TOWER-N-STEP BOX

This project is called a 'Tower-n-Step' box.  It measures 3" x  8" including the little bunny on top.  Cynthia at The Scrappy Bookworm is where I first saw this box.  You can find that tutorial HERE.

Her tutorial was done using a Halloween theme.  I wanted to design my box as more of a Springtime theme.  I used a digital kit called 'Dreamin Of Daisies' by Karen at Snickerdoodle Designs for the background panels.  It is now retired.  The other elements and characters came from clip art on the internet.

These are the panels that go together to make the outside of box.

This is what the inside looks like.

Here's a close up of the top.

LITTLE PIN CUSHION

I designed this fancy pin cushion as my entry to 'The Funkie Junkie Boutique' March challenge called 'Little Things'.  You can get more information at The Funkie Junkie Boutique Blog HERE.

A friend of mine had made me this darling 'little' pin cushion to hold my special stainless steel pins.  It measures about 1 1/2" wide and 1 1/4" high.  She used a simple orange juice lid for the base.  Very clever.

So I collected some of my favorite scrape papers along with an old wooden spool of thread and started putting all the 'little' objects together.  

Here's another view of the pin cushion.  Final height is 3" glued to a 3 1/4" base.

FLIP TOP BOX with GIFT BAG

I created this 'Flip Top Box' with a matching 'Gift bag' using a couple different tutorials. Both are tutorials by Sherry at 'The Posh Paper Lady'. The first I used to make the flip box.  It measures about 4" x  4 1/2".  The video is available HERE.  The video for the gift bag is HERE.

I followed Sherry's directions for the measurements but wanted to create my own designs.  I made templates in Photoshop Elements and cut them all out.

The background and elements used came from a digital kit by Lori Davidson called 'Flying Dreams Storybook Collection'.  This is the cover of the box.

This is the box spine.

Here is the back of the box.

This is a pic of the box opened up.  All the papers used for the box were two sided.  Designer unknown.
