Crayon Box

Hi Everyone
Today I'd like to share a tutorial on what I'll call a crayon box.
This is a great box for 4 x 4 cards or even a spool of ribbon for a sweet stamping friend.
Lets get started.
Supplies you'll need:
Stamps:
Digital stamp - Libby Ladybug from Digital Delights
Paper:
Box
(1) Red card stock 10" x 6"
Back of Box Panels
(1) Blue card stock 3 7/8" x 3 7/8"
(1) Pattern Paper 3 3/4" x 3 3/4"
Top of Box Panels
(2) Blue card stock 2 1/4" x 3 7/8"
(2) Pattern Paper 2 1/8" x 3 3/4"

Accessories:
Scallop circle punch
1 1/4" circle punch
Score Tape
Scissors
Signo white pen
Copic makers
Ribbon
Bling
Velcro dot

Step 1:
On the 10" side of the 6" x 10" red card stock score at 2 1/2", 3", 7" and 7 1/2"
On the 6" side score the card stock at 1/2", 1", 5" and 5 1/2"


Step 2:
Cut away the corners. To do this place card stock on the table vertically. Cut along the 1" score line up to the second score line. See photo below. Fold your card stock on your score lines using a bone folder for crisp folds.




Step 3:
Since the flaps are the same size it doesn't matter which one you fold over the other.
Add adhesive to the sides of one of the flaps to create the pocket. See photo below for placement of the adhesive.

Step 4:
Adhere the card stock and patter paper to create three panels.


Step 5:
Adhere the panels to the box. See photo below for placement.


Step 6:
Adhere box together.

Step 8:
Decorate! I've used Libby Ladybug and colored her using Copic markers. I've also added some bling and a ribbon on the top of the box. I've also used a Velcro dot at my choice for a closure.



Thanks so much for joining me today for another Tuesday Tutorial at Digital Delights!
Have a fantastic day.

A Scottish "Clam Box" Tutorial

Hi Everyone
It's been some time since I posted anything on this Demonstration blog but I'm super excited to be with you today and to share that I've been asked to create tutorials over at Digital Delights.
So now I've got no excuses in posting tutorials of some of the fun things I've made.
Some will be some oldies but goodies and some new stuff I've found around the web.

Today I have a claim box to share.
The one I've made today is a gift for a fellow stamper so I've added some paper flowers in the box for her. You can of course add some treats to the box for a gift or put some stray embellishment you might have. I seem to always have embellishments with no home.

Let's get started

Supplies you'll need:
Stamps:
Digital stamp - Scottie Dog and Thank You
Paper:
Box
(1) Blue 8 1/2" x 10 1/2"
Top of Box Panels
(1) Brown 4 3/8" x 2 7/8"
(1) Pattern Paper 4 2/8" x 2 6/8"
Front and Back Panel
(2) Brown 4 3/8" x 1 3/8"
(2) Pattern Paper 4 2/8" x 1 2/8"
Side Panels
(2) Brown 2 7/8" x 1 3/8"
(2) Pattern Paper 2 6/8" x 1 2/8"
Accessories:
1 1/4" circle punch
Score Tape
Scissors

Step 1:
With your 8 1/2" x 10 1/2" blue card stock score the 8 1/2" side at 2" and 6".
On the 10 1/2" side score at 1 1/2", 4 1/2", 6", and 9"

Step 2:
From the 10 1/2" side cut along the score lines up to the 1 1/2" score line.
See photo for example. You will make 4 cuts on the 10 1/2" side of the card stock.
Step 3:
Next we need to trip 1/2" from the box. Fold over the 1 1/2" strips (as seen in the below photo) and line up the card stock to the 1/2" mark on the right side of your trimmer. (View photo in Step 5 to see what the end result looks like once you trip 1/2" from both sides.)
Step 4:
Adhere your brown and pattern paper panels together. You will have a large panel for the top of the box. You will also have 2 panels for the front and back of the box. Lastly you will have two shorter panels for the sides of the box.
Step 5a:
Add your panels to the box as shown in the below picture.

Step 5b:
Add adhesive to your box as shown in the picture below.Step 6:
Put box together.
Start by folding in the 1 1/2" strips to create the bottom of the box. Make sure that the smaller strips go inside the box. That way when you close the box lid it won't catch on the sides of the bottom of the box.
Step 7:
Next adhere the lid.
Step 8:
I've used a 1 1/4" circle punch to create a notch out of the box so that the lid is a bit easier to open. You could also do this step before constructing the box.
Step 9:
Decorate. I've colored the Scottie with Copic markers. I've also used a boarder punch and used it like a fence for the sweet dog. Add some ribbon and some bling and you are in business.
Step 10:
Add your favorite treat or gifts in the box and enjoy!


