EASEL CARD TOPPED BOX

 

I created this project using papers from the Graphic 45 collection called 'Let It Bee'.  It is a  6'' x  6'' x  1 1/2'' box topped with an easel card.  


The easel card is held in place by three layers of patterned paper .  I made the large rose using the  'Tattered Floral' die by Tim Holtz.  The smaller roses that cluster around it are made with an ek floral punch.  Very small. They measure one inch.


                                                         Inside the box is a photo album.  
 

This is the backside of the easel card.


                                            The photo album stretches out to twelve inches.

There is a video of this project on my YouTube Channel..

SEASCAPE FUN FOLD CARD

 


 I was inspired to create my own version of this 'Fun Fold Card' after watching a tutorial by Terri Walker.  It measures  4'' x  6''.  Front flap is held together with a small magnet.


                                            The card opens to reveal the sentiment section. Patterned paper is from a digital kit from Etsy called 'Whimsical Seascape'.


Lighthouse and seagull ephemera is from clip art on the internet.  I brought them into Photoshop for sizing then fussy cut them out.


                                   

                           HERE is a YouTube video if you would like to make one yourself.

MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE

 


I created this 'Message in a Bottle' free standing table decoration by using 100 lb cardstock.  For the bottle I used a bottle shaped die. I glued two together for front and back for strength.   It measures  3 1/2" x  9" x  1 1/2".  I used my Scan-n-Cut machine to cut out the different layers and tags.
  

Background papers are from a kit called 'Nautical Junk Journal' by Etsy designer Veriepear.

The hidden drawer on the side can be pushed out and filled with treasures.  There is a video on my YouTube channel to make the drawer.  Please see 'Flip Top Box' and follow the directions for inside box.

EASTER GIFT BOX

 


I used 100 lb white cardstock to create this little 'Easter Gift Box".  It measures  5 1/2'' x  3 1/2'' and is 1 1/2'' deep.  Background papers are scrapes from my stash.  


Here's a side view.  The grass is cut from a die made by the Alina Craft Company. I put shredded paper inside the box and will fill with candies.

I made a template of the images and fussy cut them out.  The bunny and eggs are from clip art on the internet.  I designed the sentiment for the background and cut it out with an oval die.

If you would like to make some of your own, I have a video on my YouTube channel.  Here is a LINK:

Valentine theme is made the exact same way as the floral one.   Penguin is from clip art on the internet.
