A Hostess Bliss Box
I got the tutorial for this box from the Inkspiration 4U Spring Summer Collection. It is called a Bliss Box. I made this one for my Hostess tonight (Hi Sharron).
I made my box from Concord Crush and Whisper White card. The Whisper White card has been embossed using the Petals-A-Plenty Embossing Folder. The recessed section in the lid has been decorated with some Concord Crush Flowers which were cut using the Floral Fusion sizzlit. I have described in previous posts how I make these flowers, so I won’t go into the details here. I cut some leaves from Pear Pizzazz card using the Little Leaves Sizzlet, add some ome Clear Rhinestone Brads and the box is decorated.
The box opens like a Pizza Box and here you can see that the tutorial even gives instructions to cover the recessed section in the top of the box – so neat. You can see the cards nestled inside the box.
I made 6 cards 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ to go inside the box. I cut leaves from Pear Pizzazz card using the Little Leaves sizzlit. I attached the leaves and the largest flower cut from Concord Crush using the Floral Fusion Sizzlit to a Whisper White Square 3 1/4′ x 3 1/4″, then I embossed the square using the Square Lattice Embossing Folder. I stamped the greetings from the Sincere Salutations stampset using Concord Crush ink onto Whisper White card and punched them out using the Scallop Oval punch. I layered the greetings onto a Concord Crush Scallop Oval cut using the Movers & Shapers Punch Windows. I attached the 3d flowers to the card using Mini Glue Dots.
I love making something special for my Hostesses, so if you would love a gift like this one, contact me and we can work out when you can hold your workshop.
Bye for now, Kris.
Kris I love the Concord Crush and you have made a beautiful shadow box using this colour. The box and the contents are beautiful!
