Valentine Candy Boxes

Hello friends!  Valentine’s Day is only a few weeks away and I want to share some candy/treat boxes I made.

They were made using the WRMK 123 Punch board.  WRMK sells a Candy Box Punch Board, but if you have the 123 or the Envelope Punch Board you can make these cute boxes.

They come together quickly, and I am so proud of myself in that all the paper I used here is stuff I have been hoarding – the papers are about 10 years old.  I’ve realized that since I purchased my punch boards I have been using a lot more of my scraps and old papers, which makes me happy!

 

The embellishments on the boxes were made with  dies I’ve had awhile.    The pink heart was embossed with a swiss dot embossing folder.

 

I have a video tutorial to show how to make these.  You’ll need the 123 or envelope punch board, a scoring tool, scissors and adhesive.

Holiday Gift Boxes

Hello crafters!  It’s December and the holiday spirit is in full swing!  I am happy to report that my shopping is done, my cards are finished and all that is left is to wrap things up and get them mailed out.  Yes, I am an early bird, simply because my family lives far from me and I have to get things mailed out in time, plus we will be out of town during part of the holiday and I needed to get everything finished before then.

Today I have a short video tutorial on how I made some holiday boxes for a few small gifts.  And I think I may have overcome my paper hoarding! Usually I hold on to any new papers I buy but this season I picked up about four 12 x 12 holiday paper packs from Michaels on sale and I put one of them to use in wrapping up a few gifts.  This particular paper pack was in shades of deep blue and blue green and had two pages of tag shapes that I put to work as well.

The Tutorial for the large square box on the end  was done previously, the that tutorial is here:

Thanks for stopping by and I hope your holiday season is going well!

 

 

Autumn ATC cards

Hello crafters and happy September! Are you feeling the fall season yet?  Here in Florida it is still very warm but that has not stopped me from getting into thinking about autumn.

Today I want to show you a couple of ATC cards I made for a recent swap I was in.

As you can see the theme was fall and I took advantage of the ATC  size to use some of my scraps.   The one with the leaf uses patterned paper for the background,  a die cut tag and a leaf shape die cut from patterned paper.  I ran the tag through an embossing folder to give it a bit more interest.  A few rhinestones add a touch of sparkle.

The second one uses a great sunflower stamp from I Brake For Stamps, (found HERE) although I covered much of it up with the sentiment which is from an old Cloud 9 set.

I decided to go one step further and enclose each ATC in its own open ended vellum envelope.

I used the WRMK 123 punch board and found the dimensions to make an envelope to fit the size of each ATC.   I ran the vellum through a leaf embossing folder then created the envelope, cutting off the top flap to make it open ended.

Thanks for stopping by today!

 

 

Halloween Treat Envelope

Hello crafters!  How is your September going?  All the stores are filled with things Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas and I thougth I would make a quick and easy Halloween treat envelope..

 

I used the WRMK 123 Punch board, but you can use any envelope punch board.

Here is a quick video on how I put it together

I made the envelope then added a few tags  to it.

The stamps are from an old Flourishes set.  I did not have any Halloween paper and my trips to Michael’s, JoAnn’s and Hobby Lobby proved to be fruitless, so I went online and found some free (!!!!) Halloween paper.  It is from Shery K Designs and she offered a bunch of free stuff on her store.  Here is a link to the Halloween paper pack:

Large Box with one sheet of paper

Hello crafters!   I am back to share with you a box I made using my WRMK 123 punch board.  This is a very easy and you can use the 124 Punch board or the Envelope Punch board.  I have to say that I have been paper crafting for over 20 years and I don’t rave about many tools, but the Punch boards I have are fantastic.  I have gotten so much use out of the 123 Board.  I am not a designer or affiliated with WRMK, just a very satisfied customer!!

I am calling this is large box because usually when we crafters make boxes they are for small items.  This one measures just over 5″ square and about 2.5″ deep.  And take only one sheet of 12 x 12 paper!

I have a quick and easy video so share with you on how I made it and the video also gives you a tip on how to determine the punch guide measurements for other paper sizes to make this type of box.  I hope you find it helpful!
