Hello! My name is Kathy Jo and welcome to day 2 of the Walnut Hollow and Quietfire 2014 Blog Hop! We’re pleased you’re joining us and know you’ll find lots of creative inspiration for combining Quietfire stamps on the beautiful Walnut Hollow wood products.
For my project, I used Walnut Hollow's card box, item 1704OP
and Quietfire's newly released stamp set Give Thanks
The box is planned to be a Christmas gift and will contain Thank You cards for the recipient.
First, the box was painted antique white. Graphic 45's Birdsong paper was cut to size and applied to the box lid. The base of the box was covered with faux
black leather card stock. Ivory lace was applied along the edge of the lid and a key hole embellishment was applied to the front.
Birdsong paper was die cut using Spellbinders' Elegant Ovals. The gorgeous Give Thanks was heat embossed in gold on vellum and then die cut using Spellbinders' Floral Ovals. Green Graphic 45 paper was die cut using Spellbinders' Foliage Flourish and was glued around the edge of the vellum. Coordinating flowers, an antique key embellishment, mini gold ribbon and butterflies were also adhered as shown. Stickles was applied to the butterflies as the final touch.
Here is another look at the finished box:
I just love this box! The sentiment is so beautiful and the lovely box with the curved lid edge just begs the recipient to open it!

What a great idea to make a box with thank you cards in it! Thanks for the inspiration.
That is just beautiful, I love the gift idea! my daughter and I make cards for everyone for Christmas, this would be awesome.
Beautiful! I did a double-take before reading the instructions because the background of the stamp looked mirrored! The stamp on the vellum is the perfect touch!

Gorgeous! Love the embossed sentiment.
How do I get on your gift list?? I love all the colors and textures!
WOW! You are so creative.
This is the second box I've seen. They keep getting better & better. I like the added key to the lid. A beautiful box!
So bright and beautiful--how could anyone resist a peek inside???
:)
That...is... beautiful! I sure wish I had the vision to take a plain wooden box and turn it into a piece of artwork like that. I love it!
This is just stunning! You did a fabulous job on it.
Stunning and gorgeous. WOW! beautiful work with fabulous layers and colors. What a great piece of art that is useable. Nice work.
Awesome! Love all the colors!
wow, the decorated top of your box is just amazing! Those flowers are incredible.
Love the flowers you used to decorate the box with!
Beautifully embellished box--I like the key.
I am a collector of boxes and this is just beautiful! Love it! :)
Love love love this box! Wow....
I had to leave work due to health issues. My boss was very kind to me. I'd love to make a designed box for her with cards in it as a way to begin to thank her! Thank you for the instructions! Great box!!
Oh my this box reminds of Ireland! So magical!
I love the incorporation of the vellum into your box design. It adds a very muted but soft effect to the overall design. Job well done!
This is gorgeous! I am thinking of making one and and lining it with some velvet for a lovely jewelry box.
You did a fantastic job!!
Kathy Jo, the box is so amazing! You went above and beyond in decorating this awesome looking box! I wish I had your creativity!
Great way to decorate the box. Love the quote you used.
Amazing card box, loved the green colour!
Your box would be a great gift for anyone, as items other than cards can be put in it and your design does not "label" it as a card box.
Kathy Jo, your little box is so very elegant!! I surely wouldn't mind such a beautiful gift, for sure.
Who wouldn't love to receive this gift!!
What a great way to encourage maybe a grandchild to be grateful at Christmas, by sending out thank you notes afterward! I love the sentiment from Quietfire, and your decorating is pretty sweet too! :)
