Birthday Style - gift box with stencilling

Good things come in small packages. This little gift box was made from a Spellbinders die embellished with Kraftin' Kimmie ink, stencil, and stamp along with Nuvo Dream drops.

Putting It Together

I love the Plus-size dies that make boxes. 

The die cuts the box shape and adds scorelines.

I used a blender tool with Pink Pizzazz to colour the sides. The pink of this ink is intense.

I used a Kraftin' Kimmie stencil with Nuvo Fairy Wings Dream drops on a silicon brush. I masked off the top tabs to keep them smooth.

The iridescent shimmer from the drops is hard to capture in the pictures but amazing in person.  I moved the stencil around to cover all 4 sides and then scrubbed it in the sink of the bathroom next to my craft space.

I stamped the sentiment with Pink Pizzazz and used a die to trim it into a tag.

I smeared the Dream Drops on the tag to add shimmer.

Once the stencilling was dry, I trained the sides to curve.

I used a palette knife to re-open the slots.

 Holding the top tabs together.

Sliding the slots over the tabs.

This is a very simple box with no glue. After putting it together, I realised I couldn't get a good angle for the hole punch so disassembled to punch the hole.

I put it back together and added a ribbon with the sentiment.
