Hey Crafters! Katelyn here, sharing with you my For A Special Someone Gift Box.

To create my gift box, I’ve used dies from the Paper Flower Collection as well as stamps and dies from Joset Designs. You’ll want to read below as I share with you how to recreate my gift box at home.

Step One. Choose a piece of tropical themed patterned paper. Die cut the Pizza Box die from the Pizza Box Die set out of the patterned paper. Ink the edges of the box using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Step Two. From the Pizza Box die, die cut the scallop square out of a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Ink the edges of the square using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Step Three. Choose a second piece of coordinating patterned paper. Die cut the stitched square from the Pizza Box Die out of the patterned paper. Ink the edges of the square using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Step Four. Choose a third and fourth piece of coordinating patterned paper. Make sure one of them is green. Die cut the stitched circle from the Pizza Box Die out of the green patterned paper. Die cut the smallest circle from the Pizza Box Die out the fourth patterned paper. Ink the edges of both circles using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Step Five. Die cut the Elegant Ornament out of a piece of kraft cardstock.

Step Six. Die cut a 3/4″ Diagonal Stitched Fishtail out of a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Cut the fishtail down to 3 1/4″. From the Build Your Own Sentiments 1 Stamp Set, you’ll need the For a Special and Someone words. Apply Detail Black Ink to both stamps and stamp onto the right hand side of the fishtail. Ink the edges of the fishtail using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Step Seven. Choose one of the leaves from the Leaves & Branches die. Die cut the leaf three times out of the green patterned paper.

Step Eight. From the Florals 4 die, die cut the centres once out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Die cut one of the buds from the same die twice out of White Soft Finish Cardstock.

Step Nine. From the Florals 4 die, die cut the large flower out once, the medium flower out three times and the small flower out three times out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Broken China Distress Ink over the entire surface of the flowers.

Step Ten. Assemble the pizza box.

Step Eleven. Foam square the scalloped square to the top of the box. Adhere the stitched square to the scallop square. Trim the elegant ornament down as desired. Adhere the elegant ornament to the stitched circle. Adhere the stitched circle 3/4″ from the right and 1/2″ from the bottom of the stitched square.

Step Twelve. Adhere the small circle to the middle of the elegant ornament. Adhere the fishtail 1″ from the left and 1″ from the bottom of the stitched square.

Step Thirteen. Shape the flowers. Adhere the flowers together. Make sure each flower has a centre adhered to the middle of the flowers.

Step Fourteen. Shape the leaves. In the top left side of the ornament, adhere a leaf and bud. Adhere a leaf in the middle left side of the ornament. Adhere the remaining leaf and bud to the bottom left side of the ornament.

Step Fifteen. Foam square the largest flower so that it sits slightly on the fishtail. Adhere the remaining two flowers as desired around the large flower.
