My Ink Friends: Handmade Holidays Blog Hop 2019: Gold Box

I absolutely love to give handmade items for any occassion but especially the holidays! Oh and also something that is useful to them too...below I have one of those examples.  ENJOY!

The Gold Pizza boxes in the holiday catalog are the perfect tool for something quick and easy.  I added just a few elements to it and it really speaks for itself.

I used the very versatile stamp set with punch bundle: Perfectly Plaid.  This stamp set had several trees to choose from and then the perfect coordinating punch.  To accompany this amazing set, I used another punch fo the saying (Story Label punch), gold embelisshments (Sprig punch), and the background piece is a really awesome die (Frosted Frames Dies).

The pizza boxes are food safe...I don't really do much baking during the holidays but I added a couple little 3x3 cards.

Both the box and the cards also feature our Wrapped in Plaid 6x6 specialty designer series paper.  I think this adds just the right amount of design without overpowering the rest of the project.

You can see here how well they compliment each other.  Let me know if you have any questions!  Have a great day and don't forget to visit the other bloggers :)

My Frightful Wreath

Here's my version of the Frightful Wreath Simply Creative Kit.  I didn't purchase the stamp set that went along with the wreath so I did something a little different.

The kit is wonderful as it contains almost everything you need to complete this wreath.  Like I said before, they do have a stamp set that coordinates that you can purchase too.

 I just loved the hot glue that I got.  It's glittery!!!  Yes and if you know me, anything with glitter is awesome!  Too bad they only had 2 purple ones in each bag :(  But the gold, silver, green, and clear glittery ones will look awesome too.  I liked it so much that I used it across the black medallion as a background for my spider :)

 I skipped some steps here but you start with a bare foam wreath and wrap the black garland around it.  Then hot glue the web into place.  I found the easiest way was to lay the web on top of the garland and then slightly fold back the outside of the web.  I placed the hot glue on the backside of the web and then pressed down lightly.

The Tangelo Twist Satin Stripe Ribbon looks wonderful with the black and silver.  With the lines in the ribbon it draws your eyes downward too.

This is the completed wreath.  I forgot to take a picture of all the pieces for the spider before I assembled her.  The spider in the sample wreath was on the outer web but I moved it down since I changed the inside of the wreath too.  I love how it shines against the purple glitter background.

This is my finished product.  To see how it differs from the Stampin' Up! kit--- Frightful Wreath Simply Created Kit
