Magnolia Love Collection 2012 Valentine's Candy Book Box

Good evening eveyone and hope you are having a nice weekend.  Today I am posting a project that I worked on for a few days. and it is a Valentine's Book Box.  When I saw the candy book box tutorial over at the Scor-Pal's Blog HERE, I just love it and decided to try one.  However, I wanted to do a smaller box, therefore, wth the same concept of that tutorial, I made mine an inch smaller.  The handmade paper flowers you see on this box are made with the Magnolia Pattern Paper and the Cheery Lynn Cherry Blossom Die.  The large flower has 2 large and 2 small petals.  The small flower has 3 small petals. I sponged some distressing ink on each petals before layering them, then added a pearl in the centre.  Please scroll down to the bottom of this post for the list of material for this project.

 

I am using the project for the follwoing challenges:

My Time to Craft Challenge 206 - Things with Wings

One Stop Craft Challenge 213 - Sparkle and Bling

Here is my finished box.  Since I was able to colored more Love Collection 2013 stamps from Magnolia-licious, I used a few for this project.  On this box cover, I used Tilda with Heart Arrows 

 

Here is a closer view of these handmade flowers.  I love this Magnolia Paper and the Cheery Lynn Cherry Blossom Die.  Very easy to make flowers.

YNS Fun Friday - creating a colorful border

Good morning everyone. Today is the second Your Next Stamp card post to share with you this month. Check out the YNS Fun Friday post here to see more fun creations there. Since the weather is getting better and better everyday, I feel like making a colorful project. Not long ago, I bought a Small Post Card Stamp set. The even better thing is YNS also have the matching Small Post Card Die Set for this stamp set. Of course if you get this Combo Set together, it will be cheaper too!!

Here is my finished card. I picked one of the bright and colorful DP. How about a fun border for this card? To create a colorful border, what I did was, to use a border punch to punch out matching color cardstocks in different width, then line them up and put them on the side edge to create a multi-coloring border.

Closer view of these stamps. I colored the stamps, then punched them out with the matching dies, then I also punched one more time on another piece. Put them together in between a foam dot/tape to make them pop up a little to create a dimension effect.

Side view of this card, so you can see the dimension of the images.

Thank you for visiting my project today and hope to share with you another YNS project again soon :o)

Mini Bottle Holder Tutorial using Magnolia Mini Yoga Tilda

Good morning and thanks for stopping by today. Earlier on THIS POST, I've mentioned that when I get a chance, I will post the tutorial on the mini bottle holder project. Over the last few weeks, I've received some emails and requests asking about this project. Well, last night I finally prepared the tutorial and have this post today.

This is a pretty simple project to try out. You don't need to use a lot of cardstock or pattern paper, so maybe you can dig out your scrap, lol

Supplies you need:

Cardstock - 8" x 4 1/2" and a purple 1 1/4" circle punch out

Pattern paper - 1 3/4" x 1 1/4" (1 piece), 1 3/4" x 1" (2 pieces), 4 1/2" x 1 1/4" (1 piece) and a 1 3/8" circle punch out

Stamp - Magnolia Mini Yoga Tilda

Other Tools: Scor-Pal, Scor-tape, corner punch, scissors, glue

Take the 8" x 4 1/2" cardstock, with short edge across the top of Scor-Pal, score at:
1/4", 1 1/2", 3", 4 1/4"

Turn the piece 90 degree, with the long edge across the top of Scor-Pal, score at:
2", 3 1/4"

After you score all the lines, please see the picture below: Cut away the shading part. Cut following the 'purple cross' line. You can refer to more pictures below if you are not sure where to cut away.

I use a corner punch to round the left & right corners of the long strip on the cardstock piece. **But this is option, if you don't want any round corners, you don't have to do this step.

Now you can see what I mean on which shading part to remove. (left piece is after the shading is removed and the cut on the "purple cross" line. Then take the three small pieces of pattern paper and adhere them on the cover of the holder as pictures below. **I embossed all the pattern paper before adhere them to the cover, but again this is optional.

