Fall is my favorite season.  I particularly love cooking and baking - it's finally cool enough to use the oven and enjoy all the delicious comfort food that I adore.  One of my favorite cooking magazines is Cooks Country.  The little rooster from the A Fitting Occasion stamp set combined with the gingham prints in the Orchard Harvest Designer Series Paper reminded me of the magazine layout.

So with that inspiration, I decided to make a gift box to hold various treats that I might bake for a friend.

• The box is up-cycled from a cardboard pantry item box 
• The crinkly brown paper is from a regular brown paper bag
• I stamped the rooster right on the Designer Series Paper
• I stamped the flower image from the Perfectly Preserved stamp set right on my brown paper bag
• I gently un-assembled my box so I could lay it out flat and cut the top edge with my Adorning Accents Edgelit die
• The Core-dinations Card Stock is embossed with the Woodgrain Embossing folder - it adds such a great rustic touch
• Use sticky strip to hold everything together!

Supplies:
Stamps:  A Fitting Occasion, Perfectly Preserved, Chamomile (Stampin' Wheel)
Ink:  Raspberry Ripple, More Mustard, Lucky Limeade, Early Espresso
Paper:  Early Espresso Core-dinations Card Stock, Orchard Harvest DSP, More Mustard CS,
Very Vanilla CS
Ribbon:  Linen Thread
Tools:  Stampin' Around Handle, Big Shot, Wood Grain Embossing Folder, Floral Frames Framlits, 1 1/4" Scallop Circle Punch, 3/4" Circle Punch, Adorning Accents Edgelits Die
