Happy New Year Everyone. This year I am choosing to create my own headlines each day this coming year instead of letting the media dictate the focus of my day. I have also chosen a word for the year kind of like my mantra. I want to see the Good and be the Good.
PREVAIL
My project for today is a cute little box. Whenever I hear crisp creases I go to packaging. I love to get and give cute little packaging with my gifts. I know most of the time, even though you spend time to make it special, the box or tag gets tossed. But I choose to believe that the recipient remembers how they felt when the received the package (at least I do)
Digging into the annual catalog I pulled out my petals and parcel box. The box goes together quite simply and easily. It creates two sizes. Lots of Youtube how to videos - check them out!
I made a belly band out of one of the decorative elements included with the dies and pasted a tag to hide the join. These are great to leave on someone's car, desk, pillow, porch, table favor etc.
Stamps - Petals and Parcels
Paper - Basic Black, Whisper White, Sale -a- Bration Flower and Field DSP
Ink - Black
Accessories - Perfect Parcel Dies
Another goal I have this year is to be on time with my birthday cards, instead of always getting them to the recipient late (embarrassing) and to get Christmas cards and tags done ahead of schedule. Are you always on schedule??? What are your crafting goals?

I love the contrast with the black and white on this box, and that new paper is the perfect highlight! Thanks for sharing :-D
Very cute project. I also like your positive spirit for starting each day. I should adopt your resolution for getting cards out in time. We’ll see... 😀
Your box is so pretty! What a nice way to give a gift!
I also LOVE your word and your intentions for the New Year. I have a similar plan for birthday cards and hope it lasts!!
