Paper: Solar White (Neenah)
Ink: Onyx Black (VersaFine), Peeled Paint Distress (Ranger)
Accessories: Sparkle Sheer Shimmer Spritz (Tsukineko), glue gun, splat mat (Darice), Mod Podge, White 1/4" Silk Ribbon (May Arts), Bow-Easy Tool, 1/5" White Netting, String Beads Pearlized (Really Reasonable Ribbon), adhesive pearls, Diamond Stickles (Ranger), 3.75" White Gift Box (Michaels), mineral spirits, Prismacolor Pencils: Clay Rose, Rosy Beige, Black Cherry.

Instructions: Measure your pre-made box and trim the designer papers to fit each side of the box and lid both inside and out. For my box, I used the 12" x 12" sheet with roses in each of the 4 corners. I trimmed each corner, inked the edges with Peeled Paint Ink and glued to the box using Mod Podge. Use coordinating papers for the box inside, lid inside and sides using same process. For the top of the lid, I used the card front in the designer paper that matches the 12" x 12" image in a smaller version (3 5/8" square) and added it using same process. Die cut the Raindrops on Roses Die lattice piece with white card stock and glue to the lid top.

Stamp the Majestic Morning Background on Solar White with Onyx Black and color with pencils and mineral spirits. I used 9 of the 12 flowers for mine (2 of the smallest and 1 each of the next 7 sizes) to create 3 separate flowers in different sizes. Use the mat and tool kit to shape the flowers and glue them together using a glue gun for extra hold. Stamp 2 of the Classic Leaf open stems on Solar White using Onyx Black, die cut with Class Leaf Die and ink with Peeled Paint. Shape and pinch leaves with your fingers. Add stems and flowers to lid as pictured using glue gun. Add string beads, netting piece (tie across middle with string to form a fake bow) and a multi-loop bow using glue gun. Add adhesive pearls, stickles as desired. Spray with Sparkle Shimmer Spritz as desired.

Heartfelt Creations - Sweet Juliet Heart Box

Happy Wednesday!  It's time for a little inspiration from Heartfelt Creations!  This week I have a mini paper mache heart box that I decorated using the new Sweet Juliet Collection of papers and dies.

Here's another view...

and another view from the side...

This box was super easy to decorate and makes a really cute gift box!  I fully intended to make a little notecard to go with this, but moving this past month has totally taken away any sense of normalcy in my craft room and I just plain forgot!  The good news is I now have a real craft room!  It has a door and everything!  I've been very busy unpacking everything and putting together storage cubes to organize everything, but it's almost done.  I can't wait to sit down and actually start creating again!

Thank you for stopping by today!  Be sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog to check out all the beautiful creations by the designers this week!  Also, voting for the new designers ends on the 18th.  If you haven't voted yet, here is the link for it.  I would love to be able to continue on the design team the next 6 months, but I can only stay on the team if I have enough votes!

Heartfelt Creations - One Sheet Wonder Cards & Box

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Today I have a fun gift idea using Heartfelt Creations designer papers, stamps and dies!  A while back I created a "one sheet wonder" for a 6" x 6" piece of pattern paper.  I loved how it came out, so I decided to do one with HC's beautiful papers!  Here are the 6 cards I made.

Click on photo for a closer view

I love how these all coordinate together, it makes such a pretty gift!  I also made a gift box to go with these using HC's stamps.

If you're not familiar with "one sheet wonders", basically you use a piece of designer paper (or make your own), cut it into pieces using a pattern and make cards with the pieces.  I made the pattern for these and posted it in February on this post here  if you would like to read more about it or try making one yourself for a gift!

For lots more inspiration, please visit the Heartfelt Creations' Blog to see what all the talented designers have created for you this week!

Heartfelt Creations - Gift Box & Card

***This is my second post for today...if you are looking for my CottageCutz card, please see post below this!  Thank you!***

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Today I have a gift box and card set to show you!  Here is the card...

(Click on the photo for a closer look)

the box...

the other side of the box...

The flowers were all done by coloring with pencils on black cardstock using white embossing powder for the image.  I was playing around the other day with my pencils and decided to try coloring on black using white pencil as a base.  I love the way this came out with this bright teal color, so striking with the white!

The gift box is made by using the Gift Ensemble Die, cutting 4 pieces and gluing the sides together.  (You can see more about this in the video and the HC Blog.)  I decorated the sides of the box coloring on black as I did with the flowers.

For lots more inspiration, please visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog to see all the designers gorgeous creations this week!

Graphic 45 Baby Gift Set

Hi there!

Today I have a baby gift emsemble that I have been working on to give to a dear friend.  There is a tri-shutter card, chipboard mini album, and matching gift box to hold the album.  These are made with the Graphic 45 Little Darlings Papers and Chipboard Tags.  (You can click on the photos for a closer look.)




The card is made using the tri-shutter tutorial on SCS here. 

The mini album was created based on the Little Darlings Mini Album Project Sheet on the Graphic 45 Website here.  The base for the album is just an inexpensive chipboard album from Michaels that measures 5" x 6 1/2".  Here is the front cover decorated with the papers, chipboard tag, and lots of ribbons and trims:

Here are the inside pages which show the pockets for tags, photos, and/or journalling.  I made die cut pieces in different shapes and added some chipboard tags and cute photos taken from the papers.

 

 

 

 

 

The back cover:

This is the gift box I created for the album to be kept in.  I used a basic box making technique, adjusting measurements to fit the album.  This shows the box closed up with the ribbon on it that slides off.

This shows the box without the ribbon on it.

Products used:

Stamps: God's Blessings (Stampin' Up)
Paper: Little Darlings Collection (Graphic 45), Natural White (Neenah), Baja Breeze (SU), Coral (DCWV), Dark Caribbean Coral (Color Mates)
Ink: Vintage Photo Distress Ink (Ranger)

One Sheet Wonder 8x8 - Box

One Sheet Wonder 8 x 8 Boxes:

The box I used for the One Sheet Wonder 8x8 is the "A2 Card Box" by Beate, located in the Resources/tutorials section on Split Coast Stampers here.

To increase the size of the box to accomodate 9 cards and envelopes, I adjusted it so I could still use 8 1/2 x 11 paper. It could be a little bigger, but I think it works out good. The measurements I used are:

Box base: 8 1/2" x 9 3/4" piece of cardstock
Box lid: 7 1/4" x 8 1/2" piece of cardstock

In step 1 of the tutorial, score at 1 7/8" instead of 1 1/2" for the base.
In step 7 of the tutorial, score at 1 3/16" instead of 1" for the lid.

The remaining instructions would all be the same. Hope this helps!

Kathy
