Valentine Treat Box Tutorial

Good morning, Stacy here with a fun little valentine treat box tutorial for you. I am using this adorable robot called Beep Beep, I Love you. Here is the supplies you will need for your box. 2 8x11 sheets of solid color paper, 1 sheet of designer paper, Desired shape in 3 stages, adhesive and embellishments.  

First thing you will need to do is die cut out (2 pieces) the lid and the base using the largest shape you choose. I am using Spellbinders Label one shape today. Die cut out the designer piece in the second largest shape now as well.

Set aside these pieces for now. To create your box lid and box base you will need 2 piece of solid color paper. Cut  them in 4x4 inch piece of paper for both. Once cut score at 1/2 inch on all 4 sides of each piece of paper as shown. Fold the edges and cut the two ends to create the tabs for the box.

Add your adhesive to the little tabs and also to the bottom of each box. This is what will adhere to your die shapes we cut.

Remove ONLY the side tabs to create your box. Leave the large strips to adhere in a bit. See picture below.

Once both boxes are created you will remove the center adhesive from one and center onto your die shape as shown.

When adding the box to the lid portion I place the box onto of the bottom as shown below. This works better for me when I attach the lid base for centering all edges evenly.

Your box now should look like this and ready to decorate!

Here is my final creation all decorated. I added some lace trim and ribbon along with some pearls for fun. The flowers and his heart have a little bit of sparkle added to them also.

This might be the little project I make for the twins classroom this year for Valentines day. :0)   Hope you enjoyed the tutorial, happy creating!

Tutorial medical bag with Doc Henry

Good morning all,

Today it's my turn (Jeanet) to show you one of my creations here.

When I saw the new stamp release I immediately fell in love with this cute Doc Henry

and decided to make a tutorial for you all how to make a medical bag with it.

Above you find the template for the bag and the handles (cut them out twice).

In my case I have printed this template on the back of my kraft cardstock and 

cut it out with a my scissors.

For the handles you must cut 4 holes in the bag template on the marked places.

Then I inked up all the folded edges with distress ink walnut stain.

The handles are cut out of a different type of cardstock.

Fold your bag and put it together with tape.

Now you can decorate your bag as you wish.

On mine I placed Doc. Henry, stamped and colored with (only)

walnut stain distress ink.

My bag is filled with typical Dutch candy, called dropjes

(is good for a scratchy cough).

On the handle there is a tiny bottle stop with Tic-Tac.

don't you think they look like real pills :-)

The Dutch saying on the tag means something like "It's all gonna be oké sweatheart".
A piece of velcro holds the bag closed.

I hope you enjoyed my post, have a nice day!

Hugs,

 

Calendar-Line-Up Tutorial

Hallo liebe Ideenwelt-Besucher,
Hello lovely visitors,

hier ist wieder Clarissa von den Schnipselchen, heute möchte ich mit euch einen schnellen Kalender zum Aufstellen werkeln.

it´s me Clarissa from Schnipselundmehr, today I want to make with you a fast line-up calendar.


material:
cardstock 2x 23 x 15 cm (Aufsteller/stand-up-display)
cardstock 1x 15 x15 cm (Deckblatt/calendar sheet)
Scorpal, Desgin-Papier, ein nettes Whiff of Joy Motiv, ein Band oder Brads, Crop-A-Dile

Zuerst falzt ihr die beiden 23 x 15 cm Papiere jeweils bei 4 und 8 cm (lange Seite)
First, fold both 23 x 15cm papers at 4 and 8 cm (large side)

Nun wird Klebeband angebracht, wie hier zu sehen ist und dann die beiden Teile zusammengesetzt.
Now put the tape on the folds and put the two papers together.

So sollte euer Aufsteller nun aussehen.
Your stand-up-display should look like the picture above.

Jetzt nehmt ihr die Crop-A-Dile und macht euch zwei Löcher in den Aufsteller.
Make two holes in the paper with your crop-a-dile or something else to punch.

Ihr könnt nun euer Deckblatt dekorieren und dann ebenfalls lochen, fertig ist euer Kalender.
You could decorate your calendar sheet, punch again, put the parts together and now it´s done.

Natürlich lässt sich das Deckblatt auch prima mit der Cinch oder der bind-it-all befestigen.
You can use the cinch or bind-it-all to put it together, of course.

Wenn ihr wissen wollt, wie ich das Band gemacht habe, dann schaut einfach wieder vorbei, demnächst in der Ideenwelt.

If you want to know, how I make the special ribbon, watch out, here on the Whiff of Joy Tutorialblog, next.

Ich hoffe es hat euch gefallen und ihr könnt etwas mit dieser kleinen Anleitung anfangen.

Hope you have fun and you can use this short tutorial.

Schicke Euch liebe Grüße
sending you big hugs

xoxo Clarissa
