Creativity Abounds Blog Hop
This month we are creating Gift Packing projects and I am sharing a lovely Mini Exploding Gift box using the Wishes all around bundle that I have been featuring this week in my Facebook lives. You can see how I made this project HERE
I have absolutely loved playing with this Bundle and you can see some projects ideas on my recent Facebook Lives HERE.
Wishes All around Mini Exploding Gift box
We had our larger team gathering at the weekend & I was the lucky recipient of a fabulous SWAP from one of my Team members Becky Willmore of Catnip Crafting. she had made it using the Sparkling Snowflakes Bundle, which sadly I don’t own, so with her permission I set about making it with the Wishes all Around bundle.
I love trying out difference colour combo’s. Recently I watched a documentary about Marks & Spencer’s (A British Institution) and they were launching this colour drench colour combo of bright blue and neon lime for their Autumn clothing range
Its a bold combo, but I do love it. What do you think?
The base has been created with a square of Starry Sky, that perfectly fits a Ferrero Rocher inside making it a perfect little table gift or decoration if you can resist the contents! You can see the cutting and scoring instructions below.
For the inside I added some white heat embossed snowflakes and in the centre a lovely hidden sentiment.
The contrasting Lemon Lime Twist outer band has been stamped with the snowflakes again, but this time using Orchid Oasis ink.
TIP: When attaching the outer band glue the two side sections & the middle/bottom section will not sit flat. This allows the card to bend around the box when closed.
