Pretty Gift Box

Hello Everyone

At Stampin' Up! convention my lovely upline Amanda achieved a whole heap of top awards, but the one she was really proud of was the Heart of Stampin' Up! award. The Heart of Stampin’ Up! award recognises demonstrators from the EU who truly exemplify Stampin’ Up!’s Statement of the Heart as they make a difference in people’s lives. The award winner is chosen by Stampin' Up! CEO Shelli based on nominations sent in prior to convention.


We were all proud of her, so after convention we sent her flowers and chocolates and then secretly bought a special Pandora bead for her braclet which we presented to her at our quarterly team training.

I made a box for the bead a while ago and now that Amanda has recieved it, I can share the pictures with you.

I used so many stamps for this project, I am not sure I can list them all. I see I used Greenhouse Garden in Soft Suede and Crumb Cake on the box. The top layer is done with Fresh Cuts and Just Believe in Baja Breeze and Marina Mist. The butterfly is a single stamp called All A Flutter and I stamped it in Stazon and coloured in using markers. Don't the little pearls looks sweet?

I also made a little holder for the bead, which we didn't use in the end, (the bead came in sweet Pandora packaging), but I thought I would show you what I made here:


I stamped the tissue paper and created a closure with the butterfly stamped on Window Sheet and a diamonte brad to hold it closed.

Because I never know when to stop, I also stamped the inside of the box...


The interior is stamped with the Ornate Bloom stamp, using the rock n roll technique to add a variation in colour. I also had fun creating the belly band closure, with lots of stamping and daubing and finishing with the Marina Mist 1/4" taffetta ribbon.

I hope you like it as much as Amanda did!

    I saw this at Amanda's house and it is really beautiful. I would never have thought of using those colours with green house garden but it is simply lovely
