Girlie Gift Box

I recently created this fun little gift box for a little girl with my darling little fairy stamp from Lizzie Anne Designs. I thought it would be great for wrapping up a little gift and then she could use the box for little treasures afterwards. Combined with scallops, glitter, bling and lots of pink, it was so much fun to make!

This little box was one that I picked up at Michael’s a few weeks ago. It is about 5″ square and 2″ deep and had a flower on the top. To cover the top of the box, I started out by gluing a square piece of Daisy D’s patterned paper on the top and sanding the edges. I then cut a couple strips of the same paper across the stripe and scalloped the edges using my large corner rounder by EK Success. After covering the sides, I covered the seams with some gorgeous May Arts Velvet ribbon. For the fairy image, I stamped it onto some Whisper White cardstock, watercolored her with my aquapainter and then punched her out with my scalloped circle punch.

To give my fairy a little “magic”, I used a two-way glue pen to add glitter to her wings, and added a tiny A Muse twinkle sticker to dot the “i” on the wish. I’m hoping she’ll like this box! It was so fun to get girlie again and make it! 🙂
