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.

Fairy Bear Girl Booty Box 

Triple Hearts Card Set

Be Mine Card Set

I Heart You Card Set

XO Hugs and Kisses Card Set

Rosettes Scallop Edge

FAIRY BOOTY BOX

Materials

Fairybear Girl Booty Box

pink, red and white  and green glitter cardstock by Colorbok

tan and pink pearlescent cardstock by Recollections

white and black glossy cardstock scraps

pink heart gems and pink round gems

inks in coordinating colors

black and white fine tip pens

adhesive and foam tape

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!

The image was printed 3 3/4 inches tall on Spectrum Noir Cardstock by Crafter's Companion and was colored with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers. The Lattice Border is 7 1/2 inches tall and is backed with pink. The white arrow is 7 inches long.

PAGE TWO

My Scrap Chick files used:

DIY Planner Pockets Vertical

Cupid's Cloud & Hearts In Circle Frame

If you are like me you like to get your money's worth from your purchases. This also applies to my SVG purchases. I always love when I can create more than one project from the same file. Today I am sharing how I used "Cupid's Cloud" and "Hearts in Circle Frame" in two different ways.

For my projects I made a 12 by 12 inch scrapbook layout and a 5 inch stand up frame.

PRODUCTS USED 

Hearts In Circle Frame from My Scrap Chick

Cupids Cloud digi stamp from My Scrap Chick

For the stand on the back I used Flower Frame from MSC ( you could use one from any frame.)

"Rock Candy Glitter Paper " by COLORBOK

Image printed on Spectrum Noir Cardstock by Crafter's Companion

Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers

Adhesive, foam tape and foam dots

The frame file and digi image were uploaded into Design Space. The frame was cut at 5 inches from the glitter paper.  I used print then cut to make the digi image 4 1/4 inches long, then colored it with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers. 

Color Palette

Bear: TN1, 2, 5

Nose: IB 5, 9

Wings & Diaper: TB 1, 2, 4

Cloud: TB1 Blender

Hearts: DR 2, 6, 7, Glitter Pen

My second project was a 12 by 12 scrapbook layout

Products Used 

Cupids Cloud svg from My Scrap Chick

Hearts in Circle Frame from My Scrap Chick

Patterned cardstock is "Hello Love" by Crate Paper

Solid  and glitter cardstock from Recollections

Your favorite inks

Black and white gel pens

Adhesive

I used two shades of pink as the background layers for my layout. I added an 11 1/2 square of the arrow print centered on top. The frame was cut 9 1/4 inches square using the same shades of pink for the bottom two layers as were used for the background. The top layer is white and the second layer is cut from the pink heart print. The cut out hearts from the frame were used for the corner accents on the layout. 

The Cupids's Cloud paper piecing was sized at 6 inches. Everything except the bear was cut from glitter paper. The finished bear was attached to the upper left of the frame with the little hearts scattered down the left edge of the frame.  The frame was then attached to the center of the page. 

Thanks for stopping by. If you liked my projects please let me know. I welcome your comments.

Pumpkin Pickin Double Z Card

Fall is in the air!

Today I am sharing a double Z card using the KaDoodleBug Designs files, "Pumpkin Pickin" and "At the Pumpkin Patch" (for the pumpkin pile.) 

The prints used on my card are from DCWV. Solids are from Recollections. The tractor and wagon are each 3 inches long. The title is 4 1/4 inches long. I mad an extra bear to peek out from behind the pumpkin pile. I used the pile of pumpkins from the second file and also made extra pumpkins.

Here is a link to my design space Z Card pattern, if you would like it.
