I had a lot of fun making this little gift. The box came from the dollar store (a package of 12 boxes for $1).
The bottle wrapped in paper is a small lotion (a freebie from a nice hotel).
Because the box was a little flimsy (since it is from the dollar store after all), I secured the bottom flaps with adhesive (you can't see the adhesive after it is assembled) and now it is very sturdy.
For being an EXTREMELY inexpensive gift (the box was less than ten cents and the lotion was free), I think it is stinkin' cute!
The flower image is from the Simply Said stamp set. I stamped the dotted outline flower image in ruby red, then the solid flower image was stamped in versamark. Then the image was heat embossed with iridescent ice embossing powder.
The scalloped piece is on a pop up glue dot.
Thanks for looking!
