Love how bright and sunny the new Fiesta Birthday Designer Series paper looks! I cased the box on page 11 using the Birthday Fiesta stamp set and matching dies – so cute! My box sabot 6 inches tall – starting with an 11 x 8 piece of Tempting Turquoise ad using the medium box setting on the Gift Bag punch board.

Aren’t all the dies fun? This will be a favorite! Hugs, Fran
I was playing around with the Cutie Pie Thinlits and the Pyramid Thinlits. They both make triangle shaped boxes. The Cute Pie die makes pie shaped pieces that can be put together to make a cake. So I started with cake 🙂
It also has a bow that is super cute! On this one, I one together and then added the “icing” pieces to the completed box.
There’s also a candle for the top. Cut two and glue together all but the bottom. The bottom flares so you have a base to hold it on the cake.
Then I tried a slice of watermelon. But this time I made 2 boxes and put them together to make one. I like the way this turned out better.
I made the seeds with the punch that goes with the Ronald McDonald set. Then I covered them with Crystal Effects.
Daylight Savings really bothers me – sorry I’m late posting! Is anyone else affected by the change in time? I feel like a slug! Hugs, Fran
Today is my Bags and Boxes class and here’s one of the projects we’re making. This box is made with the Box Punch Board using the Under the Tree Designer Series paper. The “bow” is a rosette made with the Rosette die and the snowflake on top was die cut from a coaster using a retired snowflake die.
It’s almost time to think about packing! Hugs, Fran
The fourth challenge this month for the Creative Crew at Splitcoast is packaging. I chose the Decorative Window Gift Box with a wreath over the opening. The “ribbon” is a strip of card stock wrapped all the way around. I didn’t want the box to collapse so I lined the bottom with Real Red and make a punched doughnut to cover the opening on the inside.
Supplies
Stamp Sets – Wondrous Wreath, Merry Stars
Card stock – Real Red, Whisper White
Ink – Old Olive, Garden Green, Real Red
Etc – Decorative Windows Gift Box, Wondrous Wreath Framelits, 2 1/2 and 1 3/4 circle punches
Can’t wait to fill this box! Hugs, Fran
There are lots of MDS downloads in the new catalog! This one is called “Cool Like That” and has lots of boxes and bags in it that can be used with your ecutter (or simply cut out.) I chose this six-sided box and sleeve and cut it out with my Eclips. First I stamped the Rose Red card stock with Beautiful Bunch, then cut it out and assembled. There is a matching sleeve for this box.
All the embellishments are attached to the sleeve.
Supplies
Stamp Sets – Beautiful Bunch, Num-Num
Card stock – Rose Red, Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz
Ink – Rose Red
Etc – MDS Cool Like That, Flower Frenzy die, Flower punch, Banner Framelits, Pearls
This is a great box for a small gift! Hugs, Fran
