They say there is beauty in simplicity and I think this gift box is a perfect example. It is modern and upscale looking, yet still provides a creative touch that is sure to be noticed. I have found this flat storage gift box especially useful when giving gifts to co-workers, relatives and friendly neighbors.
This is a project you will use many times and is easily adapted to the right occasion by having fun with the paper color and outside patterns. This template is available for purchase in my Paper Templates Webstore.
Hello bloggers,
I just wanted to pop on quickly to let you know that I am still here – I haven’t abandoned my blog. My six year old daughter is home with pneumonia so I have been playing nurse for the past week. I am working on some new designs and hope to have them uploaded by the end of the week. In the meantime, please check out the freebie section. There are some cute files there for you to download.
Remember, if you have an idea for a template, please feel free to leave a comment. I’m always looking for new ideas!
As mentioned in an earlier post, I hired British artist, Paul Gunson, to custom design a holiday rubber stamp for the users of my rubber stamping community. I have an extra stamp left over and would like to give it away to one of my blog readers. All you have to do is leave a comment in this post. Winner will be drawn at random (using random.org) and will be announced on Friday.
The stamp was manufactured by the same company who manufactures Amuse Art Stamps. The quality is excellent and the image stamps beautifully. The stamp measures 3″x3″ and is mounted on cling foam for use on acrylic blocks.
Good Luck!
WINNER UPDATE!!
Wow, only three people signed up for the blog giveaway. Does that mean the stamp is hideous?? I, personally, think it’s fabulous 
Our winner is comment #3 which was posted by BUNNY! Congratulations Bunny! Please email me with your name and address and I’ll get the stamp in the mail for you.
Thanks for playing!
Today’s freebie template is a mini squish box (or mini explosion box). This template requires absolutely no adhesive which means that it can get put together really quickly. I really, really love this box and I know you will too.
This template can be downloading from the ‘Freebies’ section.
I’ve had so many requests for these two shapes so I’ve put them together for this week’s freebie download. If you have a request, by all means, shoot me an email and I’ll see what I can do.
First up is a butterfly pattern similar to the one that appears on the cover of the Stampin’ Up! catalogue. The template contains two butterflies.
And last, but certainly not least, we have a pattern similar to the ‘Top Note’ die that is available for The Big Shot die cutting machine. This template contains two patterns (one smaller than the other) so that can be layered together.
Both templates can be dowloaded from the ‘Freebies’ section.
Enjoy!
