Silver and Gold. Isn't that what the song the snowman sings in the animated show Rudolph? I made a Christmas box in those colors: silver and gold {smile}.
I'm a paper hoarder collector. I love paper. I love paper crafts. I love creating beautiful things with paper. My name is Sharon.
They say the first step to healing/recovery, is admitting that you have a problem. Paper, is my problem.
I purchase this beautiful silver and gold holiday pattern paper by Anna Griffin about 5/+ years ago. Saving it, for the perfect paper craft. And today, I made that perfect paper craft. . . a decorated gift box! I am selling these at my craft fair shows, again this year.
I stamped and heat embossed the kraft boxes, with a variety of images: polka dots, doilies, text, and vintage wall paper. (Just a lovely little addition.) I wrapped each box with a different mix of pattern papers. I added a 'bow' and a 'tag' (space to write the recipients name). Complete!
So, all you have to do, is slide off the pattern paper (belly band), fold the pattern paper flat, and write a name/message, place the gift inside the box, and then slide the pattern paper back on. Viola! This present is wrapped!
I'll be selling this gift box, as well as others that I have made, at this Saturday's Arts and Craft Fair @ Cleveland Middle School, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Hope to see you there!
