Our end of month team has some inspiration at DCD where I'm sharing my gift box below. You can only find the details and a bonus on this personal post.
Supplies: Paper - My Favorite Things
Watercolor Wash & Orange Sherbet; scraps
Stamps - MFT Mini Messages & More
Dies - MFT Everyday Gift Box,
Arched Happy Birthday,
Other - Hero Arts Grape Slush ink
We were to be sponsored by My Favorite Things which sadly has closed. We'll still be offering a $25 gift card randomly drawn from eligible July entries; just to a different store than MFT.
I will miss MFT very much! I've said before how much I love their Blueprints but I also love their boxes! This sweet gift box fits a gift card or a small jewelry box.
I die cut the box bottom & top, plus a scalloped layer & the tag, all included in the gift box set (link is to Frantic Stamper where they still have one left as of this writing). Assembled the box with the layer. Stamped a sentiment on the tag. Die cut a bday sentiment and outline layer, plus some flowers from various sets. Very quick and easy! Here's a view with the box lid off where you can see the gift card inside:
Ready for a bonus? This time I made an A2 sized birthday card:
Supplies: Paper - Spellbinders A2 card;
My Favorite Things Watercolor Wash;
Neenah Solar White; scraps
Stamps - MFT All Occasion Scripted Greetings
& Let's Celebrate
Dies - MFT Stitched Center Strip,
Die Cuts and Scraps, Drink Décor,
Party Décor, Long Stem Barware,
Garnish
Other - Hero Arts enamel dots; foam tape
Die cut all the elements and assembled. The frame was cut four times and stacked. I backed one and stamped before I stacked the rest. Added the elements and dots, trimming any excess & adhered to an A2 card. Quite easy, even the sprinkles on the cupcake.
I will add my card to Darnell's IDEAS (Anything Goes this week) and to her July NBUS Challenge #76 since my drinks and décor are newly used here. Also to Seize the Birthday #310 using the Anything Goes option. My fave color (purple) is on the box, not the card...
Thanks for stopping by and please link your final projects to our July Diva Birthday Challenge! (limit 4 max) by 9pm Pacific Time! Happy crafting!!

A cute way to give a gift with a decorated box. No need to warp it! I love the birthday card too as it represent my kind of party, cake and drinks! Glad that you joined us in the fun at Seize the Birthday challenge.
Love the cake and cocktails card! Saw it over on Darnell's IDEAS challenge and had to swing by for a closer look! The gift box was a bonus! Hugs, Kate!
Very fun birthday projects!
Great projects, Linda.
I will miss MFT, too, Linda. I think all my stitched dies and a lot of my early basic dies and stamps were from them and they have stood me well. Their poppy stamps are still favorites. I love both the darling gift box and fun birthday card you've created! Can't beat cake and cocktails!! Thank you for using this week's I.D.E.A.S. Calendar and linking in the gallery on my blog and on NBUS to motivate others!📌Hugs, Darnell
What a wonderful set of projects, Linda! The box is so very pretty and a great way to jazz up a gift card!
