Stacey's Creative Corner: Great Catch!

Hi everyone and happy Wednesday!

Today is my day to post over at the Jaded Blossom blog

and I have a fun little treat box to share with you.

My hubby is a huge football fan so I thought it would be a fun surprise to make him a box to give to him on a game day. Complete with a Gnome in his favorite team colors and filled with some football themed candy for a little snack.

I created my box by using the Gable Box Die and cutting it out from some Kraft cardstock. I trimmed off one of the handle pieces so that my box would remain open. I made my little football player by using the Gnome Dies & the Gnome Dies: Sport Add Ons 1. I inked around the edges of my white stitched panel, added my football player and glued it to the front of my box.

I stamped my sentiment from the the Root For The Gnome Team with some Versafine Onyx Black Ink and used the Label Shape Dies 1 to cut it out. I cut out the label again, going around the perimeter with a green Copic, and added it to my sentiment label for a little shadow layer. I added it to my box, covering the hole that acts as the handle. I cut a bow using the Bow Dies and some yellow patterned paper and added that to the top of my box, finishing it off with a football from the Gnome Dies: Sports Add Ons 1 for the center of the bow.
