Valentine Fairy Bear Booty Box

Valentines Day will be here before we know it, so it's time to get those projects for our loved ones finished.

I created this adorable booty box using the following files from My Scrap Chick.

The bear as made from tan pearlescent cardstock and the cheeks, flowers, collar and large wing was made with the pink pearlescent cardstock. The belly, flower, small wing and flower centers were made from pink glitter paper. The flower base was made from green glitter cardstock. All pieces were accented with coordinating inking around the edges. The gems were added to the collar. The finished box is about 6.5 inches tall and wide.

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!

Roasting S'mores Kit

Even though the stores are full of "Back to School" displays there is still plenty of time to go camping and make some s'mores over the campfire. DT Shirley here sharing a cute little S'mores Kit containg everything needed to make two s'mores.

I used the adorable "Roasting S'mores Skunks" file to decorate my box.

Materials

"Roasting S'mores Skunks" svg file

Gable Box svg file from My Scrap Chick

Paper is "Summertime Stripe" from the Happy Campers Collection by Doodlebug Designs Inc. Other papers from my stash.

Acetate cut to 2 1/2 by 3 inches

small hole punch

6 inch piece of twine

Glue, glue dots or tape and foam tape

S'mores ingredients, of course!

The box measures 4 1/2 by 3 3/8 inches, just large enough for the ingredients for two s'mores. I used the slice feature in design space to create the frame around the box window.

The skunk is 2 1/4 inches tall and is attached with foam tape. The s'more tag is about 1 1/2 inches. I punched a small hole on the right side and attached it to the side with twine. For the title I sized it to 3 inches wide, then trimmed  the word 'Roasting' off.

I filled a sandwich bag with two small Hershey bars, two marshmallows and two chocolate graham crackers. A few of these would make a great addition to your next camping trip! Enjoy! 

 

Flower Skunk Spare Toilet Tissue Holder

   Hi! Today I'd like to share something a little different with you.

A cute little skunk toilet tissue holder!

MATERIALS

For my tissue holder I used the following files:

CK Flower Skunk from KaDoodleBug Designs which can be found here:

Full Cup Treat Cup from My Scrap Chick

Cardstock/Papers: 
I made the holder and skunk bases from white heavy tagboard for stability. The mats on the holder base are Friendly Forest" from Doodlebug Design Inc. The cardstock is from my stash.

Acc./Embellishments:
2 1/2 inch yellow daisies (source unknown)
5/8 inch black with white trim decorative ribbon by Waverly
3/8 inch black and white checked ribbon by Textured Trios
6 orange gems
 Glue, tape runner, foam tape
Ink for accents on paper piecings
White gel pen (Jelly Roll)

I started by using the tagboard to cut the Full Cup Treat Cup so the bottom diameter was 5 1/2 inches. I needed the longer mat for this. I glued it together so the handle was on the inside, then glued the handle flat against the inside. The mats on the cup were cut from the "Friendly Forest" so all the stripes matched. These were glued to the sides so the stripes match. The 5/8 inch black ribbon was wrapped around the middle of the holder and glued in the front. (This seam will be hidden by the skunk.) A yellow daisy was glued to the center of each side and an orange gem was added to the center of each flower. 

The skunk was cut at 5 inches. The base layer was cut from tagboard for extra strength. I inked the pieces with coordinating inks before putting it together. When the skunk was assembled I added accents with the white gel pen. The skunk was attached to the holder with lots of foam tape.

The toilet tissue was put in a clear plastic bag and tied with the 3/8 inch checked ribbon before being put in the holder. 

This would make a perfect spare toilet tissue holder for a cottage of camper. I hope you liked my project today. I would love to know what you think. Thanks for stopping by! ~ Shirley
