Gift Set

Make a useful little gift for a friend, teacher or for yourself! 

We made this gift set at my August Stamp Camp & I demonstrated it at The Topics! Retreat this weekend.







Here are the measurements & instructions for each project. Email me if you have any questions...

Box liner
  • Cut a piece of Designer Series Paper 11 1/4 x 3 1/4 and insert it in a Half Wood Mount Case (item 127550 - $4.95 for 4 boxes)
Sanitizer Cover
  • Cut coordinating piece of cardstock 1 1/2 x 6 3/4
  • Score parallel to the short side at 1/2", 2 3/4", 3 3/4" and 6".
  • Use a 3/4" circle punched out of scraps to center in the 1" center and mark with a pencil.
  • Punch the circle to make opening for sanitizer.
  • For panels: cut cardstock or DSP 2" x 1 1/4"
  • Decorate the cover as you like, slide the top of the sanitizer bottle through the punch hole.
  • Use a piece of sticky strip on the 1/2" end and adhere to 3/4" end. 
  • Punch a 1/2" circle out of DSP (or glimmer paper) and place it on the bottle cap with a glue dot.
Post It Note Cover
  • Cut Cardstock 6 3/4" x 3 1/4"
  • Score parallel to the short side at 3 1/8" and 3 5/8"
  • Cut 2 pieces of coordinating ribbon about 9"
  • Be sure to use sticky strip on both side of the ribbon to make sure it holds as you will be pulling on it each time you tie and untie the bow
  • For the outside & inside panels, cut cardstock 3" squares & DSP 2 3/4" squares
Mini Chocolate Cozy
  • Cut a 4 1/2 square out of DSP
  • Using the diagonal plate, score it at 0" and then at 3/4" on each side of the 0" score line.
  • Slide the piece of DSP a quarter turn and score it at 1 1/2" on that side and the opposite side.
  • Fold the 2 points formed by the last scores toward each other.
  • Fold the piece in half towards you and fold the 2 ends back.
  • Punch a 1/4" hole at the tip and insert a piece of ribbon, tie with a piece of baker's twine.

Here's how to arrange the 3 items in the box




At the Stamp Camp, we also made a tag with the Chalk Talk Stamp Set & Framelits

Tips!

  • For background, stamp the largest flower stamp several times, all over the cardstock with Calypso Coral ink for the look on my card. For a lighter, watermark background, use a Versamark ink pad.
  • Tear the DSP and use a dauber to soften the edges with Crisp Cantaloupe ink
