I love looking around stores for new inspiration. Target is probably my favorite inspiration spot. I go through the gift bag asile and jot down layout ideas or I find these fun little buckets in the dollar spot. Well my latest inspiration piece came from... a pack of gum! Can you believe that? Here's what I did...
First I tore apart the gum box & traced it onto a piece of pumpkin cardstock.
Next, I cut it out and scored all the fold marks. Make sure you include the tabs so you get a nice fold.
My last step was to stamp my images all over the box ~ make sure you do this BEFORE you tape it together. Just fold the score makes and add some strong adhesive ~ VOILA!
Supplies Used: Stamps ~ Hanna Stamps; Cardstock ~ SU; Ink ~ Palette; Ribbon & Eyelets ~ SU; Button ~ Dress it Up!
BTW ~ my Monday post won't show up until 7:00 am. I've got some sneak peeks to show you & a sweet treat too!
ETA: Sorry - I don't have a pattern for this ~ I simply traced a gum box.
