Sesame Street Gift Boxes

My baby recently turned one and I decided to go with a Sesame Street theme for his first birthday party.  I had to splurge and get this SS paper pad when I saw it online at Joann Fabrics.  It is so adorable and it was PERFECT for what I had in mind to make.  I knew exactly what I was going to make when I saw the Make A Wish SVG Kit at SVG Attic.  The gift box in that set is so cute!  I especially love the bow on top :)  I sized all the box parts at 12.8" wide to make the boxes big enough to hold some chunky cars that my little one was getting for his birthday.  Well, I went a little overboard and made three of these boxes...but they were so easy to make so it didn't take me a lot of time.

Here is the first box.  I embossed the bow with a star embossing folder to compliment the stars on the lid.  I also used brown chalk around the bow and the box's side panels to add depth.  The two stripes of blue "ribbon" on the top are simply rectangles of cardstock that I cut at 1.5" wide.
 This box was made in the same way except I used a circles embossing folder on the bow.
 On this one I did not emboss the bow and I used real ribbon (1.5" wide) to decorate the lid.
Here is what they look like all together...now you see why I had to get this paper to use, don't you!

  13. Hi Beth! Super cute idea. You're always SO creative. I hope you will stop by and share with us again this week at Word Art Wednesday. I love having your share your cards and creations with us, and hope you will link them ALL! (up to 5 per week).
    By the way, do you live in the US? The reason I ask is because (first, I appreciate your congrats on my win at MFP) I would be happy to mail you this stamp set when it arrives. If you think you will use it, I'm happy to share. Just email me your address (if you are in the US).

    Hope to see your lovely art shared in our challenges SOON (and often).
    Blessings,
