A “pizza box”!!! lol Here’s how to make it on SCS, HERE. At first I couldn’t think of what to put inside but then it hit me that 4×4 gift cards and envelopes would be great in there! I did make my box larger than the pattern on SCS. Mine is 4.5 x 4.5 finished and I used a 6.5 x 12 piece of double sided pattern paper from the Butterfly Garden by Pink Paislee collection. I also used the 6×6 matching pad for “parts”.
Four gift cards and envelopes… I used my MS scoreboard envelope maker… LOVE that thing! CC Designs rubber stamps… links below.
Close up of how I colored the birdhouse! I wanted it to look really rustic…eek! it does! lol I used Distress ink pads and Ranger Cut ‘n Dry nibs and just colored it in… quite easy… vintage photo, walnut stain, pumice stone, weathered wood, aged mahogany, peeled paint, pine needle, mustard seed…I had FUN! I used a crackle stamp from Magenta on a couple of the stamped images and on the Swirly Butterfly die cut.
I thought it needed an easier way to get it open, so I got out a circle punch and punched in a bit so it’s real easy to get open now. *here’s a tip for you though* Punch the circle before you tape/glue it into the box shape! *’nother tip* STAMP before you tape/glue it into the box!!! YEP, rather tricky stamping on a flimsy box!

Love your weathered birdhouse. Growing up we had trees surrounding us and I mean LOTS of trees. I spent my Summers looking through them for bird nests. Your box immediately took me back there! Love the butterfly die too.
Stunning, my dear, just stunning!
I love this pizza box idea!!! You did such a great job with all of the embellishments and distressed look. Great job!!
It’s gorgeous Pam!

Oh Pam first of all thank you for stopping at my blog. I feel kinda of special that you stopped in. Your shaggy Bird house gift card are so cute and the pizza box is so neat but I’m still not sure about the bow. It is stunning how you made it part of the card but yet it stands a long it is awesome the way you colored it, did you put something on top of the birdhouse? Something just brighten it up. You did amazing job making it look rustic. That was a good idea making the quarter around circle on the box top so it would be easier to open. Outstanding!!!
Hugs…
Wow, Pam, this is realy awesome!! Your birdhouse is so real, what a great job. Thank you for giving me the inspiration to put some cards in these boxes (I made a few myself lately), now I have to go and practice on the envelopes. Big hug from The Netherlands, Renata.
