Taylor is hosting a Blog hop today. We all decorated one of her Perfect Package Card Boxes. I love how sturdy those boxes are and that they are collapsible.

I am a bit stuck on the Laundry Line paper from My Mind’s Eye lately. It’s so pretty and it sparkles!!! A 4 1/2″ x 6 1/8″ piece of Tenny Wishes paperwas stitched to a 1/4″ bigger piece of sponged Chocolate chip cardstock. The 1 3/4″ x 6 1/8″ piece of Proud print paper was stitched to a slightly wider piece of Very Vanilla cardstock that had been punched with a Martha Stewart Border punch. Ivory Satin ribbon from May Arts was tied around the strip before it was taped to the card box front.
The image is from Taylor’s Christmas Blessings. It was stamped in Espresso Adirondack ink on Vanilla cardstock twice. I cut the inner image out of one of the images, sponged it with Scattered Straw and Vintage Photo Distress ink and brushed it with Clear Rock Candy Distress Paint.
I colored the frame of the other image with Copic Marker G82 and covered it with Crystal Effect. It was layered on a Chocolate Chip scalloped rectangle cut and embossed with Nestabilities. The sentiment is also from Christmas blessings. It was stamped in Espresso ink, cut out with a 1 3/8″ circle punch, sponged with Scattered Straw and Vintage photo and layered on a sponged Chocolate Chip scallop circle. To finish up the front, I inked up a Maya Road scroll with Espresso ink and added Clear Kaiser Rhinestones as well as Tiny Twinkles.
The back of the lid was layered matching the outside. On the inside of the box I created a spot for three Rocher chocolates, as well as a gift card holder. A matching card will be placed of the gift card.
The Chocolate Chip card base measures 4″ x 8 1/2″ and was folded in half. The rest of the card is pretty much the same as the box front. It looks a lot better IRL, but it was hard to photograph with all the Crystal Effect and Crackle Paint.

Beate!! This is breath-taking! The nativity image is so beautifully done. Love the box!
I just LOVE how you really made the nativity the focal point with the distress ink & the clear rock candy distress paint. I’m sure it looks more awesome in person. That image is a must have in any stampers’ collection!
[…] Creating for this hop caused to me to go back and look at some of my previous creations and I wanted to share one of those with you today too. You can find it here. […]
