KINDEST GNOMES FALL GIFT BOX with FRIENDS OF THE FOREST DSP



Hi Friends!
My project today is a Fall Gift Box that measures  2 3/4  x  5  x  2".  I used Kindest Gnomes stamp set, the Gnome dies, Fabulous Frames dies and Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper.



I started with a piece of Calypso Coral Cardstock sized
10  x  7 1/4".
I scored the  10" side at:
2,  4 3/4,  6 3/4  and  9 1/2".
I scored the  7 1/4" side at:
2,  5 1/4  and  6 3/4".
To cut and put the box together you can watch my Video Tutorial Here.
Below is a picture of how your cardstock should look after scoring and cutting.


I attached 4 pieces of Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper to the box.
(2)  2 1/2  x  4 1/2"  for the front and back.
(2)  1 3/4  x  3"  for the sides.
I attached the DSP to the box with Liquid Glue.
I cut a piece of Mossy Meadow Cardstock sized
2 3/4  x  1"
I scored the 1" side at:
1/2".
I put this piece over the top of the box and secured it with a 3/4" Bulldog Clip.


I stamped the Lady Gnome, from Kindest Gnomes stamp set, onto Basic White Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Ink.
I cut the image out using the Gnomes dies.
I colored the image with Stampin' Blends.
Light and Dark Crumb Cake  -  Hat
Light and Dark Old Olive  -  Shirt, Skirt and Hair Ties
Dark Calypso Coral  -  Apron
Light Flirty Flamingo  -  Top of the Nose
Dark Petal Pink  -  Nose, Face, Hands and Opening in Shoes
Light and Dark So Saffron  -  Braids
Light Smokey Slate  -  Shoes


I cut an Oval Frame from Calypso Coral Cardstock using the Fabulous Frames dies.
I attached the 2 pieces of the Frame to the middle of the front of the box with Liquid Glue.
I attached the Lady Gnome on top of the Frame with Dimensionals.


I tied a large bow with 7/8"Natural Finish Ribbon and attached it to the upper part of the box with 3 Glue Dots.
I stamped the sentiment, from Kinest Gnomes stamp set, onto Mossy Meadow Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Ink.
I cut the sentiment out with a small label die from the Fabulous Frames dies.


I attached the left side of the label just under the knot of the bow with Liquid Glue.
For the final touch I added 3 Calypso Coral Fun Flowers Resin Shapes to the end of the sentiment, Bottom left of the box and the Gnome's Hat.
