If you've followed me for any amount of time you know that I love critter sets and I love when there's puns to go with them. The Thoughtful Octopus Set checks both of those boxes. The only think that would make this set better is dies. Yes unfortunately, there are no dies for this stamp set, but that's not going to stop us from making adorable projects right?! We have plenty of shape dies we can use, or if you're feeling up to it, you can fussy cut it.
I kept my box super simple, the octopus is stamped on a die cut square from the Stylish Shapes Dies and the cardstock layers are stamped with some of the coordinating images from the stamp set. I added a Balmy Blue bow with the Balmy Blue Gingham Ribbon and finished the box with some Sunset Sparkle Sequins.
I made my box in three different colors but used the same color scheme for all three boxes. I love them all! My octopus is stamped in Barely Blush and Highland Heather. Inside my box are some cookies. I found these summer/ocean themed ones at Target. They're perfect to coordinate with this stamp set.
