It is time again for our Artisan Wednesday WOW Blog Hop. It is such a joy to work with these talented ladies. I look forward to seeing the amazing projects they create each and every week. If you are following the hop, then you should have just arrived here from Cindy Schuster's blog. Today's project is another treat box similar to the one I made here.
I was asked by a close friend to make some favors for her daughter's wedding. She is very fashion forward so I wanted to make something that was femine, yet trendy. I created the box with some Pool Party Chevron DSP from the Subtles Collection (#130135). They are the perfect size for some jewelry, a gift card, or some of those Ghirardelli chocolate squares. These would make adorable baby shower favors too. Actually, I think these would be perfect for any occassion where you wanted to do something a little extra special.
Here is a closer look at the tag. I stamped the "thank you" from Starburst Sayings (#133185) with VersaMark ink on Whisper White cardstock and then heat embossed it with Pool Party embossing powder (#129398). Then I die cut it with the coordinating Starburst Framelits Die (#132967) and mounted it on some silver glimmer paper that I punched with the 1-1/4" Scallop Circle punch. I also stamped and embossed the banner from Perfect Pennants (#133230). Here's a little tip...the banner wasn't quite the right length, so I cut it into two pieces, adjusted the lenght, and then covered it with the tag.
I cut an additional banner from So Saffron cardstock and attached the banner pieces to the box. I saved the twine and the tag until the very last thing. After the boxes are filled and ready to go, then you can wrap some baker's twine around several times and add the tag to the box with dimensionals. This was my prototype, so when I make these in bulk I think I will use some of the adorable silver & white baker's twine (#132976) from the Spring Mini Catalog...after all...a girl can never have too much bling!
That's all for today, but don't forget to check back often because over the next several weeks we are also sharing the projects that we created for the Stampin' Up! Leadership Convention which was held a few weeks ago. But for now, be sure to head on over to see what fun projects Erica Cerwin and the rest of the Artisan Design Team have in store for you! Don't miss a single project...