Thanks so much for joining me today. Have a fantastic day creating a little something special for your someone special!

One Drawer Organizer

Hi Everyone
I found a gem online this weekend while I was cruising the net.
This is called a One Drawer Organizer. I am so all about this little project.
This tutorial can be found at Creations by AR. It is a paid tutorial. The cost of the tutorial was $4.95 USD.

The instructions were very informative and clear. Always a must in a paid tutorial.
What I think is super great about this is that it will hold A2 cards. In one of the photos I've included an A2 card on the top and in the drawer to give you the perspective.

What I also thought was wonderful was that my Island girl friends I see swapping images and goodies for RAKs and I thought you'd love this project to shake up your RAKS and send something new and different.

From a supply perceptive it didn't take a lot of supplies. It does require 5 sheets of 8 1/2" x 11" card stock and just 1 sheet of decorative paper. I also used a 1" circle punch for the drawer instead of adding a brad or ribbon for the drawer pull. For the feet I used some jumbo half pearls. You could use some half wood beads or really any type of bead that had a flat surface.

This did take me a bit of time to create the first time. I don't like printing patterns onto card stock which is how this tutorial is set up so I always print it out and them use a ruler to measure out the dimensions. So that took some time. Once I got everything cut out and scored it didn't take that much time at all. The second once I made (not pictured) didn't take nearly as long.

I really think you'll love this project. Give Adela a visit.

Thanks for your visit and Have fun with this project.
Hugs

Tissue Box

Hi Everyone
Today I've got a tissue box for the small travel tissues you can buy.
This was a lot of fun to create and pretty quick to put together.

I found the template for the tissue box HERE . Check out Lynette's blog for the tutorial and template.
Have a super great day everyone.

Gift Card Holder

Hi Everyone

I was checking out SCS and ran across a gift card holder that I haven't had a chance to create. There are a lot of different gift card holders out there but I thought this one was a lot of fun to create and really easy.

Step 1: cut card stock to 5 1/2" x 4"

Step 2: score at 2 1/2" and 5"

Step 3: cut card stock to 11" x 3/4"

Step 4: If you are using a solid card stock add your stamped images.

Step 5: Add adhesive (I've used sticky strip) to the 1/2" section (when you scored at 5" this left you a section that was 1/2" this is where the sticky strip is placed)

Step 6: Punch out a section for the 11" x 3/4" strip to go through. I've use the word window punch from Stampin Up but you could use any oval punch.

Step 7: Thread the 11" x 3/4" strip of cards stock through the punched hole.

The gift card is placed between the strip.

Step 8: Adhere the top of the 11" x 3/4 strip.

Here is a link to a picture tutorial that I found for this type of gift card.

Have fun and thanks so much for your visit.

Post-it Note Holder

Hi Everyone

Just a quick post-it note holder.

Supplies:

CS: 7 1/2" x 3 1/3"

DSP: 3 x 2 3/4", 3 x 2 1/4" , 3 x 1"

Velcro dot and accessories for closure.

Step 1: Take 7 1/2 x 3 1/3" card stock and score at 2 1/2", 2 3/4", 5 3/4" and 6.

Step 2: Glue on DPS

Step 3: Adhere your closure (I've used scallops, flowers or just ribbon)

Step 4: Adhere Velcro dot

These are super fast. If you use an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of CS you can get three out of 1 sheet.

I went to the Big Lots store and picked up a stack of 5 post it notes for $1.

Give it a try. Thanks for your visit.

Gift Tag Box

Hi Everyone

There is a cute gift tag box on page 14 of the Stampin' Up! 2009-2010 catalog that I've been wanting to try out. I'm so lazy when it comes to sitting down and working up dimensions for project so my first step is usually to do a google search and see if I can find a patter that is already out in blog land.

Well I've found such a blog and WOW how happy I was not only to find this project but the great blog that it was on.

This is pretty straight forward and was really easy to follow and up together. The biggest pain I thought about this project was trying to tie the silver cord.

You can find the pattern on Valerie's blog HERE.

The only alteration I made on the box was that I used a sheet protector instead of a window sheet. A sheet protector is much thinner but I didn't have any trouble with using it and it's a whole lot cheaper than a window sheet.

The stamps I used are all from SU! with SU punches.
Have fun giving it a try.

Thanks for visiting.
