Myths and Magic Lots of Love Box

Howdy Stampers! 

James Fierce is in the hospital again for another long isolate stay.  This time, he is getting a couple of match box cars packaged in this knights and dragons box! 

 This box was made using the Lots of Love Box Framelits Dies, Myths & Magic Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the Mythis & Magic Specialty Washi Tape.  Remember, in Monday's post, I talked about cutting a whole sheet of the DSP while on a road trip? Well, all those cut out pieces came in VERY handy again!!
To construct this box, I cut out FOUR of the largest thinlit (which actually scores the piece too)
I cut the side tabs off two of those pieces then layed them side by side, every other one so I could glue one tab to the next piece. Hope that makes sense. I did not fold on the first score line on the flap.  I folded on the score line that gave me the biggest tab to fold out over the top of the box.
Once I had the four panels glued out flat and finally folded it to complete the box, it was a box without a bottom! The remedy was to score a 4" square piece of Whisper White card stock at 1/2" on all four sides. Cut the score lines on two opposite sides to make the flaps to fold in to form the mini box. Insert and glue this inside the bottom of the box. Tip: I did this after I was finished decorating.

I am so very impressed with how well this suite coordinates and is SO easy to use!
Below are the supplies needed to complete this project.  Would anyone like to see a video on how to make this project?  Leave me a comment.

Happy Stamping!

Hearts a Plenty - SUO Challenge #193

Howdy Stampers!

Today I am posting my SUO Challenge #193: Hearts a Plenty

And, as you can see, there are plenty of hearts on this ensemble!!

I have created a Valentine card that can be used for any occasion really because it just says "Just for You" with no Valentine sentiment. I love that! 

The Painted with Love Specialty Designer Series Paper makes it SO easy to create and coordinates very well with both the Sure Do Love You and the Heart Happiness stamp sets. Add a little sparkle and bling and you have yourself a masterpiece! 

Below you can see all the materials I used.  The little box was created to hold three truffles from a local shop.  Hope it inspires you to create your own valentine gift box and card! CASE away if you'd like.  I would be flattered!

Cutting & Scoring:  

• Calypso Coral - 8 ½” x 5 ½”, score and fold at 4 ¼”
• Smoky Slate – (2) 5 1/8” x 4 1/8”
• Whisper White – (2) 5” x 4”, 4 ¼” x 5 ½” for stamping, scraps
• Gold and Silver Glimmer Paper – scraps
• Silver Foil Sheet – scraps
• Designer paper – 1 ½” x 12” and 1” x 5”

           

Instructions:

• On the largest piece of Whisper White cardstock, stamp two large hearts from Sure Do Love you, one in Melon Mambo and one in Calypso Coral.  Stamp the polka dot heart in Calypso Coral. Die cut these hearts with the appropriate framelits. Stamp ‘Just for You’ in Calypso Coral onto a scrap of Whisper White then trim to 2” x ½” and banner one end with your Paper Snips.  
• Dust an area of your Whisper White paper with the Embossing Buddy. Stamp the banner ‘Sure Do Love You’ with Versamark. Dust with gold embossing powder and heat set. Die cut with appropriate thinlit. Add 3 or 4 dimensionals to this banner.
• Adhere the short piece of DSP to 4” x 5” Whisper White as shown on the card front.  Layer onto a Smoky Slate mat.  Die cut the small hearts (as shown on the card) from the glimmer and foil scraps. Add all hearts, except the large Calypso Coral, as shown on the card. Adhere the matted card front to the card base.  
• On the second piece of 4” x 5” Whisper White, stamp the large heart frame stamp from Sure Do Love You with Smoky Slate. Stamp the heart  shaped sentiment inside this stamped frame with Calypso Coral.  Layer this piece onto a Smoky Slate mat and adhere to the inside of the card.  
• Construct the Gable Box.  Fit the long strip of DSP around the box, creasing the corners. This will NOT meet completely.  Make sure the gap is where you are going to attach the Calypso Coral heart and the banner.  Adhere the strip of DSP with multipurpose glue or your choice of adhesive. Adhere the heart over the gap in the DSP using multipurpose glue. Add the banner with dimensionals.
• Tie a 7 ½” length of Calypso Coral Shimmer Ribbon and equal length of gold sequin trim to the handle of the Gable box.

May 5th at 6:30pm. We will make this along with one bag and another box. Cost is $15.00 -OR- a $25.00 minimum order.

Again I apologize for the late notice. Just RSVP as soon as you can.
Happy Stampin'!
