Gnome-vember challenge at Lost Coast Designs/Carmens Veranda stamps. Gift Candy/chocolat box or giftcard box.

Hi there, Today a tutorial on how to make this gift box.

Its a Karen Burnstein die.

But if you have a score board you kan make a matchbox.

This box is made for the,

Lost Coast designs/Carmens Veranda stamps challenge blog.

What I used for this box.

LCD tulip gnome the big one.

LCD pieces of calligraphy

LCD longswirl

CV Tulip

Distress oxide:

Wilted Violet

Peacock feathers

Twisted citron

Spiced marmelade

Strip acetate.

A small piece of ribbbon.

A bead or button.

Color pencils or markers.

White gelpen.

Black ink I used versafine.

Color the box with the four colors of distress oxide. 

Don't forget to do the inside of the drawer too.

Inside of the drawer.

Make a hole in the front of the drawer.

Pull the ribbon through the button or bead and through the hole.

Glue the ribbon and assemble the drawer.

Now you have a pull knob on the front of the drawer.

Stamp the Gnome and the tulip with the Versafine.

Color the gnome and tulip as you like.

Give the gnome and the tulip some accents with a white gellpen.

Take the strip of acetate, 1cm wide and 7cm long. 

Make a fold in the acetate strip at 2cm.

Glue the long piece on the back of the gnome.

And the short piece in the drawer. 

If you now pull the drawer open, the gnome jumps up and offers you a tulip.

To finish the box, take the smallest stamp from the Pieces of calligraphy and the Versafine.

Stamp lightly here and there, it doesn't have to be a perfect print.

With the Long swirl stamp and the oxides I made some small prints.

I did this with Orange on orange and green on green etc.

Let your ink dry.

Now, isn't this a nice gift box?

You can put candy or chocolates in it.

Or a gift card.

Make sure you put it under the gnome.

Are you also making something with a gnome?

Then join the challenge and maybe you will win those new stamps.

You can join with other brands, as long as there is stamping on your art.

So hope to see you on the challenge.

Gnome-vember challenge at lost coast designs

 Hello crafters,

At the lost Coast Designs/Carmens Veranda blog there is a gnome challenge.

Always so nice those little funny creatures.

For this card I used The Santa with toys (large)

And the merry Christmas from the Party words sheet.

It is an easy card.

Nice for the beginning card makers.

I took a smooth white double card.

Stamped the santa gnome with black waterproof ink.

Colored it with pencils.

With a stencil and gray ink sponged the stars on the white surface.

Die cut the presents, and glue them on the card.

Stamp the text in black.

Add some glitter to the gray stars.

And that's it, a quick Christmas card with a nice effect.

The design team would love it if you would join the challenge.

There are stamps of your choice to win.

So come to the blog and join in, the challenge runs until the end of the month.

GO TO THE CHALLENGE.
