Super Owl - Super Box

Well it took a while...

At last I managed to make a box from one sheet of A4 c/stock that would hold 

4 cards with envelopes.

As you see the holder is not decorated, as yet. I was just so pleased to have succeeded.

Cards: 

The idea for Super Owl came from a card we made at Stamp Club (middle photo, right card).

We made a super hero dog card and as I don't have that stamp set, 

I noodled the idea and made a super owl using the same layout theme.

Now to produce some more holders, and turn them into lovely gifts.

Flip Top Box, very handy..

I made this cute box some time ago and knew it would become useful for something  :)

Now it is the PERFECT  holder for a set of 4 gift tags.

So the sky is the limit again...any colour, any design, and now a cute holder.

Great teachers end of year thank you gift.

Chalk That Up...

I admit I've gone nuts with the Chalk Board idea.

These tags/picks are double sided, die cut c/stock & glued front and back to bamboo skewers.  

The skewers have a flat handle top which makes attaching c/stock very easy.

Gel pen - hand drawn edges on picks.

Small Chalk Board on covered peg is made with Natural White c/stock backing, 

Black c/stock top, all corners rounded.  Glue dots onto pegs.  

Attach to gifts, cards, bags.

Add more 'Bling' as desired, ribbons, tiny flowers, pennants, 

the sky is the limit.

5cm x 5cm Handy Flip Top Box

A good size box for all manner of goodies.

I can see a window punched from the lid before assembly would be a lovely variation.

Add some shredded paper and a hand-made chocolate, how special is that!

Personalize with a paper flower, ribbon and greeting of your choice.

Shut the Gate...

I just l-o-v-e this wood background stamp.

Shorten & trimmed to a 'V' to form pickets, or punch a heart shape out, or punch a window out, 

 or flowers in front for a garden scene.

The perfect Country Style background.

Natural White card base - tall tent fold.

Always Artichoke (green) card stock back-ground.

Wood background stamp on Very Vanilla c/stock

Gold brads coloured with Sharpie pen, brown.

Sponge all edges - Crumb Cake.

Whoo.. Goes There?

 I found the directions for this cute 'no glue' box @ www.pootles.co.uk   

Sam Donald  is certainly the Queen of Box making.

This is the box unfolded.  3 boxes can be made from one sheet of A4 card stock.

Filled with M & M's this would be perfect favour box for parties, just decorate to suit event.

GOTTA LOVE THESE CARDS

I call this stamp set - Henry's Stamps.

Bugs so cute.

This card has 3 layers.  I added an extra section to hold the caterpillar.

He wobbles really well when you first open the card.  FUN !

 Simple but such fun.  

The candles are separate from the cup cakes so they float and sway.

 Cheeky Monkey popping out.  

This stamp set has such potential for different settings,

colours and combinations.

 Butterflies are perfect for a card such as this.

No stamping.  All butterflies are embossed and cut in the one step

using the Stampin Up Embosslits.  So easy.

Two different style boxes.

Left - small box once opened the bottom section 'blossoms' open to display the contents really nicely.

Larger box the same just 1/2" larger all round and made with Designer Paper.

Blue boxes can be stored flat, then just affix the corners of  the lid, and it's ready to use. (1 3/4" x 3")
