Tuesday Tutorial~Ooooh Spooky Trick or Treat box!

Hello Stampers!
I have another fun Halloween project for you.  Not really all that spooky, I actually think the cat is cute!

I am so loving the Spooky Night Designers Series Paper!  I used the Cat Punch to punch it out along with a a piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock with the new Everyday Label Punch.  Classic Label punch was used to punch out the sentiment from the new Spooky Cat photopolymer stamp set.  Also, a Black Rhinestone Jewel was added.

Tutorial:
Cut your paper choice to 9"x5 1/2"
score with the 5 1/2" side on the top of your score board at 1" on both sides.
Turn so the 9" side is on the top of the score board and score it at 1" and 4" on both sides also.  Fold your score marks and cut the 1" bits and fold inwards.  I used Fast Fuse to adhere the project.

This is a pretty large box, it holds quit a bit of candy.  I am thinking I could even put cookies in there, about 2 regular size homemade cookies would fit.  What a fun treat that would be to give someone, not just for Halloween either!

Thank you for joining me today!
Happy Stampin'!

Paper Pumpkin September Kit

Hello my crafty friends!

If you are not a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, you may want to think about joining!  This last month's kit was so adorable!  I LOVED IT!!  As a subscriber you can purchase refill kits!

I wanted to order the refill kits so I could create some other fun projects.

I had so much fun making this test tube holders! I made these up for my kids, I forgot to take pictures with the Halloween Night Baker's Twine tied around them.  Oops!

I got started making up some for Thanksgiving and Christmas too!  I am still working on the Christmas sentiment that I want to put on them so I didn't take a picture of those yet. I thought the Acorny Thank You photopolymer set is perfect for fall/Thanksgiving sentiment.

Thank you for joining me today.
If you have any questions about this or any other projects please let me know!

Self Closing Box~ A great Labor Day Project!

Hello my crafty friends!  I have a fun project for you to try!  You have probably seen it on Pinterest or online somewhere.

It is not hard, but it does have several steps.

You will need a piece of card stock that measures 6" x 8 1/2"  and if you like to use DSP (Designer Series Paper) on the outside that paper will measure a square 3 3/4 x 3 3/4, you'll need two of these.  I used Cherry On Top DSP and Bermuda Bay card stock.

Next you'll take your paper on the 8 1/2" side and score it at 4" and 8" turn and score it at 1" and 5".

Fold all your score marks and cut the two small bits on the 1/2 inch piece and cut each score mark on the bottom.

On the 1" score mark side up, (which is the bottom of your box) mark and score from each score mark diagonal to the bottom score mark. (DO NOT GO TO THE BOTTOM OF PAPER)  Like the picture shows.

Again fold these score marks.

Now you are ready to put your DSP on!  To cut them so they fit simply cut them in half corner to corner.  The trick is, to cut one of them on the opposite side you want up so it fits correctly.  Only one you do this way.  Use Tombow Liquid glue to adhere to the card stock.

So it looks like this, next stick Fast Fuse on the the 1/2 inch side and fold shut.  Also use Fast Fuse on the bottom.

If done correctly it will look like this.  You can squeeze the two sides and it will open, you don't need anything to close it!  How fun is that?!

Perfect Candy Bar Box

Hi my crafty friends!
The project I am sharing with you today was a total accident.  LOL, I guess a true crafter should never say 'accident' but more like a work of art!  LOL  
I was making up little boxes of one size, (one that will share with you later) and got my numbers all mixed up and ended up making this little cutie instead. 

Box Recipe:
Card Stock size 8x8  (I used Pink Pirouette)
SCORE this at 1", 3 1/2", 4 1/2" and 7" turn and then score at 1" and 7"
CUT on the 1 inch score marks on the two ends.
FOLD all your score marks then use FAST FUSE on all the squares and fold up.

For the layers you will need  two 5 3/4" x 2 1/4", two 3/4" x5 3/4", and two 3/4" 2 1/4"  I used DSP Brights collection Rich Razzleberry.

Stamp Set: Petal Potpourri stamped in Rich Razzleberry and Daffodil Delight. Then punched it out  with Flower Medallion Punch.  I made the leaves with the Build a Bird punch in Wild Wasabi.

I love the size of this box because a Hershey's candy bar fits perfectly inside!  You could give a couple of them in fact! 
If you have any questions please let me know!

Homecoming Treat Boxes!

Hi Stampers! 
I had to share this with you!  My eight year old daughter and I were playing around with some scrap paper and we came up with this box, but it's more than just a box! 
We decided to make it a fun little treat box for Homecoming/spirit week at school. 
What you need is a sheet of paper, I used DSP Witches Brew because our school colors are black and orange, cut at 8 1/4" x 3".
-Next the 8 1/4 inch side on the top of your score board, score at 3/4, 3 3/4, 4 1/2, and 7 1/2 inches. Turn and score at 3/4 inch, turn the paper to the opposite side of the last score mark and score again at 3/4".   
-Fold on the score marks and on the 3/4" side you will cut all the lines up to the 3/4" on both sides.
-Decide which end of your box will be the top and using the 3/4" circle punch put a 1/2 circle notch on the end for an easy opening.
-Using Tombo glue, Fast Fuse, or Sticky Strip put your box together.  Placing adhesive on the 3/4" 'squares' fold up your bottom first and then the top.  That's it!  How fun was that?  If you aren't sure how to put it together you can watch my YouTube video HERE.
-The stamp set I used was the Playful Pennants #134288
-Punch used Petite Pennants Builder #122361

Sweet Valentine Treat Box!

 Hi stampers!
Hope my little blog note finds you all in good health!  I know the nasty flu bug is going around my town!  It's no fun when your kids and then you get it, yuck! 

Let's get to the fun part!  I love making boxes and these are two boxes I made using what's called a "A2 Card Box".  

The products I used are as follows:
-Real Red and Whisper White Stampin' UP card stock. 
-Deco Labels Framelits
-Fashionable Hearts Embosslits
-Sticky Strip
and then a Non Stampin' UP but is a Sizzix product is the "Triple Heart" Sizzix die I like it too much not to use it as a sample! 
I also left the white part of the label on the  box white because I was not sure who I wanted to give it to yet.

New Year Kisses!

 Hi Crafty Friends!!

I had to share with you what we are handing out for our New Year's Eve party!
 New Year's KISSES! 

These adorable little boxes hold a single Hersey's Kiss.  Which on the strike of midnight you get to open it up and have a sweet kiss!

Here is what you need to make this adorable box!


A piece of DSP, which I used WINTER FROST (hurry if you want some the sale on this paper ends January 3rd!)
 Cut at 3x5 and on the 3 inch size score it at 1 and 2 inches.
Next turn it and score it at 1, 2, 3, and 4 inches. 
Fold on the score marks and then cut up to the one inch score marks on the 5 inch side.  Then starting with the center of the box fold and glue as you fold your box together.  Before you do the lid you want to use the 3/4 inch punch and make a small notch for the opening spot. 

There ya have it!  So stinkin' cute!
