This is a gift box that i made to share with you!! The good thang about this gift box is it holds A2 cards and envelopes, but it also makes a good box to put candy in, ornaments, gifts, ext.. Its so easy to make and FUN to make. Its so much prettier then using a plain Jane box! I have wrote the instructions on how to make this!! Its a little bit below this!

 

To make the rosette I just YouTube it!

I made the Christmas tree with my Hello Kitty Greetings cricut cartridge!

I made my Merry Christmas Tag with the CTMH Art Philosophy cricut cartridge!

 

The Merry Christmas stamp came from Hobby Lobby (it was in there Christmas sections)

 

the paper came from DCWV called the Christmas stack with glitter!

In order to make this gift box u will need:

 

2 sheet of 12 x 12 card stock any color or pattern your choice

sticky tape (i used my ATG gun)

Bone Folder

Scoring Board

 

 to make the bottom box you will need:

 

 to cut your choice of card stock at 10 3/4" and 9 1/2"

Score each side at 2 1/2", using your bone folder and scoring board, make sure u crease all score lines

The next step is to cut the corners of your card stock by first cutting the vertical score line until it meets the horizontal score line. Then cut from the right bottom corner to left top corner on each side. Remove the triangle piece. This will make your corners go together easier.

Glue all ur ends to the inside of the box!

 

To make the Top:

 

 Cut a piece of card stock your choice at 7 7/8" x 6 5/8"

Score all 4 sides at 1". Fold along all score lines and burnish with bone folder.

As with the bottom, you will cut the corners of your card stock by first cutting on the vertical score line until it meets the horizontal score line. Then cut from the right bottom corner to top corner on each side. Remove the triangle piece.

Add glue to all 4 corners on the side you want to show and assemble your box.

Decorate the top of your box as you wish!

Sorry I have been super busy!

Sorry for not posting anything in awhile but i have been SUPER busy with my 2 little girls. We went out of town this weekend to San Antonio, TX and boy did we have a blast! I have never been there even though i live 4 hours away lol. But its so PRETTY!!

Just wanted to show a card I made!

Happy Birthday!

I made this Birthday Card for a friend I just meet. We got the kids together at her house this past weekend. Apparently she lives less than 2 mins from me lol, our oldest go to Pre-k together! She doesn’t know I’m making her one nor does she even expect one lol. But I know she is going to be at the fair today (yes its fair time and that’s where I will be the rest of the day to lol), So before I head to the fair I’m going to drive to her house and put the card on her door, so she has a nice surprise when she gets back lol. I love this card; I used the paper I got from Tuesday Mornings! Here lately they happen to have a lot of really CUTE paper! I even found some corrugated paper for $1.99 (25 sheets to a pack)!! I used the cuttlebug birthday embossing folder to emboss with. The ribbon I picked up somewhere can’t remember where though. The sentiment is from Whimsical Designs called Everyday Sentiments. And last but not least are my Royal Jewels I used for the corner ( Purchase here! ). You have probably noticed that i love my round corner chomper!

 

Thank you for following my blog and I hope I’m inspiring you!

Don’t hesitate to share my blog with your friends!!

Get Well Card.

Everyone that i know seems to be sick right now!!! So i desided to make some Get Well cards to send some CHEER to the sick lol. I used some paper that i purchased from my local Tuesday Mornings (they have awsome deals on scrapbook items) My little greeting I purchased form my dear friend The Scrapbook Queen! The Scrapbook Queen. The stamp set that i used is called Royal Pain ( you may purchase it here) O and you can never have enough Get Well Cards!
