It's New Year's Eve and time to celebrate! Hi Prickley Pear Friends, Tia from RockyMtnCraftia.com, jumping in with more ideas from this awesome new Southwest Collection.
I love making pop-boxes! And the Kokopelli Musicians from the "Just Dance" stamp set were perfect for my birthday pop-box!
Now I admit, I wish I had thought to plan my design with the release date and made this pop-box a New Year's themed box. But you can see for yourself how easy it would be to do that!
My inspiration came from these dollar gift boxes I found at Michael's Craft Store. First, I folded and closed the bottom of the gift box. Then, with scissors I cut the sides of the top of the box so there would be three flaps. I then measured and cut cardstock to cover each of the flaps. Before adhering the coverings I embossed my sentiments on them using the Kokopelli-Happy Birthday sentiments.
I stamped each musician with ink to match my box and heat embossed them for added shine. I fussy cut each musician & the music notes (embossed in gold glitter).
I cut 2-strips of white cardstock at 2.5x.5 to make the braces across the box. I used strips of acetate, attached with clear pop-dots to adhere each Musician to the box. I also use a strip of acetate for the music notes to be playing from the horn of the Musician. I finished my box with a gold music embellishment.
I think the entire Prickley Pear Design Team has just had a blast playing with these Kokopelli images! And I really wanted to highlight them in bright bold colors because they are just so fun!
