Kitchen Sink Monday: Thanks Berry Much

Here’s my project for this week’s Kitchen Sink Stamps Monday. I made up a simple 2-5-7-10 gift box to hold a sweet thank you treat.

The box is made from Berry Sorbet cardstock stamped randomly with images from the Big & Bold Swashes stamp set in coordinating ink. I made a window in the front of the box so that the treats (berry-shaped, of course!) would show through. The window's framed with a scalloped circle that's dotted with some Petal Pink Liquid Pearls.

I also made a coordinating thank you tag for the box. The tag is stamped with one of the yummy berry images from the Multi Step Berries set. I added the thank you sentiment in black ink. There's a hole punched at the top of the tag so the box's ribbon closure could be threaded through the tag and tied in a pretty bow.
