Is it possible to be addicted to googlie eyes? If yes, I AM!!!! They just give this adorable owl so much more personality!
We made this box at my recent Big Shot Bonanza class.
The box is made with the Bitty Box and Envelope Bigz XL die and my Big Shot. Wanna know my favorite part of this box? You put it together without using any adhesive.
A piece of the yummy striped patterned paper from the Ice Cream Parlor dsp pack (which you can earn for FREE as a Sale-a-bration choice) adorns the top of the box). All of the colors in this project were pulled from the stripes of this patterned paper.
Now, let's talk about the tag because that's my favorite part. A tag essentially starts out with a scrap of cardstock. When you use your punches on the corners, you magically (let me dream here) transform it into a tag. My tag was made with some Daffodil Delight cardstock. To make it even prettier, I added a Daffodil Delight layer punched with the Decorative Label punch. I popped it up on dimensionals. I think the same color layered on each other looks so striking!
Decorating my tag was a blast. I wanted to play with the owl from Punch Bunch (one of the fabulous Sale-a-bration stamp sets). I inked him up with Chocolate Chip ink and stamped him onto Whisper White cardstock. I punched him out using the Two Step Owl punch and colored his belly with my Marina Mist marker. Using my Tombow Liquid Glue, I added those adorable googlie eyes!
To finish my box I wrapped it with some Pumpkin Pie 5/8" grosgrain ribbon. My tag is attached to the bow using some Linen Thread (I placed an eyelet in my tag). A Pacific Point button (from the Sale-a-bration Ice Cream Parlor button and ribbon pack) is threaded on the Linen Thread and finishes off my box perfectly!
Do you care to guess what's in the box? My friend Robin can guess because it's her favorite treat! It's a Ghiradelli chocolate square!!! YUMMY!
I guess I should've called this box my Sale-a-bration box because I've used three different Sale-a-bration freebies on this project: the Punch Bunch stamp set, the Ice Cream Parlor Ribbon and Button pack and the Ice Cream Parlor dsp and Quick Accents pack.
