APRON BOX - Tutorial

I created this 'Apron Box' using the Bigz XL Die from Sizzix.  It measures 4" x  5 1/4".  

Cookies in the pocket are double sided and mounted on toothpicks.

                        Begin by removing tabs from one of the bottom/side pieces as shown.

     Using score tape, adhere the newly trimmed portion of the side/bottom piece between the same tabs of the other.  Then flip entire piece over and lay on work surface.  Now the front surfaces are facing up.

     Adhere the long flat edges of the front and back Apron pieces to the tabs of the bottom.

     

                                          Using pattern templates, cut out Apron pieces.  

                                                       Adhere Apron pieces to box.

                                 Then fold box up.  All tabs will adhere on the inside of box.

Adhere pocket to front.  Put cookies inside pocket and stuff with recipe cards.  Add jute for handles and a bow for color.

Here's the back.

That's all there is to it!

WATERFALL FOLIO

     I created this 'Waterfall Folio' using papers from my stash.  Most of them are from 'Ole Curiosity Shoppe' from Graphic 45.  I chose an abstract design and added small flowers using an 'ek' flower punch.  The center beads are Perla beads that I melted down.

  

     The folio measures 4 1/2" x  8 1/2" with a 3/4" spine.  This is the inside.  The giraffe's are fussy cut from an image I found on the internet and mounted on cardstock.  The tutorial I used is by Ginger at 'My Sister's Scrapper' and can be found HERE.

      Here is the folio with the waterfall section opened up.  All patterned edges are burnished with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink by Tim Holtz.  The med sized tags are made with a die from Graphic 45.

                                              Here's the back and a little of the spine.

ARTIST TRADING COINS

I created these 'Artist Trading Coins' for the March challenge at Frilly and Funky.  They measure 2 1/2" in diameter and about 1 1/2" tall.  Challenge can be found HERE.

'Love Nature' is made with scraps from my stash.  Punch is 2 1/2" scalloped punch by EK.  Bees are fussy cut clip art mounted on wires.  Flowers are made using TinyTattered Floral dies from Tim Holtz.  

I glued a piece of styrofoam onto base to get some height for the flowers.

Using the same base I mounted a rose made from Tattered Florals by Tim Holtz and added two small ceramic birds.

GIRAFFE

This giraffe is the first animal in 'My Menagerie'.  It is about 7"x 1 3/4".  Made of cardstock and mounted on a slab of chipboard that measures 1 1/2" x 3".

I found the giraffe on line and brought it into Elements 15 for coloring and sizing.  After cutting it out I mounted it on the chipboard and attached the wheels.

I used Tattered Florals dies by Tim Holtz for grass.

SLIDE AND POP DRAW BOX

I created this 'pop up' slide box using scraps left over from 'Curiosity Shop' collection from Graphic 45.  I placed pop dots under the fancy cut images to make them stand out better. 

I am entering it in the Frilly and Funkie January Challenge for a chance to win $25 for a shopping spree at the 'Funkie Junkie Boutique'!

You can visit their blog HERE.

This is the box with the tray pulled out.

The box measures 3 1/2" x 7 1/2" and is 1/2" deep.  The instructions that I followed were from Sam at 'mixedupcraft.com' and can be found HERE.

This is the backside.

This is a second box I made as a 'Feel Better' gift for my friend who just had knee replacement surgery.  I put a large candy bar inside.

I used the same scraps from my stash.

Here it is opened up with sentiment showing.

And here's the back.
