Happy 4th of July or MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Hey Bloggers!!

It's Noelle posting today!

A HUGE Happy Birthday to our beautiful country and a GIANT thank you to all who make that possible!

We are celebrating Christmas in July all month long!  I never thought these words would leave my mouth but I wish it was December and snowing like crazy!  I am posting from Denver and it is hot and our beautiful state is on fire!  We are praying for all those that have been or are in these fires paths!

I love the Gable Box - Tall it is a great size and perfect for a gift! 

It is super easy to decorate I embossed some Unity Kit of the Month stamps from June 2009.  I ran my bone folder over the score lines and used some Killer White Tear-able Tacky Tape - 1/4" to hold it together. 

Quick and easy!

Happy BBQing Peeps!

Thanks for stopping by today.

Beachy Box

Good Morning! Danielle here, with this great box that can be used for many occasions. Today I decorated it in a sea-theme because we put seashells inside as a gift to someone. The gable box was really easy to put together.

Happy Monday!

I hope you had a great weekend and were able to fit in a little crafting time!

I went to a birthday party on Saturday for my friend who was turning 50.  

I got her a gift card so I needed a fun little way to wrap it and came up with this box.

I started with a die cut Gable Box-Tall from Creative Cuts & More and decorated it with this dragon and sentiment from High Hopes Stamps.  I put it all together with Killer Red Tacky Tape.

I think she liked the gift box better than the gift card!

Birthday Bear Gift Set

Hi all!!!

I'm a little late with my post today as I just returned from a four day trip with my son to go visit a college he is interested in. We had a great trip!

He's too old for cute little birthday sets like the one I am sharing with you today but I am hoping it will inspire you the next time you have a birthday gift for a little guy!

I made the gift box out of the Tall Gable Box cut out of Walnut Brown Bazzill Canvas cardtock.

The card is a circle window A2 card. The card base was cut from Walnut Brown Bazzill Canvas cardstock and the mat was cut from Neenah Cream Smooth cardstock.

Here's a close up view of the card.

The stamps are by High Hopes Stamps and you can get more details on my blog!

I hope you enjoyed my little boy gift set today!

Have a great rest of the week!

Distressed Santa box

Are you ready for Christmas yet? Here's an idea for a vintage Santa box for packaging up your gifts with. I used the Gable Box - Tall in a dark chocolate color and assembled it with the great Killer Red Tacky Tape.

I found this Santa stamp that I've had for years hiding in my studio. It was the perfect size for this box, so I inked it up with a dark brown ink, and then colored in just the face with a copic marker. The edges were sponged with more of the same dark brown ink, and then I used a distressing tool to rough up the edges of both the image and the white cardstock layer behind it.

This box needed just a little something more with a touch of color, so I used some holly leaves and some red dew drops in the corner on Santa's hat. This box will be a lovely way to present a gift to someone for Christmas this year. :-)
