Just Add Ink #439 Gift Boxes

Hi all,
well I am amidst the crazy run up to Christmas and I don't even want to think how few days are left. I am looking forward to some time off over Christmas and into January. But before I get there let me share my project for this week's Just Add Ink challenge. This week Patrice has asked us to Just Add Gift Boxes and the challenge will run for two weeks, closing January 2nd. There will be no winner or runner ups for this one, as the Just Add Ink team will be on our annual summer break, we would just like everyone to share the Christmas projects they have been making for family, friends and colleagues.

As my nieces and nephews have grown older I switched over to buying them all a gift card as a Christmas present but to make it special each year I package/ present it differently. This year I added the gift cards into little boxes, each one decorated the same but different.

Here are the first three.

I made six in total.

Here's a closer picture of the last three.

Once I had my design worked out, the mass production went pretty quickly, all I had to do then was add a little name tag to each one.

The Just Add Ink DT have some gorgeous gift boxes to share and we would really love to see what you have made so please whether it's before or after Christmas, remember the challenge is open till Jan 2nd we'd love to see the gift boxes you made this festive season!

Thanks for visiting and a very Merry Christmas to you all. I'll be having a little summer blog break but Just Add Ink, and I, will be back January 18th with our annual blog hop to kick start the year.

Colour INKspiration 36

Hello there,

welcome to the Colour INKspiration 36 blog hop. If you are hopping your way around the blog hop, you will have arrived from Nicole Wilson's blog. If you are starting the hop here but would like to go to the start at the  Colour INKspiration challenge page over on Facebook, just click the link to be redirected and ask to join the group, that way you can load your projects directly to the Facebook group.

Please remember the new rules about what else you can add to the mix in addition to the challenge colours below; essentially just the Basics - Whisper White, Very Vanilla and Basic Black as well as metallics. Here's the INKspiration picture for this week. The colours for this round are Crushed Curry, Soft Suede, Basic Gray and Silver foil.

Here's what I came up with.

Those colours said bear and honey to me so I pulled out one of my fav sets - A Little Wild and got colouring! Hope you can join us and have some fun too! Next up, on the blog hop is Tanya Bell with another awesome project. Enjoy!
