I have been on a roll making stationary and decorative boxes. It’s
so much fun, and you’ll love doing it, too. See how to make a faux
suede box HERE, and a fun baroque box HERE.
My aunt owns a horse farm that she calls “Magnolia Farm.” During these lazy and HOT days of summer, I
decided to work on her Christmas gift. Hopefully, when Christmas
finally arrives, I won’t forget about it! You should do the same thing,
too! What better way to spend the summer? It’s way too hot down here
in south Florida to do anything outside. Not only do these fun
stationary boxes make great gifts, but they also make a great project to
work on with your kids. You could even host a girls’-night-out! Just
provide a list of supplies for your friends to bring. You’re sure to
have a fab time.
I haven’t made the box yet, but in the meantime, here is a look at the cards, gift tags, and personalized stamp.
P.S. I used Stampin’ Up’s “Well Worn Designer Series Paper” to add
some texture to the card. I also used a technique called “direct ink to
paper” to create a worn look. All you have to do is apply the ink
directly to the edges of the cardstock, and then randomly wipe some of
the ink directly from the ink pad onto the paper in random places. This
is one of my favorite techniques.
