Watercolour Wonder & Flower Shop "Card in a Box"

I have seen lots of "cards in a box" recently and I have been very impressed by them.  I finally got to make my own and this was one of the projects we made at my weekend class.  My "card in a box" is cased from the Tauranga Extravaganza.

The one on the right with the Summer Starfruit ribbon is one I made before the class as a sample.  The one on the left with the Tangerine Tango ribbon is the the one I made during the class to show everyone what to do. I then finished it off afterwards. These "cards in box" feature the lovely Watercolour Wonder DSP.  Here are some more photos of them.

 

The great feature about these cards is that they can even be folded flat and posted in the mail. Come back tomorrow and see another card in this style and see how it folds flat.

Season of Style Gift Boxes

These are some boxes I made for my Music Box team to thank them for their work this year.  Music Box is a music and movement session for toddlers and their mums/caregivers, similar to Mainly Music.

What did I put inside?  It neatly fits 6 treat sized Whittakers bars.

These boxes were inspired by Tanya Bell.  They are easy to make once you know how.  They only use one piece of 12" x 12" DSP and some extra card for the belly band.  My Simply Scored Tool came in very handy for making this box.  And once again the Label Love stamp set and Artisan punch have been very useful to decorate the belly band.

Thanks for stopping by.

Craft at a birthday party

My daughter, Danielle, turned seven years old yesterday.  On Saturday she had a birthday party with her friends and we made a craft as one of the activities at the party.   This is what they each made.

There were ten girls, so a few too many to teach how to make this gift bags, so I pre-made them and they got to decorate the fronts of them.  I pre-cut the coloured card for the front, the embossed white card and pre-punched the butterflies.  They got to choose the colours they liked and put it all together.  They seemed to enjoy the activity.  This was their goodie bag to take home.  The gift bag is based on the gable box tutorial.  

I had also planned for them each make a Petite Purse Bag which nicely fits a small snack sized chocolate treat.  Only some of them had time to finish them at the party and so I finished the rest of for them for them.

Come back tomorrow and see the Strawberry Shortcake punch art card I made for Danielle's birthday.

A Heart Box

Earlier this month I held my first class of the year.  For this class I wanted to include a 3D project.  I thought that since Valentine's Day is coming up it would be nice to make something that could be used for this occasion.  I saw this heart box on Brenda Quintana's blog and thought it would be perfect.  She also has a tutorial on how to make it which I have adapted slightly.  It is perfect to fill it up with some small yummy treats like Hershey's Kisses.

This is how my version turned out.  

 

Supplies:
Stamps: You are Loved (or one could use Itty Bitty Banners) 
Cardstock: Raspberry Ripple, Very Vanilla, Primrose Petals
DSP: In Colours 2011-2013 DSP stack – Wisteria Wonder
Ink: Raspberry Ripple
Tools: Big Shot, Hearts Collection Framelits, Adorning Accents Folders, Simply Scored, Heart Punch, Punch to punch small holes, (Bitty Banner Framelit Dies) 
Embellishments: Raspberry Ripple Stitched Stain Ribbon, Pearl Basic Jewels
Adhesive: Sticky Strip, Dimensionals, Snail, Glue Pen 

Thanks for visiting.  Enjoy the rest of your week.
