Club Scrap October Team Challenge: Gift ideas

Welcome to a Club Scrap Team challenge.

We know that soon you are thinking GIFTS,

so today in our blog hop we hope to inspire

you with our DIY gift making.

The hop starts on the Club Scrap Blog

(where you find all the disigners)

but I hope you came here from 

Pam's Blog

and enjoyed her idea for a gift.

So here is my gift idea.

In the last hop I shared with you a gift idea for 

TEA (you can still find it here), 

so today I have something for coffee lovers.

A gift box with coffee and chocolate and

even a pocket for a gift card.

Of course you want to have some instructions,

so let's start with the template for the cover,

the inside  and the chocolate box

Do click on the photo, so you have a larger version

and read all the measurements.

For the papers of this gift box I used Crewel and

Unusual papers from the 2016 Febuary kit.

This is the start of the inside of the giftbx "book".

For decoration I leave the creativity

up to you. I stamped some papers or I used decorated

paper (helps making it faster!)

After contructing the box for chocolates,

I advise you to use some read strong tape (the red version!)

This is ribbons and brads from the kit and perfect to make

the bands that hold the coffee sachets.

The ribbons are 7,5 inch long and taped down

in the back.

On the other  side I added sugar sachets, a spoon and a 

gift card (but you can also add a sweet card in the

pocket with a wish. The coffee cup is made with

a Tim holtz die and stamps from 2008 Gift Tag set (Club Scrap).

Here used 4 inch long ribbon and made a slit

half way to tuck in the ribbon. of course the ribbon is

taped down in the back.

Here a template of the pocket.

Click on the photo to see the larger version

to read all the sizes better.

Everything taped to the box

and now filled with delicious goodies.

On the spine of the book-box I added the text

with a vintage alphabet from 2007 Fizz ( one

of my favourites).

To decorat the outside cover I made these tags with

cupes. They are die cuts from Tim Holtz.

The tags I stamped with my Mocha Java stamps.

al papers are still from

the Crewel and Unusal kit.

Well, this was my contribution, but there is so much more.

The next gift ideayou find on
