Nicole had a fun challenge for us this week on the Stampin'B's blog -- to make a 3 x 3 box and four matching cards. Actually, I think my box came out around 3 1/4 x 3 1/4, but it was close enough. The base of the box itself is SU Basic Black, covered with some G*C*D Floral Garden DP I had left over from a previous Twilight project. The base of the lid is SU Real Red, covered with Real Red DSP. As a true Twilight fan, I had purchased the two Artful Inkables stamp sets inspired by the Twilight phenomenon – Into the Moonlight and Fictionally Inspired. The image on the box depicts the covers of all four books in the series. Those images appear singly on each one of the covers. I stamped it with Palette Noir Black and colored with Prismacolor and Copic markers, sponging around the edge with Real Red. I cut out the squares with Nestabilities and tied the silver ribbon around the lid.
The four matching cards were quite simple – Flourishes Classic White, SU Real Red, and some more of the G*C*D Floral Garden DP. I had to make the envelopes using my Ultimate Crafters Companion Enveloper – what a great tool! I stamped the back of the envelope flaps with a small flourish from Swirly Q’s by Fiskars.

Oh my gosh! I love your project! I am a Twilight fan as well! What a great gift idea for my fellow Twi-fans! I hope you don't mind if I "case" your project ... ;)

Very pretty and I love the dp you used on the box. This box and the notecards will be a wonderful treat for someone...and the pretty envelopes included. Wonderful set!
