GIANT PAPER PUMPKIN

 

I was inspired to make my own 'Giant Paper Pumpkin' after seeing a video in Mrs. B's Craft Room.  It measures about  7 1/2"  tall by 7" wide.  If you would like to make one HERE is her video.

Here's all the parts I used and the stem.

Here's another view.  The butterflies are from clip art on the internet.

TWIST-n-FOLD CARD

 

I was inspired to make this 'Twist-n-Fold Card' after seeing a video on Mixed Up Craft by Sam Calcott.  It measures  about  6" x  6".

This is the inside with a sentiment for Mother's Day.  White flowers are from a digital kit by Laurie Furnell on Etsy.  Bees are from Clip Art on the internet.

POP-UP BOX CARD

This is a 'Pop-Up Box Card' made from cardstock.  Patterned background papers are from a digital kit by Laurie Furnell at Etsy.  The rest of the ephemera is from clip art on the internet.  I brought it all into Photoshop for sizing and colors.  Box is about 6" tall and 4" wide and can be folded up into a  5" x  7" envelope.

The stars and hearts are attached to long pieces of clear plastic.  The other end is attached to the sections on the inside of the box.

BIG BOW GIFT BOX

I was inspired to make this 'Gift Box' after seeing a tutorial by Sam Calcott.  I used Graphic 45 cardstock.  Top and bottom are reinforced for sturdiness.  I used a 3" scalloped circle die to make windows on all four sides.  I attached clear acetate on the inside.  I then mounted three dimensional  butterflies on the outside.  It measures 5" x  5 1/2".

Here's a close up of the 'Big Bow'.  It is made of stripes of patterned cardstock with a silk flower in the center.  I also attached two bows and some greenery.

  The bottom of the box is lined with patterned paper and reinforced with light weight chip board.

CARD AND TREAT BOX

This 'Card and Treat Box' is made using cardstock.  It measures  4'' x  4" and is 1" deep.       

I chose the ocean theme photo from some of my favorites in my stash.  Artist unknown.

        When the card is opened it shows this sentiment on one side with room on the other for writing or photos.  

The drawer pulls out to reveal another seagull.

I have attached round black wooden beads on the bottom.
