Today’s Mother’s Day gift inspiration is one that you can involved the kids with if you’d like. These fun little coupon-filled pillow boxes will make Mom or Grandma feel super special, and give you the chance to spoil them.
To make your own, start out by trimming your paper to 6″ wide and 5″ long. Follow the instructions on the Pillow Box Punch Board to make your boxes, then assemble and glue them together.
To make the tags, letterpress the “to: from:” tag and the flower tag from the Homemade Printing Plates set. I used Navy Blue Ink to match my papers from the Inked Rose collection.
Next, die cut your letterpress tags using the coordinating dies from the Homemade Nesting Dies. I find it helpful to use Washi Tape to hold the die in the exact spot to cut on the paper. Just be sure not to allow the tape to touch the letterpress image. Run the Letterpress Mini Paper and dies through the Evolution and your beautiful letterpress tags are ready to go!
You can leave the tags as is, or add some details with markers for added color and visual interest.
Make your coupons by handwriting them or printing them from your computer. You can type your own, or download the free printable PDF file I used to create mine by CLICKING HERE. Try to think of special things that you can do that will express your love, and will mean a lot to your recipient. Then die cut them with the new Rectangle Label Punches Die.
Stuff the coupons into your box, embellish the box and add your tag. Share this special gift with your Mom or Grandma on Mother’s Day and watch her heart melt.
Tomorrow I’ve got a very special gift idea using photos and the Flower Punch Board so be sure to come back and see!
