Zoo Crew lidded gift box – Touches of Ink Blog Hop September 2023

September 13, 2023
12 Comments

13 Sep

Today I’m taking part in the Touches of Ink blog hop so you may have joined me from Sandra Nitschke’s blog. We are all using our choice of bundle or suite from the current Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue. I’ve used Zoo Crew to make this lidded gift box…

I love this cute and fun product suite and have used the stamps, dies, designer series paper and even the ribbon from the suite for this cute box. The lid is made with Pool Party card that I stamped around the edges with Pool Party ink. The base is Basic Black…

I really like that contrast, don’t you? The lid has a layer of Basic Black card and the some of the Zoo Crew DSP. I added some ribbon and then a topper featuring that cute singing tortoise. I also stamped some tissue paper to wrap the gift inside…

And the gift inside is this cute note book and coaster set. Now you see why I simply had to use the Zoo Crew suite!

Now it’s time to hop along to see what the lovely Sabine Leclerc has created for this month’s blog hop.

Or you can use this list of everyone taking part, to check them all out:

  • Simone Kleine – derdiedasKleine bastelt
  • Vickie Littlewood – Vickie Lou Designs 
  • Liane Gorny – Jungle Cards
  • Patricia Lemke Pattis-Stempel-Tempel 
  • Iris Philipps – iriStempelt
  • Sandra Nitschke – Gelettertundgestempelt
  • Heather Forgann – Stamp With Nellie (you are here)
  • Sabine Leclerc – Kreativwerkstatt Julamé 

measurements

The finished box measures 4-1/2″ x 6-1/4″ x 1″

To make this Zoo Crew lidded box you’ll need the following supplies:

  • Basic Black card for the base measuring 6-1/2″ x 8-1/4″
    • score at 1″ on all 4 sides
  • Pool Party card for the lid measuring 6-1/16″ x 7-13/16″
    • score at 3/4″ on all 4 sides
  • Basic Black card for the lid measuring 4-3/8″ x 5-7/8″
  • Zoo Crew DSP measuring 4″ x 5-3/4″
  • Basic White card for stamping and die cutting the tortoise
  • Basic White card measuring 2-1/8″ x 3-1/8″ for the topper
  • scraps of card to die cut the small balloons
  • ribbon and embellishements

I didn’t want to chop into a full sheet of Lemon Lime Twist card to die cut 2 tiny balloons to add to my box decorations. So instead, I coloured white card and die cut them from that instead – it’s a good trick if you don’t have the right colour of card…

SHOP THE PRODUCTS

I’ve listed the products I used for today’s Zoo Crew lidded gift box below. You can click on any of these links to view that product in my online Stampin’ Up! shop. The Zany Zoo stamp set and dies can be purchased separately, but if you buy them as a bundle you’ll save 10%. I’ve shown both options below.

When you shop with me you’ll receive a handmade card and gift as a token of my appreciation. If your order is under £150 please use the current Host Code so that I can add in a free product to your customer thank you pack for the month. Find out more on the Host Code page in the main menu.

Happy crafting,

Heather x
