Boxes and Necklaces for Camp

I have been very busy the last week, working on crafty things for the girls camp I am in charge of in a few short weeks. I am trying to get all the handouts and gift type things done by the 16th. Because then I need to focus on Camping Supplies and Food.

Today I am finishing up 16 boxes I am making for the necklaces I finished up last week. I thought I would share the necklaces with you now that I have the paper stamped for the boxes and one of them made.

The hardest part for doing these boxes was finding bright or Lime Green cardstock that was affordable and individually packaged.I was only finding assortments and didnt want to buy 4 assortment packs just to get the green paper out. I love when things work out like that. This morning I was inspired to go to my local print shop. The place I get my vellum. They had This lovely green. Yeah! I made the bottom out of the green cardstock I was able to pick up at .10$ a sheet. I bought all 31 pieces he had on stock, for making tags and other stuff.

On white card stock I stamped using my Versa Color Lime spot, and my Versa magic Midnight Black dewdrop. I used the new SU Baroque Motif my demo loaned me. I am pretty sure I am ordering this set. I love it. I showed the paper before I folded it under the necklaces so you can see what it looks like when I stamped it. I have some nice lime ribbon and some Black & white Gingham i am using onthese boxes also.

This picture shows the lid and the inside of the box. These boxes are nice and sturdy because the paper is doubled up. I really like them. I got the directions for this box from Nicole's Blog, almost 2 months ago. She has a great tutorial there with pictures. Here's a link to the directions {capture the moment}.

Well I have a few more boxes to fold and fiddle with, and some stuff I need to get ready for tomorrow nights camp prep meeting with the girls. Until Later...Happy Stamping!

Psst... The aboundance of Lime Green Coloring is because the girls chose it for our group last march. You don't know how happy I have been to find all the lime green products in the stores. I think we will have the best decorated camp site in the area.
