Are you ready for fall? Let’s see, apple cider . . . falling leaves . . . hearty soup . . . hayrides . . . my favorite sweater . . . hot chocolate . . . in the mood? Well, I might as well not long for fall alone! I’ve held my composure through the hot, hot summer and now I’m pushing for fall to get here. You can tell that crafts are turning and starting to look at fall, and beyond to Christmas. Whew!! Yes, I’m ready. In fact, I have a project to share using a release from a new set with JustRite Stampers called Autumn Labels Twenty Two. I used the largest stamp, the the others in the set are an adorable match. As it sat in my stash all month I thought about how long it stays hot in the south and how quickly fall disappears into winter. I pulled together a gift box that I’ll be sending along as a thank you for your hospitality gift. I thought I would make my own dry cider mix (you know with all those yummy smelling spices) and put it in a bow wrapped cellophane bag to go into the box. Or perhaps a box of caramels . . . . mmmm . . . I have to be the taste tester on that too . . . haa!!!
I colored two of the images with Copic Markers, and made a frame out of the top image – that double layer, which was cut with Spellbinder™ Labels Twenty Two, was added on top of Spellbinders™ Picot Edge Circles. Then I turned to construct the box – it is 4″ x4″x2″. Before taping the corners of the lid, I ran each side through my Grand Calibur with Spellbinders™ Classic Scallop Edgeabiltities to get the cool scalloped border. Hmmm, I could put packets of gourmet hot chocolate in here too. One day I’ll even be organized enough that I’ll have gift items made up in advance so that I don’t have the suffer the lastminute-itis that I go through when I know a gift is appropriate :-)
| SUPPLIES I USED |
| Stamps: JustRite Stampers, Autumn Labels Twenty Two Paper: Bazzill, print DP from my Stash Ink: Versafine Onyx Black Accessories: Spellbinder™ Labels Twenty Two, Spellbinders™ Picot Edge Circles, Spellbinders™ Classic Scallop Edgeabiltities, seam binding, Bazzill Button, Recollections Pearls, sheer ribbon |

Your card is just beautiful, thank you for sharing it and getting me in the mood for fall.
Beautiful box, Becca — love how you cute and popped up the label to make it a frame!
There is that Picot Edge Circle again! I just love that one–yes, absolutely on my list. I love the fall the best, too. There is no sweating, no freezing, and no allergies (so far :-)
Amazing box! I love the design. Thank you for using your God-given creative gift to amaze me with these beautiful crafts!
GORGEOUS box! I vote for caramels in the box … or make a little deeper box to hold a caramel covered apple dipped in chopped nuts!!
…and send it to me!!!

This is beautiful, Becca. Love every detail.
Becca, what a beautiful box! It makes me want to invite you over so you’ll bring it to me! Mulling spices! Love your coloring too! Loving this set!
YUMMY — your box and that other idea to enlarge it to hold a caramel apple — the best of both worlds for fall for me — apples & caramel — heaven!!!
WAUW Becca your box is so wonderful made. And your coloring on the stamps are just soo amazing. You´re just incredible hun, I just love to watch your work every time.
I’m so impressed with your creations so even though I’m not a blogger and am only an occasional card-maker I had to tell you, you’re in a league of your own. Your work is truly perfection.
what a beautiful box. lovely colours.
what a beautiful box. lovely colours.
WOW gorgeous box!!!! I really like stamps that go with the spellbinders!!!!
Gorgeous gift box, Becca! Love the beautiful fall colors and your framed pumpkin is wonderful!
WOW, Becca!!!! This looks FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! I know what you can add to the inside of your little box!!!!!!!! Spiced/ Seasoned Pumpkin Seeds!!!!!!!!!! ( Since the label says that!!!!!! :) heee, heee! )
Adore the box and adorments you have come up with. What a fun and festive stamp set. A few of these boxes in various colorations, would be gorgeous and festive mixed in with other table centerpiece items on Thanksgiving table. Might have to borrow this idea for sure. Luv it and your creative mind. Must run, haven’t had time for the past few days to even touch my computer. Must try and play catch up on all my e-mails. Looks like you have been busy and I have to check out what I have missed.

this is lovely.
Very nice, festive.
Wow a gorgeous box!
Stunning!
Just as you said, this is makeing me think of the leaves changing colors and the air starting to get a crispness to it.
I adore your card samples. A dear friend makes elaborate cards like yours and I just LOVE to receive them. I make simple designs but when I decide to think outside the box I use your designs and my friend lynda’s as a starting off point. Thank you for blogging!
Your little pumpkin gift box is so sweet! The image is coloured so nicely. What a pretty bow!
Thanks for sharing! :)
Becca,
Gorgeous box. Love the coloring, layering and bow.
God bless,
Peggy Allen
I love that little box! The coloring is fab. I can think of lots of uses for that adrable thing.
Your box is so very lovely, Becca!
Becca this is exquisite and so clever! I am in love with this new set!!! You really showcased the detail with your fabulous coloring as well. You are always so inspiring!
Your box is lovely Becca. I am sure no matter what you put in it, it will be much appreciated. We are seeing the first signs of fall here. Hope it’s a nice long one as I’m not ready for winter yet.
Blessings Bernie

Becca I love this box! Fabulous job!!
Great gift box. I hope you’ll share your recipe for dry cider mix.
Becca, you always do the most *amazing* work and this is no exception – what a stunning box and love the way you cut the frame!! Gorgeous!!
Becca, absolutly love the box and the ideas for the contents. Your work and creativity is so amazing and inspiring. Thank you for sharing with us.
In my book, fall is the most beautiful of all the seasons. Our tree leaves are just beginning to turn colour, building to a crescendo round about Canadian Thanksgiving. Sigh, what a beautiful life.
And what a beautiful box. I’m mad about fall colours you’ve incorporated on the box, the sensational ribbon, ooooh that ribbon and JR’s Autumn Labels. You are so clever in designing and putting it all together. You have outdone yourself again, Becca.
Gorgeous coloring, framing and presentation for anything you put inside :)
your gift box is sure pretty. justrite and spellbinder sure work well togeather.. ,there lucky to have you showing the best of them ,were lucky too, showing us how thanks lori
Beautiful box. Whatever you put inside is just an added bonus. Thanks for all the wonderful inspiration your blog provides. Hugs.
I love the fall and all of it’s glorious colors, I’ve always called it some of God’s best work. That is one beautiful box you have created Becca, love the beautiful bow and the pearl brad embellishment. The die-cutting is superb and layered so nicely. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
Your box and card are really lovely Becca.
Yum, hot apple cider and a caramel apple sounds good right now! The hot chocolate is wonderful too and I love to watch it rain or snow just snuggled up under a blanket on the couch with a hot cup of chocolate and some popcorn. It may get cool enough here this weekend to enjoy that! Thanks for the wonderful ideas and I hope you have a great night.
awesome Fall box Becca!!
W – O – W !!!!! Absolutely adorable gift box, Becca! I LOVE the way you used your Copic markers to color the JustRite stamped image! Stunning!!! It is soooooo awesome how JustRite and Spellbinders have teamed up to give us a ton of creative choices!
