Painted Lavender hand cream box – Touches of Ink Blog Hop October 2024

Today I’m taking part in the Touches of Ink blog hop, so you may have joined me from our new member of the group Karina Ruppert’s blog. Welcome! This month I’ve used the Painted Lavender stamp set and dies along with the Perennial Lavender DSP to make my Painted Lavender hand cream box…

I love the shape of this box…

ABOUT MY PROJECT

I love making and decorating gift boxes. With today’s Painted Lavender hand cream box I wanted to show how you can use up some of your favourite designer series paper scraps to decorate boxes.

The main body of the box is made with Crumb Cake card but all the die cut decorations are from Perennial Lavender DSP. Of course I also added little bit of stamping for the butterflies plus ribbons and embellishments.
