Ornament and Gift Box

I stumbled across this (rare) scene last night -- my littlest two reading books in my daughter's bed. I had to grab the camera before the moment was gone...

Shortly after I took this picture, Lauren's feet got a bit too close to Ben and the silence was broken! It was nice while it lasted...

********************

Today I want to share this ornament and box I created using Stampin' Up! I Wish Scrappin' Pack. I LOVED this paper (kit) as soon as I saw it and (of course!) it was back ordered for a bit. The awesome paper and stickers in this pack made putting this little gift together a breeze!


Here is a picture of the box itself:

I created a super simple template for this box (I can post directions if you are interested---very easy!). I decorated it with stickers from the Scrappin' kit so it took NO TIME!

Here is a better view of the ornament:

This is one of those unfinished paper machie ornaments you can find for .99 cents at Hobby Lobby. I simply cut triangle pieces of the designer paper and adhered them onto the star using Modge Podge. After I glued the sections on, I sanded the edges a bit and then applied another layer of Modge Podge over the whole ornament.


Materials used: I Wish Simply Scrappin' Kit (Stampin' Up!); brads (Stampin' Up!); dimensionals (Stampin' Up!); paper machie star ornament (Hobby Lobby); sanding block (Stampin' Up!); Modge Podge; ribbon (Stampin' Up!).
Thanks for stopping by!
