Poinsettia Gift Box

Hi crafters! I hope you are well and had a good weekend! We had both snow and rain this weekend.

This week we have a It's a Wrap theme at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. I hope you will join us! Don't miss the gorgeous project by our December guest designer Anita Rao.

I recycled a jewelry box and turned it into a poinsettia Christmas gift box, with the use of the Simon Says Stamp Tall Poinsettia die and Pine Needle Cluster die. I also decorated the inside of the lid, which is a good place for a personal sentiment. You can of course also use the design on a card.

Start by smearing Distress Ink on a non-stick craft sheet and mist with water. Press heavystock paper into the ink. Let dry and repeat.

I die cut the Simon Says Stamp Tall Poinsettia four times from each of the two inky papers.

   

Shape the flowers with Tim Holtz Shaping Tools.

Die cut the Simon Says Stamp Pine Needle Cluster from gold kraft-stock and Simon Says Stamp white glitter paper. I ended up not using the blue glitter die cuts.

Glue the poinsettias together and add a Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Dazzling Gem to the centers.

Cut a piece from the pink inky paper for the inside of the lid. Stamp the Simon Says Stamp Poinsettia Swag in one corner and a sentiment in the other.

Color the flower with pencils. I used Prismacolors.

Add a dots with a white gel pen.

Glue the pine needles and the flowers to the lid of the box.

I used four large flowers and two small flowers for each poinsettia.

I added gems to the inside cover too.

One of my favorite sentiments during Christmas.

You can also cover the box with paper, but since the box I used was already pretty, I left it as it was.
