I'm doing a Secret Santa gift exchange with some friends and wanted to include a little something for their families. I finally settled on creating a 2-5-7-10 box for each of them and filling it with their favorite candies.
I used heavy kraft cardstock for the base of the boxes and decorated them with stamps from Artistic Outpost. To finish off the vintage look, I lightly inked all of the edges with distress ink and tied the boxes with twine from the hardware store. Here is a close-up of one of the boxes.
I'm very pleased with how the boxes look and I can't wait to hear what my friend and her family thinks, especially when they find their favorite bite-sized treats inside. Thanks for stopping by!
Supplies:
Stamps: Artistic Outpost; kraft cardstock and very vanilla cardstock by Stampin' Up; red, green, or blue cardstock by Bazzill; Stazon black ink; Prismacolor Premier pencils; odorless mineral spirits; antique linen, brushed corduroy, barn door, and aged mahogany distress ink; Stickles; tag punch; twine; Terrifically Tacky Tape.
