FLIP LID GIFT BOX

 


  There's something about boxes that I can't resist.  I had to make my own version of Sam Calcott's 'Flip Lid Gift Box'.  It measures  8 1/2'' x  5''.  Medalion is made from Kraft paper mounted on chip board for strength.  Floral center is a group of flowers made using 'Tattered Floral' dies by Tim Holtz.  Box is topped off with a brass handle.

                                                         

                                                       Lid tilts back for access to inside.  Patterned paper is from an unknown collection of Graphic 45.


Here is the back.


...and there you have it.  Thanks for stopping by...







SHUTTER CARD

 

I designed this card using standard weight cardstock.  I was inspired to make this card after seeing a video by Lisa Curio.  I used Steampunk ephemera for my theme.  Background papers are from a G45 kit called 'Curiouser and Curiouser'.


Ephemera is from clip art on the internet as well as Creative Fabricia.


                                              Plenty of room on the back for a sentiment.

BOOK STYLE TEA BAG HOLDER


 To make this 'Tea Bag Holder' I started with making a simple album.  It measures  3 1/2" x 4" and has a  1/1/2" spine.  Inside the album are two layers of flip-top pockets that hold the tea bags.  Sherry at  'The Posh Paper Lady' is the one who designed these very clever pockets.

I used a clip art kit from Etsy called 'Quirky Whimsey Tea Pots and Tea Cups'.  The additional ephemera came from my stash. 


                                                                Here's the back cover.

TOWER PILLAR CARD

 


I created this 'Tower Pillar Card' using standard 65lb cardstock.  Butterfly's and flowers are from my Ephemera collection.  Large Happy Birthday die connects the pillars.  


Measurements are from a Sam Calcott video.  This is the back.  Card measures  6" x  6" and folds flat to fit in an envelope.



...and there you have it.  Thanks for stopping by...

BUNNY KISSES WATERFALL CARD

 


I also made a 'Waterfall Card' for Easter.  All the measurements are the same as the 'Valentine' card.


The 'Easter Bunny Clipart' is from Etsy designer 'Whimsical Graphics'.


HERE is my YouTube Channel if you would like to make one too.

VALENTINE WATERFALL CARD


 I designed this 'Valentine Waterfall Card' using standard 65lb cardstock.  Backgrounds and ephemera came from Creative Fabrica. I used three different font styles:  Chopin Scrip, Georgia and Times New Roman for making the sentiment.


                         Here is the card opened up to show the waterfall.  It measures  5" x  7" and has a  1/4" spine.

Champagne and flutes are from my Cookie Cutter Ephemera.  Fonts are from clip art on the internet.  Background papers are from my stash.


                             Here's the decorated back with lots of room for a sentiment.
