Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Bird Banter



Hello everyone 😊

Welcome to the Stamping Sunday Blog Hop (Second Sunday) hosted by Sara Levin.

You are currently here with Kim Oliver - KO Creations Cards - Australia. I have the list of hop participants closer to the end of this post.

I am hoping to inspire today using the Bird Banter stamp set.
I have created a simple card along with a cute little gift box that can be used to hold many little gift items.



Here are my projects

Suspiciously Young Looking

 I have revisited an old box design using the tag topper punch to create this sweet candle box. I altered the design to make it taller, so as to fit a larger candle.

  • Card Stock - Thick Whisper White (base), Daffodil Delight (box and card layers), Pink Pirouette and Water Colour card stock.

  • Powder Pink Shimmer ribbon.
