Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer and Paper Snips:
- 3-1/4" square from Soft Sky Cardstock
- 3" square of leaves design from Just Add Color Specialty Designer Series Paper
- 2-1/2" x 3-1/4" from Soft Sky Cardstock
- 4 pieces each 7/8" x 3-1/4" from Soft Sky Cardstock
- 4 pieces each 3/4" x 3-1/8" of leaves design from Just Add Color Specialty Designer Series Paper
- peach flower and two green leaves cut from a piece of Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper
Place the pieces of Just Add Color Designer Paper on some Grid Paper to protect your work surface.
Cut a Stamping Sponge into quarters so you have more sponges to work with. Rub the rounded side of the sponge quarter across the open Soft Sky Ink Pad to get it inky. Then, rub it onto the Just Add Color Designer Paper pieces. Get more ink on the sponge as needed. Keep adding ink until you have the color saturation you want.
Tip: I just clean my sponges when I'm done using them by running them under water until no more color is coming off. Then, I let them air dry. They may be stained, but they are clean enough to use with any color of ink in the future.
Color the leaves on the Just Add Color Designer Paper pieces with the Old Olive Stampin' Blends Markers. The markers have a brush tip for coloring in larger areas and a fine tip for coloring in smaller areas. Use the light color first and add highlights with the dark color. Blend the colors by going over everything again with the light color.
Adhere the colored Just Add Color Designer Paper pieces to the corresponding Soft Sky pieces.
Fold the Mini Pizza Box together.
Adhere the large, matted square of Just Add Color Designer Paper to the top of the Mini Pizza Box.
Adhere the four matted strips of Just Add Color Designer Paper to the sides of the Mini Pizza Box.
Fill the box with 3" x 3" note cards, a gift card, candy, jewelry, etc. and close the Mini Pizza Box.
Cut a 20" piece of Old Olive 3/8" Mini Chevron Ribbon.
Wrap the ribbon around the center of the box and tie in a knot on the left side. Trim the ends.

Wrap the ribbon around the center of the box and tie in a knot on the left side. Trim the ends.
Mount the "I'm Lucky ..." sentiment from the Charming Cafe Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Old Olive Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the remaining Soft Sky rectangle.
Pick out the label framelit from the Lots of Labels Framelits that cuts out a label that is 1-3/4" wide. Place the stamped sentiment rectangle on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the label framelit on top so the sentiment is centered. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Use the side of the brush tip of the regular Old Olive Marker to ink up the edges of the label.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the label to the top of the Mini Pizza Box so it is centered over the ribbon.
Use SNAIL to adhere the cut out flower and leaves to the lower right side of the label.
Carefully remove two large Old Olive circles from a sheet of Glitter Enamel Dots making sure you get the adhesive as well. Adhere one to the bump on the left side of the label and the other to the center of the flower.
