Instructions: The finished size of
this gift box is 3" X 5 1/2" (7.7 cm x 14.4 cm). Using the yellow
card stock, trace and cut out the gift box pattern. (Measurements and a sketch
will be shown in the post for this at sussipoppins.blogspot.com). Adhere
together with strong double-sided tape. Taking the Wild honey ink, ink the
edges of the box. Apply a little Walnut stain also to the edges. Finding the
world map design paper in the Young of Heart paper collection, cut from this
paper a little smaller than the box front for a matting layer. Ink the edges
with the Wild Honey ink then distress the edges with the paper distressing
tool. Adhere to the box front with both double sided tape and glue so it will
be very strong.
Taking the white card stock, stamp,
die cut the leaf branches x 3, the VW Beetle car and the sentiment sign x 1
base, x 1 sign border round and x 4 the sign centre. Die cut the border x 1.
Trim the border to fit the box front. Taking the yellow card-stock stamp and
die cut with the matching dies, the flowers. Using the Distress inks bring
colour to all the embellishments. Once the lace borders are placed on the box
front, place and adhere the string in place so you can tie a bow later to close
the box. Adhere the car in the centre of the box front, the Journey sign to the
right under side of the car wheel. Adhere the flowers in place then add the
leaf branches under the flowers. Adhere the crystal buttons to the flower
centres. To finish off the gift box add diamond stickles to the car window,
wheels and the leaf tips. Tie the string with a bow.
