We held the Hamilton Extravaganza on Sunday and for this fun event, I created gifts for my guests using the fabulous Waves of the Ocean Collection.  I filled Kraft Gift Boxes with yummy treats and wrapped the beautiful Waves of the Ocean 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper around to secure them closed.

Bundles: Waves of Inspiration Stamp Set + Waves Dies (cling: 158841).  Ink: Night of Navy (147110).  Card/Paper: Waves of the Ocean 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (159982), Basic White (159228).  Accessories: Kraft Gift Boxes (156569), 1-1/2" Metallic Mesh Ribbon (153550), Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels (159396).  Tools: Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine (149653), Mini Stampin' Dimensionals (144108).

Waves of the Ocean Collection (161797) - $167.75

I deliberately choose the Petal Pink marble pattern for this gift box as something quite different from the mostly-blue Waves of the Ocean projects I have seen.  Over this beautiful soft pastel finish, I added a length of silver 1-1/2" Metallic Mesh Ribbon and die-cut clouds.  Don't you just love the texture of these clouds!  They are made up of two die-cut layers.  I then added some blue rhinestones and the words stamped in Night of Navy ink.

To carry on the oceanic theme, I also decorated the guest gift bags with the Waves of the Ocean Collection too!

Bundles: Waves of Inspiration Stamp Set + Waves Dies (cling: 158841).  Ink: Bermuda Bay (147096), Coastal Cabana (147097), Night of Navy (147110).  Card/Paper: Waves of the Ocean 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (159982), Blue Foils 12" x 12" Specialty Paper (159983), Basic White Thick (159230), Basic White (159228).  Accessories: White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon (151326).  Tools: Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine (149653), Tailor Made Tags Dies (155563), Blending Brushes (153611), Mini Stampin' Dimensionals (144108).  Other: White Gusseted Gift Bags.

This time I went for a tropical turquoise and blue theme, stamping the wave onto the white gift bag in Bermuda Bay ink, adding a strip of the gorgeous Waves of the Ocean Designer Series Paper to the bottom edge, and then overlaying a die-cut blue foil wave.  The die-cut name tag tied to the gift bag has some Coastal Cabana ink sponging using the Blending Brushes.  Over this, I added the stamped pelican-on-a-post in Night of Navy ink.  He looks so serene!
