Golf Giftie pizza box

I decorated this Mini Pizza Box for a golf-themed giftie.  These Mini Pizza Boxes are the perfect size for gift cards, cash, jewelry, or other small gifties.  They are also coated on the inside, so they are food-safe. There is also a matching 3" x 3" card on the inside.

I started this project by pressing my Sahara Sand ink pad all over the unfolded Mini Pizza Box - this was very juicy.  I let that sit for just a minute.  Then I took a sponge and rubbed it all over, picking up the extra ink, and at the same time - getting the ink down into the folds. Notice how it kind of looks like suede?  I like it!  That darker spot is where I hit it with the ink pad one too many times, so it had more ink.  Look at how much ink is on the sponge - that was a clean sponge!

It did take a while to dry, but this is the effect I wanted.  You can't rush greatness.  :)

After I inked the box, I went to work on the belly band.  I got a few stamps from Technique Junkies, last week at the Stamp & Scrapbook Expo.  This one is a background size stamp called "Golf Club Patent".  It's very cool.  I stamped across the Night of Navy Belly Band, in Night of Navy ink.

It wraps around, and secure it on the bottom side.  Note how I've got just about 1/4" showing.

To make this belly band for the Mini Pizza Box:

Cardstock:  2 3/4" x 10 1/4".   Stamp your belly band.

Score at 1", 2 1/8", 5 3/4", and 6 7/8".   Secure on the back side.

I wrapped a piece of Night of Navy Corduroy trim around, and attached with glue dots.  In retrospect, the glue dots did not hold well.  I would just leave this corduroy off, or use much stronger adhesive.  :(  But it looked good at first.

Then I built the box topper.  I used the largest Stitched Shapes circle die, in Night of Navy.  Then I punched out a piece of Sahara Sand with the 2 1/2" circle punch.  Stamp that with the Gallery Grunge stamp set, and Sahara Sand ink. 

I also stamped the same Golf Club Patent stamp on some Sahara Sand, using Night of Navy ink.  Also stamped the sentiment.  Hand-cut all of that.  The golf club is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  The word bits are on with Mini Glue Dots.

I finished it of with some Neutral Dots that I had from a while back.

Side view -

This is the little card that fits inside the box.  It's 3" x 3".  Used the same Golf Club Patent set, a greeting, and more of those Neutrals dots.  I hand-cut the flag end.

I hope this gives you an idea for how to package your next little giftie!
