With fall fastly approaching I wanted to make little box I could put something in for the teachers. Since I didn't want the traditional apple theme, I decided on nature. Owls, Tree's and orange/green hues.

I used the Tuck Top Cube Box in orange and then decorated it with ribbons and buttons.




Hope you enjoyed the little box, it makes a nice gift!

Hello! My project today is what I call a birthday box. It's a great size box to put a giftcard in or a little piece of jewelry.

The square box #10 by Creative Cuts and More was the ideal size for this.

The owl was stamped, colored in and then diecut. I used pop dots so it would stand out a little on the box.



Hope you enjoyed my box! See you next time :)

It's friday!!! TGIF :) Day 5 is here! I hope you've had a chance to follow along all week and make some cards. I would love to see them, please send a link to me if you made some so I can take a peek!

Supplies:
- I apologize I didn't measure these papers before I glued them on. Sometimes I get so into my card making, my hands take over!

Step 1 is to glue your first pattern paper down. Glue this all the way to the left side (where the fold is)

The next pattern is a full one. Once you have a rectangle cut, round two corners then glue this piece all the way to the right (where the card opens) in the middle of the orange piece.

On the small green piece, before it's glued on take a white gel pen and do a double line of stitching on the top and bottom. You can also do real stitching, I just am not that talented!

Once the white gel pen is dry (this takes a few minutes, careful, if its wet it WILL smudge), glue the green piece down right down the center of the card.

Last is to put your 3D embellishment down onto the green piece. I used this vampire guy. Again, you can use any sentiment you'd like, but I left  mine blank until I know who the recipient will be.

Did you enjoy this week? I hope so! I'm thinking of doing another tutorial week in the fall for christmas cards. I can't wait to see the cards you've made!

Today is thursday, were almost to the end of the week. The card today is super easy, there are only a few steps.

Supplies:
Simple supplies today
- Star Paper 3 X 2 1/2
- Green 3 1/4 X 2 1/4
- Black 2 X 2 1/2
- White 1 3/4 X 2 1/4

Each patterned piece is going to be layered and adhered. Round all the top corners of each piece. Once layered, add the ribbon to the bottoms, where the layers meet.

If you'd like a title to the card add that. I used Thickers to add "hi". Put your 3D embonlishment on, I choose this little frankenstein. He's silly and perfect for a kids card.

That was effortless right? Good! See you tomorrow :)

Thank you for coming back for day 3! I hope you liked the first two cards and are looking forward to making another.

Supplies:
I did decide to add one more thing to the card that isn't in the picture - buttons!
- Black Piece 3 X 2 1/2
- Orange 3 1/2 X 3
- Green 1/2 X 4 (two pieces)

Step 1 - Using a corner rounder (I use a corner chomper) round the top two corners of the orange plaid paper. Adhere to card. Then adhere the black plaid right underneath it. Both pieces are straight, just the picture makes them look a bit off ;)

Second, glue on the two green strips. Leave a small space inbetween them so the orange shows thru.


Last step is to thread the buttons (if you choose to) and glue those on. Add your 3d Embellishment, I chose the glittery cat. Final touch is faux stitching with a white gel pen around the orange piece only. If you would like you can stamp (or print) a sentiment. I stamped Trick or Treat and glued that to the black strip.

There we go! Another cute, fast, easy card. Hope to see you on Card # 4!
