BLOG HOP DAY 1 -- GIFT BOX OF 3 X 3 THANK YOU CARDS

WELCOME TO OUR APRIL 2012 GLITTER QUEEN'S BLOG HOP.  WE ARE DEMONSTRATORS UNDER OUR 'FEARLESS LEADER' DAWN GRIFFITH.  SHE IS THE START OF OUR HOP.  PARTICIPATING IN THIS HOP ARE:

JENNIFER KAY (that's me!!)

TAMARA GADBERRY
ANJI CLEMENTS
CELY HAVENS
CANDICE CRAWFORD

HOPE YOU ENJOY OUR THREE DAY HOP.

FOR MY PROJECT TO SHARE WITH YOU TODAY, I HAVE A FUN LITTLE GIFT BOX THAT MATCHES THE THANK YOU CARDS INSIDE.  THE CARDS ARE ONLY 3 X 3 WHICH MEANS THEY ARE THE KIND YOU ATTACH TO A GIFT OR PERSONALLY HAND TO SOMEONE.  THEY ARE TOO SMALL TO GO INTO THE US MAIL.

I USED PEACH PARFAIT DSP OVER PEACH PARFAIT CARD STOCK.  THE STAMP SET IS OVAL ALL STAMPED ON VERY VANILLA CARD STOCK.  I USED PEACH PARFAIT STRIPED RIBBON TO DECORATE THE BOX.

EACH LITTLE CARD IS MADE WITH A DIFFERENT PRINT FROM THE DSP.

NOTICE THE CUTE LITTLE ENVELOPES THAT MATCH THE CARD?  I LEARNED ABOUT THIS FROM ANGIE JUDA'S BLOG, USING A SMALL ENVELOPE.(thanks Angie!!)

FOR THE ENVELOPE, YOU SEAL THE ENVELOPE SHUT AND THEN CUT ONE END TO THE SIZE YOU NEED.  THIS WILL BE THE OPENING FOR THE TOP OF YOUR ENVELOPE.  CUT A PIECE OF THE DSP AND SCORE IT ABOUT 3/4 INCH FROM ONE EDGE.  ROUND THE CORNERS OF THE LARGER EDGE  WHICH IS YOUR FLAP.  

YOU SLIDE THE SMALLER END INTO THE ENVELOPE AND GLUE IT TO THE INSIDE BACK.  THIS ATTACHES IT TO THE ENVELOPE AND THE FLAP FOLDS TO THE FRONT.  THIS IS SO THE PRETTY FLAP SHOWS WHERE YOU PUT THE RECIPIENT'S NAME.  REMEMBER, THIS DOES NOT GO INTO THE US MAIL.
