I have been having so much fun designing with the Stampendous Curio Stamps and am sharing another easy to make gift box I created. I showed this box and several other projects with these fun Stampendous stamps which are a combination of a gift or curio and a high quality rubber stamp in my newest video. I received two of each so I could create with and display mine, and share the other with some crafty friends- maybe you? Watch the video here to find out how you could win two of the Curio stamps, a Stampendous background stamp and the card I shared yesterday here on my blog.
The box was made with two patterned cardstock pieces. The top was cut 7 1/4" square and scored at 1 3/4" on all sides. One of the scored lines on each side is cut up to the other scored lines (to see that in a video, watch here and if you want to skip right to the gift box info, go to minute 18:15 on the video.) The bottom was cut 7 1/2" square and scored at the 2 inch line on all sides, then cut up to the scored lines one on each side. In the video, I show how to cut those and put the box together- it is really easy to create a box any size you want using this method and the sides fold and attach very easily. I stamped the Tweet One Curio Stamp and colored her with a Ranger Blending Tool and inks. I cut her out and stood her up on the top of the box with a little folded piece of cardstock. The Happy Birthday and the stitched rectangle die are from the Stampendous Cling Fresh Peony set of stamps and matching dies. I am loving all the stamps and dies from Stampendous I am sharing this week on my blog and in my newest video here and hope you check them out on their website soon.
Oh how sweet is that bird! And the fact that the stamp can be displayed and given as a gift as you did makes this so special - going onto my wishlist!! Thank you, Karen, for sharing this with us at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge!