Then turn the cardstock piece over and adhere the long piece of pattern paper on the cardstock (see picture below)

Apply Scor-tape on the edges of the cardstock piece (See left). Please refer the "red" area for the edges to apply Scor-tape (See right).

Once you apply the Scor-tape, you can fold and adhere the inside as shown as the picture below

Then fold the outside edges in and adhere the piece as shown on the picture below

That is what it will look like when it's done. You are almost finished.

Loop a piece of ribbon together with glue or a glue dot as shown on picture below. Put the smaller pattern paper circle on the bigger cardstock circle. Adhere the colored Mini Yoga Tilda image on the circle. Adhere the circle on the ribbon.

This is what it will look like when it's done.

Ta-DA, all you do is to put the ribbon loop on the mini Bailey bottle and put the bottle into the holder!!

I hope you are going to have fun trying this out!! Thank you for coming by and see you again soon :o)

Magnolia Sitting Tilda with Teddybear Gift Box Tutorial

Good morning everyone and thank you for visiting today. As mentioned from the previous posts HERE and HERE, today is the tutorial of this gift box which measured 5" X 5 1/4".

Materials you need, some are optional:

Stamps - Sitting Tilda with Teddybear from Magnolia-licious
Sentiment - Inkadinkado
Cardstock - 6" x 12" (1 piece - for box base)
Some scraps for the back layer for the sentiment on cover (see yellow border punched piece from picture above)
Patterned paper -
Cover and back - Magnolia Sweet Rainbow Paper Pack - 5" x 4 3/4" (2 pieces)
Border - Magnolia Winner Takes It All - 4 3/4" x 1 1/4" (4 piece)
Embellishments (Optional) - Flower, ribbon, brads, pearl swirls, butterfly punch outs, pearls
Tools - Scor-Pal, Scor-Tape, Sizzix Big Shot, Martha Stewart border punch, Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, Scissors, Paper glue, Spellbinder die cutter (to cut out shape piece the for back layer for the sentiment - optional).

*****TO FORM THE BOX*****

With the 6" x 12" cardstock, short edge across the Scor-Pal on top, score @ 1/2", 5 1/2"

Turn the piece 90 degrees to have the long edge on top, score at 1/2", 1", 6 1/4" and 6"3/4"

After creasing all the score lines. On the long sides, cut slits on each score lines up to the point where they connect with the first score lines from the long side.

Cut off (remove) the small square pieces like the picture below

Turn over so the cover is facing the top. The picture below shows the left part of the cardstock piece is the back cover and the right part is the front cover when it is assembled.
Apply Scor-tape to each side edge of the back cover. Apply small pieces of Scor-tape to the little part (as picture below) to each small square side of the front cover.

Fold the front cover flip up, then adhere the corners to create this flip lid for closing. Here are the two pictures. On the second picture of this section, you can see a closer view on how to adhere it to form the flip lid.

This is what the cover flip looks like when it is assembled.

Next step is to adhere the left & right side edges together to form it into a box shape.

This box is basically completed and you can push the flip lid down to close this box.

*****TO DECORATE THE BOX*****

I like to add some textures on the cover. The patterned paper is 5" x 4 3/4". However, the Cuttlebug Embossing Folder is smaller than this piece. Open up the embossing folder, with the long edge of patterned paper across the top, lay it inside the embossing folder. The side edges will stick out (but don't worry, it will get covered up by the punched borders later).

Put it through the Sizzix/die cut machine.


This is what the embossed patterned paper will look like. As you can see the top & bottom edges are flat since this patterned paper is bigger than the embossing folder.


Punch one side edge of each 4 3/4" x 1 1/4" piece with the Martha Stewart punch.

Adhere the borders to top & bottom edges of the back & front cover.

Here is the view of the finished back cover

You do the same piece on the front cover. Apply the Sitting Tilda with Teddybear image and sentiment on the cover, then add any embellishment as you wish. I hope you enjoy this tutorial and have fun trying it out. If there are any questions, you can add it on the comment section with your email address.

Thank you for stopping by and hope to share more projects with you soon :o)
