And now a few details about my project…

 I made a pizza box style gift box. I started with a piece of 11 by 6 inch Pure Luxury Ivory card stock, then used my Scor-Pal to score at 1, 5, 6 and 10 inches. Just a reminder you can click on photos to see them larger. 

I rotated my card stock and scored at 1 and 5 inches.

I used my Cutterbee scissors to trim along the tabs as shown in the photo.

Then folded and creased along the score lines.

Then I used Scor-Tape to adhere the tabs.

To decorate the top of the box, I used Spellbinders™Marvelous Squares to cut and emboss ivory card stock, then I sponged lightly around the edges with Memento Love Letter ink.

Using Versa Mark ink, I heat embossed the poinsettia with gold embossing powder.

Because I knew I wanted to layer the poinsettia, I heat embossed a second image with gold embossing powder. Then I began coloring with my R89 Copic.

Added R29.

Added R24.

Then filled in with R22. After coloring I cut out the poinsettia.

I colored the poinsettia on the Marvelous Squares background to match the first one. Then I filled in the holly leaves with G21. .

Added G03 to shade.

Next, I adhered the cut out poinsettia, rotating it to make it look fuller, and added a self adhesive pearl to the center.

I cut another piece of ivory card stock with the largest of the Marvelous Squares die templates and sponged Memento Love Letter, very lightly while still in the die template.

Next, I cut more ivory card stock with Spellbinders Fancy Lattice expandable patterns die template. After cutting, I trimmed into small strips and sponged very lightly with the same sponge dauber. 

The layers were assembled and adhered to the box top, then I adhered the lattice pieces to the sides.
