nupur creatives: Calendar in a gift box

Friday, 18 January 2013

Hello..

Today I am going to share a very special project with you all...

Its a gift I made for my sister's birthday..

I made 1 calendar with gift box & 1 cardini with gift box...

I will share the cardini in my next post...

I forgot to measure the size of the finished items as I was in a hurry to pack it & dispatch it...

I made a Purple, pink & green box for the calendar...

I used a Sizzix embossing folder with ink applied on the debossed side for faux letterpress effect.

The pink matte was also inked up to get a rich & bright pink colour...

The sentiment is a freebie...It was printed & then diecut with spellbinders labels 4...

the pink matte behind the sentiment was also diecut & sponged with memento rose bud ink..

The paper lace was punched with MS Doily punch & the I adhered the dark green satin ribbon on top with Red Double Sided Tape..

The base of the box is green...

I added 1 strip of satin ribbon around the lid & the base of the gift box to give it some added strength & beauty...

I wrapped the calendar in 2 matching paper napkins to prevent any damage during transit & it also serves the decorative purpose...

Now you can tell the reason behind the colour combination of the box... :)

Purple is one of her fav colours so I made the calendar in this combination...

The base of the calendar is done as the box lid...

The flowers & leaves were punched, sponged, embossed & then assembled...

Here is the closeup of the flower arrangement...

She loved the calendar & the box... :)

Stay tuned for the Cardini....
