Gift box punch board

Happy Christmas and Feliz Navidad and Happy Holidays to everyone. I’m rather more organised than this time yesterday morning and have only one more gift to wrap. Fortunately in my family we don’t open gifts until after brunch which comes after Martin’s motorbike ride (if it’s warm enough – and it is this year) and my run. So there’s time. I was too busy making dinner last night to finish off.

I had a few pieces of paper to wrap (tickets to shows etc) and I wanted to make them less obvious and more substantial and so I got out my gift box punch board. Every time that I use this, I’m grateful to Jill who bought it for me as a Secret Pal gift last year.

I wanted to use a tag from the Oh What Fun tag kit that I made last week and went hunting for a DSP with mint macaron. I found the perfect paper in the It’s My Party DSP. I agree it’s a large box for a voucher. There may or may not be some paper towel and walnuts in there just to confuse the recipient. My sister was delighted to see that I was using the tag that she designed (in the middle) and that went perfectly with paper from Merry Moments DSP and some retired mossy meadow ribbon. The sentiment is embossed in white and is from Flurry of Wishes.

The final box is also using Merry Moments DSP but this one is upside down so that the box closure is on the bottom. This made the top cleaner and I decorated that with a bow made with the bow builder punch out of real red that was already dry embossed with stars using the Lucky Stars TIEF. Here’s a closer look at that

For details on the tags, please see my post from last week.

I really like the gift box punch board – I have three examples of different sizes, the board has instructions on it for 15 different sizes (in both cm and inches) so it’s really versatile. Really easy too.

I’d love to stick around and write more and put off my run, but I’d better get moving. I hope that your day is filled with love and fun and joy.

See you tomorrow,

Liz
