have a fabulous Autumn season so far… The leaves are changing their colors for sure in the area where we live. They are beautiful in their own ways…

Today I have a mixed media blessed wreath tag to share with you that I created using the  Lattice ARTplorations StencilWonderfall Time Stamp Set,  Blessed Word Die, and Stitched Tags Nesting Dies.

First I cut out the tag base our of watercolor paper. And then I created the background with Art Sprays and water using smooshing technique. I dried it with craft heater and then I the black acrylic paint with make up sponge using the Lattice Stencil.

I added the white gesso on the tag with my finger to muted the background little bit.

I stamped the leaves from the Wonderfall Time stamp set on a watertcolored paper that I created using watercolor paints. After that, I fussy cut the leaves.

I added twine wreath on the tag with adhesive glue and then I arranged those watercolored leaves on the wreath with adhesive glue.

I die cut the Blessed Word Die out of brown cardstock and then I painted it with Metallic Gold Wink of Stella Brush. I added it on the tag with adhesive glue.
