It''s Christmas in July!

Today I am sharing a Christmas Mitten Box from My Scrap Chick.

MATERIALS

 Mitten Box  pattern from My Scrap Chick

Old World Winter Stack from the Paper Studio

8 inches of ivory flower trim

5 inches of .5 inch Christmas ribbon

small red gems

3 small flowers

craft glue and glue dots

6 inches of red/white twine

I used the Old World Winter Stack from the Paper Studio for my box. I enlarged the file to 11.5 inches.

 I added ivory trim to the top and bottom of the mitten band. Then a strip of Christmas ribbon was added across the middle of the band. Red gems were added around the mitten and the heart. The heart was added to the center of the mitten, then a sentiment cut from one of the papers was added to the bottom left of the heart. A twine bow was attached to the right side of the heart with a small glue dot. Two gold flowers were added to the top of the heart with large glue dots and an ivory flower was added to the center of the mitten band.

This box would be great for all those Christmas goodies.

Merry Christmas in July!

Heart Box with 3D Bow

 Valentines Day will be here before we know it. Today a made a Heart Shaped Box with a 3-D Bow. Bits of lace and some gems made the box extra special.

For my box I used PCD Heart Box With 3D Bow from My Scrap Chick.

MATERIALS

Box bottom: Cricut Corrugated Cardstock, yellow cardstock

Box top: DCWV Samantha Rose, flowered print

Bow: Colorbok Signature Paper, Modern Millinary, pink polka dot

Yellow/white gathered lace

Yellow gems

Tacky glue & hot glue

brad

Using Tacky Glue, construct the box bottom and lid. The bow gave me the most trouble.

Make a loop with the smallest piece and put the brad through the lined up holes. (I cut the bow from double sided cardstock.)

Take the shorter strips, loop them together as shown and slip them over the brad.

Do the same with the longer strips.

Finally add the large X shaped piece.

Carefully holding all the pieces together, slip the brad into the hole in the lid and secure.

Using hot glue, I attached the lace to the side of the box lid lining the edge of the lace up to the top of the lid. I went from the bottom to the top using two pieces of lace.

Finally, I added yellow gems along the edge of the lace, one row on the side and one row along the top of the lid.

Now I can hide all kinds of Valentine goodies inside my beautiful Heart Box.

Have a great day my crafty friends!

Witch Shoes

Hi! Sorry I've been MIA for awhile. My son and his family have been building a house and everything has been going wrong. Anyway, since tomorrow is Halloween, I figured it was time to make treat boxes for my granddaughters.

For my witch shoes I used CG_Witch Shoe Box from My Scrap Chick.

I enlarged the file slightly and followed the included PDF instructions on how to put the shoes together. It was very easy to do. I used the Spooky Delight stack by DCWV for my shoes. I also used scraps of orange glitter cardstock for the buttons and gold glossy cardstock for the buckle. I inked all the edges with black ink. The finished shoe measures 6.5 inches long by 5 inches tall. 

I think my granddaughters will love them. It's a quick project, so there is still plenty of time to make one or two Witch Shoe Boxes for your little witches and goblins. 

Thanks for looking. Happy Halloween!

Star Box

Today in preparation for the 4th of July, I played with the Star Box Trio file from My Scrap Chick. I used the small and medium boxes. I used papers from these paper stacks:

Vintage Nation by the Paper Studio

Americana Designer Paper by COLORBOK

When gluing the boxes together make sure the corners with the deeply cut corners are folded into mountain folds and used as the outside points of the boxes and lids.

Medium Box

Small Box

If you put the layers of the topper together with foam tape you will get a 3-D effect.

I hope you liked my Star Boxes!

Happy Fourth of July!

Boy's Onesie Gift Box Set

A dear friend of mine recently gave birth to a sweet little baby boy and I knew that I had to make her this adorable gift box and card set.

I used Onesie Gift Box-Boy for the gift box and Onesie Overalls Flat Fold Card for the gift card. Both files are from My Scrap Chick.

          

 The box was sized so it fit on a 24 inch mat. I used tagboard for the box and the Nursery Rhyme Glitter Stack from Debbie Munn for the prints.The green dotted glitter cardstock is from Uptown Flair by the Paper Studio. I used real buttons as accents.

        

For the card I used Stampin Up Cardstock for the card base and the same cardstock stacks as for the box.  Again I used real buttons for accents.

I hope you liked my little boy gift box set. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Valentines Day Puffy Heart Box

I fell in love with this Puffy Heart Candy Box  from My Scrap Chick and knew I needed to make one for my granddaughter.

Here are the files I used.

I used cardstock from "Uptown Flair Glitter Stack" by the paper studio  for my box.   I decided to make a double bow for my box. I simply stacked a smaller bow on top of a larger one.

           

I decided to put a cute Cupid's Cloud image on the back of my box. I started by duplicating the heart mat and making it slightly smaller, then attached the image to it.

I colored the image with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and added accents with gel pens and a glitter pen.

                                                                       

This is how the finished box looks from the side.

This was such a fun, easy project, and I love how it turned out!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Polar Christmas Bear Cocoa Holder

Hi! Winter will be here soon! Time for some yummy cocoa! Today I am sharing a cute double cocoa holder.

For my cocoa holder I used the adorable New Release image from Little Blue Button Stamps, Polar Christmas Bear. The New Releases can be found here:  http://lbbstamps.com/product-category/new-releases/

I made the cocoa holder in design space. You can find the file in the Cricut Community under Cocoa/Tea Holder.

Here is the open holder showing the two pockets for the cocoa packets.

Here is the holder from the side.

I used snowflake patterned cardstock from my stash for the mats. Red cardstock from Recollections was used for the holder and the double mats.

I colored my image with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and accented with gel pens. I added snowflake sequins to the background and small seed beads on the Christmas tree.

As a last step I punched two holes through all the layers 2 inches in from each side, then tied the holder shut with blue Christmas ribbon.

I hope you enjoyed my project. Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great, crafty day!

It's Pumpkin Time

HI!

It's pumpkin time!

Today I am sharing a pair of pumpkin boxes made with the My Scrap Chick file Fall Pumpkin Box.

Materials

Fall Pumpkin Box file by My Scrap Chick

Patterned cardstock from "Old World Stack" by DCWV

brown cardstock by recollections

green lanyard

green and orange twine from Dollar Tree

dark orange leaf ribbon from Dollar Tree

Glue Dots and glue

The pumpkins go together quickly and easily.  I enlarged them to about 6 inches tall. I inked all the edges with orange ink. I added the dark orange leaf ribbon to the bottom edge of the top half of the pumpkin using a combination of glue and small glue dots.

For the top of the pumpkin, I first attached the stem using glue and a large glue dot. Then I inked and shaped the leaves, and glued them down around the stem. I tied a bow around the stem using about a foot each of orange and green twine. The last step was adding the vines.  These were made from green lanyard.

I wrapped the lanyard snugly around a pen and taped the end in place. I then left it in front of a heat source for a few minutes. (I put mine in front of a portable heater.) After it cooled, I unwrapped it and cut it into lengths about 4 to 5 inches long. Using small glue dots, I attached one end behind the stem.

And then this is the finished Fall Pumpkin Box! These will be used for Halloween treat boxes for my granddaughters.

These were so quick and easy to make! 

Thanks for stopping by! 

Happy crafting!
