Moose Belly Box Silverware Holder

Hi! I'm so excited that it's camping season again! We have a new motor home and I needed something to hold our fancy plastic silverware, so I made this little holder using two of the Moose Belly Box files.

I grouped all the pieces together and enlarged everything so the tallest piece is 11.5 inches. I duplicated the file and flipped it horizontally. I inked all the pieces, then put the boxes together using foam tape on the muzzle and paws so the box has some dimension. I added a divider to each box using a 7 by 3 inch piece of paper. I folded the piece in half and a 1/2 inch flap on each short end. I added glue along the edges and on the flaps then attached one in the center of each box. I glued the two boxes together back to back and clipped them together while they dried. The last step was adding a bow from 5/8 inch ribbon.

This little guy looks so cute on the table in our motor home and will be so easy to carry outside when we eat at the picnic table.

Have a great crafty day and thanks for stopping by!

Queen Bee

My Scrap Chick is having it's first ever Facebook Hop today and tomorrow, so be sure to stop by and check out all the great projects by the Design Team!

The theme of our hop is Spring/ gardening/ Mother's Day.

One sure sign of Spring for me is the reappearance of the honeybees. My project for the hop is a Queen Bee Belly Box and some little worker bees.

I used Bee Belly Box Trio for the box, and the bee from the card for the little bees. The bodies of the little bees are made using the carrot from Carrot Patch Box.

The belly box is 8 inches to the top of the antennas.I used yellow tagboard for the box and bees, white glitter cardstock for the wings and pink glitter cardstock (from COLORBOK) for the noses. I used black and white cardstock from Recollections for the rest. The other cardstock was from my scrap stash. I created an insert for the box that holds the little bees upright in the box. If you make your box a different size, adjust the file to be slightly smaller than the bottom of the box.

  Here is the link to the Design Space file for the box insert:  https://design.cricut.com/#/design/89077526

Check back tomorrow when I will explain how I made the little bees. Thanks for buzzing by.

VALENTINE PICKS

Materials

MSC files found here, and here.

Red, pink and white glitter cardstock by Colorbok
Pearlescent pink cardstock by Recollections
Uptown Flair Glitter Stack by the Paper Studio
Pixy Stix and Peanut Butter Hearts by Palmer (I found both at Dollar Tree)
2 inch heart punch
shish kabob skewers
1/4 inch wide pink ribbon
red glitter heart picks (optional)
Double sided tape, glue
paper clips

I made each pick about 2.5 inches wide, then duplicated each one and flipped it horizontally. I then used a combination of double sided tape and glue to attach a Pixy Stix between the two layers, then held them together with paper clips while they dried.

I used the Rosettes Scallop Edge for the heart candy rosettes. I followed the PDF tutorial included with the file and made each one about 3 inches in diameter. ( You will need two strips at 1.5 inches for each rosette.) I used the heart prints from the Uptown Flair Paper Stack for the rosettes. 

I turned the rosette to the back and glued a 6 inch stick into one of the valleys, then glued a 2 inch punched heart over the hole in the center.

I added double sided tape to the stick one inch from each end, then wrapped 1/4 inch pink ribbon around the stick. I then tied a bow around the top below the rosette.

I turned the rosette over to the front.

I added several strips of double sided tape to the back of the candy heart, then attached it to the center of the rosette.

I added some floral foam to the booty box, then poked the picks into the foam. I also added two red glitter picks to the box.

I love how this Valentine Fairybear Booty Box turned out!

I hope you enjoyed my little project. Have a wonderful Valentines Day!

Party Owls Gift Box Set

I can't believe that my granddaughter is turning 14! They grow up way too fast. Since she loves owls I made her this cute little gift box set using Party Owls from My Scrap Chick.

I used papers from the  Bella Flora paper pad by Craft Smith for the box and papers from my scraps stash for the hat. I duplicated the body and wings and flipped them horizontally for the back of the box. I added googly eyes to the owl and gems to the hat.

I attached the hat to the tag with foam tape and added pink twine. 

                                      (Sorry for the blurry picture.)

Thanks for stopping by. Happy crafting!

Owl and Kitty Belly Boxes

Hi, Today I am sharing two little belly boxes that I made for my granddaughters. One granddaughter is kitty crazy and the other has a thing for owls.

I used Files from My Scrap Chick.

For the Kitty Belly Box I used Black Cat Belly Box Trio    

This belly box is seven inches tall. I made the pumpkin pieces from glitter cardstock and attached the pieces with foam tape to add more dimension. I used one inch googly eyes on my kitty. 

For the owl, I used Owl Gradution Trio and Witch Hat Halloween Treat Box for the hat.

When making the owl, I left out the cap and diploma. The owl box is 5 1/2 inches tall and the hat is six inches tall. I used foam tape again in the construction of the owl,  and also again used googly eyes. The hat was made from glitter cardstock. 

I'm sure my granddaughters will love these belly boxes. They are so easy and fun to make. Thanks for stopping by!
