Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! It is post Christmas and lots to celebrate – family, friends, laughter, sharing – and the list goes on… I took a few days to be with our family and enjoyed every moment. Thank you for your patience :O)

I’m already on to another phase of appreciation and thankfulness and am in the process of creating boxes. This is my first and I made some errors… which I will adjust in my directions so you don’t make the same mistakes :O) nor do I when making more.

This is a cute sized box, in other words, not too large. It holds these delicious little Noble candies – hope I can find more of these! Back to the box…

The box is cut 5 x 3 1/2 from Boho Blue card stock and scored at 7/8 on all sides. Cut up to score line on each long side & cut a wedge from each tab as shown in photo below. Add Tear n’ Tape as shown as well. Form box & adhere tabs inside. This creates a neat finish to the outside of the box.

Using the largest of the Deckled Rectangle Dies, cut another piece of Boho Blue and score on the long side @ 2 1/8 & 3. I cut my Boho Blue at 4 x 5 3/8 which is a snug fit for the largest die, but works! I also cut (2) pieces of Flirty Flamingo 1 7/8 x 3 1/4; & one piece of Basic White with the third smallest Deckled Rectangle Dies. I stamped the Basic White panel with Blueberry Bushel ink for the sentiment; Garden Green ink stamped off once for the stems and Flirty Flamingo ink stamped off once for the flowers; all of these come from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set which is part of the Sale-a-bration bonus items with a $100 purchase (stamp set & embossing folder) found on pages 14/15 in the Sale-a-bration catalog. (The catalog goes live Jan 4, 2024!!! Sale-a-bration items are available Jan 4- Feb 29, 2024.

The ‘cover” for the box is that piece of Boho Blue die cut with the largest of the Deckled Rectangle Dies. Add a 16″ piece of ribbon with glue dots down the center… I used Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack in Bubble Bath as shown in photo below.

Adhere box to the bottom portion with liquid glue, then attach sentiment panel to the upper portion. For the top of the box, I die cut a piece from the Flight & Airy 12×12 DSP – also a FREE ITEM during Sale-a-bration with a $50 purchase. That paper may be found on pages 6/7 of the Sale-a-bration catalog. I adhered that to a slightly larger piece of Flirty Flamingo & attached both to the top of the box & done! Fill with favorite wrapped candies & gift. I’ll be making quite a few of these for an event in February – so stay tuned to see the full batch.

Ok – now it’s on with today’s Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.
