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.

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.

INTERLOCKING ACCORDION FOLD CARD

 

I was inspired to make my own 'Interlocking Accordion Fold Card' after watching a tutorial by Stampin' Up Rep.  Lisa Curio.  You can find that HERE.  The cards are made from regular cardstock.  For this Halloween one I used elements from my stash. 

                   Some of the elements used for the inside are from Etsy designer, Laurie Furnell.  All the cards are  5 1/2" tall and 16" fully opened.

Here's the back.

I used foil papers for the background on the Christmas card.

 

The sentiment reads: May you be filled with the JOY of the season.

Here's the back of the card.

              This 'Fall is in the Air' card was created using elements from Laurie Furnell also.

Here's the inside.

PEEK-a-BOO BOXES

I was inspired to create my own little treat boxes after seeing a tutorial by Angela from 'Stamping With Amore'.  I used clear Acetate sheets and cut them down to size.  Pumpkins are from clip art on the internet.

 

               The little red birds I used on this box are from Etsy designer Laurie Furnell. These boxes measure  2 1/2" x  3 1/4". 

Bees are from clip art on the internet. I brought them into Photoshop for sizing and coloring. 

 

Close up of sentiment attachment.  It is from my stash.  Designer unknown.  Sentiments are all attached with pop-up dots.

I was able to use up a lot of scrap papers from my stash because of the small amount needed for these boxes.

CANDY BOX

 

I was inspired to make my own 'Candy Box'  after seeing a tutorial by 'The Posh Paper Lady' on You Tube.  It measures 7" x  7" and is 1" deep.

The inside is filled with 16 tiny candy cups.  There is a contrasting cardstock for the lid.

The cups are glued to a removable bottom in case you want to fill box with something else.

Floral topping is made with three layers of different colored cardstock using the 'Hinana Lace' die.  I used pop-up dots to attach each layer for more dimension.  Then hot glued two bows made from 3/8" rayon ribbon.

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

POP-UP BOX CARD

I used regular cardstock papers to create this 'Pop-Up Box' card.  I chose a digital kit from Etsy Designer Laurie Furnell for the ephemea pieces and brought them into Photoshop Elements for sizing. I started making these Pop-Up Cards many years ago after seeing a very helpful tutorial by Splitcoast Stampers.  You can find that HERE.

Here's the backside.  Card measures  6"x 7".

At  3" x  5", this handy little Notebook can fit nicely into a purse or pocket.  I was inspired to make my own Notebook after watching a video by Michelle Allen on You Tube.   You can find that video HERE.

 

The flat pen slides right into a pocket on the inside.  The mini pad is refillable.

Flat pen measures 1" x  6".  I added a little eyelash yarn on the top.  I saw these flat pens on a tutorial many years ago and have been making them ever since.  You can find that HERE.

CARD AND GIFT BOX

 

I created this 'Gift and Card Box' using a background sheet from Home Sweet Home papers by Graphic 45.

This is the inside.  This is designed specifically to be a gift and card in one.  The box holds a small bottle of wine.
