Hi there, Today a tutorial on how to make this gift box.

Its a Karen Burnstein die.

This box is made for the,

Lost Coast designs/Carmens Veranda stamps challenge blog.

What I used for this box.

LCD tulip gnome the big one.

LCD pieces of calligraphy

LCD longswirl

CV Tulip

Distress oxide:

Wilted Violet

Peacock feathers

Twisted citron

Spiced marmelade

Strip acetate.

A small piece of ribbbon.

A bead or button.

Color pencils or markers.

White gelpen.

Black ink I used versafine.

Color the box with the four colors of distress oxide. 

Don't forget to do the inside of the drawer too.

Inside of the drawer.

Make a hole in the front of the drawer.

Pull the ribbon through the button or bead and through the hole.

Glue the ribbon and assemble the drawer.

Now you have a pull knob on the front of the drawer.

Stamp the Gnome and the tulip with the Versafine.

Color the gnome and tulip as you like.

Give the gnome and the tulip some accents with a white gellpen.

Take the strip of acetate, 1cm wide and 7cm long. 

Make a fold in the acetate strip at 2cm.

Glue the long piece on the back of the gnome.

And the short piece in the drawer. 

If you now pull the drawer open, the gnome jumps up and offers you a tulip.

To finish the box, take the smallest stamp from the Pieces of calligraphy and the Versafine.

Stamp lightly here and there, it doesn't have to be a perfect print.

With the Long swirl stamp and the oxides I made some small prints.

I did this with Orange on orange and green on green etc.

Let your ink dry.

Now, isn't this a nice gift box?

You can put candy or chocolates in it.

Or a gift card.

Make sure you put it under the gnome.

Altered Baby shoe box.

For a good friend I made this box. I used panpastels and markers.
The winged girl stamp is from Lost coast designs.

And the flowers are from Altenew.

I have entered this box in the Country view challenge, anything but a card.

My first post as designer for Lost Coast Designs.

I made a small gift box on a Score-pal. The box is 8x8cm en 2cm high.The name of the stamp is Praying angel. I just love this stamp, look at the expression on her face.

I first put a sheet of paper through some puddles of distress ink, Shabby shutters, Scattered straw and Pine needless. Once the sheet is dry,you can cut and creased the paper. Then you lay it flat and stamp the angel with Jet black stazon.

Then I colored in some accents with pencils with de same colors, no matter which brand.

And than the last thing is some accents with a white gell pen. I really love my white gell pen.

Tip: when you glue the box, start with the bottem. Then you can be sure that the lid closes properly.

Come on over and join the challenge, its fun and you can win some lovely stamps.

Voor mijn dochter Kim heb ik een doosje gemaakt waar een Glade geurbakje in verstopt kan worden.
In de achterzijde zitten gaten zodat het luchtje makkelijk uit het doosje kan komen.
Stempels die ik heb gebruikt zijn: Indigoblu, Stampendous vogelkooi, Joy crafts vogeltjes, het medaillonnetje op de achtergrond is van Marianne design, van Lost coast design zijn de woordenboek teksten, vogelkooi van the artistic stamper.

I made this box for my daugther, you can hide a glade airfreshner in it.
In the back there are holes so the send can escape from the box.
Stamps I used: Indigoblu, Stampendous birdcage, Joy crafts birds, the madaillion on the background is from Marianne design, the second birdcageis from the artistic stamper, the dictionary words are from Lost Coast Designs.
