STORAGE ENVELOPE

I designed this 'Storage Envelope' to hold recipe cards.  It measures about  4 1/2'' x  6 1/2'' x  1'.  I used standard weight cardstock in bright colors.  The background papers are from a kit call 'Home Sweet Home' by Graphic 45. 

                             

The funky cartoon chickens are from a kit by Etsy designer 'Digital Artwork Co.' 


                                             The recipe holder on the inside is removeable.

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:

PRISM GIFT BOX


I originally saw this 'Prism Gift Box' on The Paper Pixie.  It measures about 3'' x  3''.  The basket and the background papers came off the internet.  The little white flowers are from a punch and I put a little rhinestone in the middle.


This is the back.  The floral pieces are from a Sizzix die set by Tim Holtz #662270.


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


Here's the back of the third in the series.  


Background papers and stars are from a digital kit called 'He's The Man' by Veronica Spriggs.

FAUX WOOD GIFT CRATE

 



This 'Faux Wood Gift Crate' is made from a sturdy double strength cardstock.  It measures about  4 1/2'' x  6 1/2'' and is  4'' deep.  The box was originally created by Sam Calcott at 'Mixed Up Craft'.  I filled it with shredded paper.  The sunflowers are from a digital kit by Etsy designer Laurie Furnell.  I enlarged them and attached them on a wire and put them in a seedling pot in one of the corners. 


This is the view from the back.  All the flowers are double sided.

SHADOW BOX TUNNEL CARD


I originally saw this large  8'' x  8'' Tunnel Card on Sam Calcott's blog.  I was inspired to make one of my own.


This is a view of the side.  The birds are from clip art on the internet.  Flowers are made with a mix of tiny silk flowers and a floral die.  Lady bugs are from Ephemera Collection.

COUNTRY GARDEN BOX

 


             This Country Garden Box measures about  5'' x  5 1/2''.  I made three inch windows on the sides with a circle die.  Butterflies are mounted on clear pieces of acetate. 


The grass is cut from a die set.  Bees are from my Ephemera Collection.


                                To make these giant flowers on the top I used a die from Tiny Tattered Florals by Tim Holtz.  I brought them into my Scan-n-Cut machine and enlarged them to four inches.  Leaves are a die.
