Cute Pumpkin Box

 

Check out this adorable pumpkin box that I made last week.

It is perfect to put some of your favorite treats inside of it!

This is what the box looks like from the top view.

COOL huh!

#156321- Pretty Pillowbox Dies= $34.00

This is the dies that I used to make the pumpkin part!

Notice how I only used the top part of this box (right at the fold). 

This is also the piece that you'll use the center part to die

cut out of the Rustic Harvest DSP!

How did I make it?

Here is the pattern on how to make the box part!

• 5 1/4 x 7 1/4" & score at 2" on all sides of this rectangle.

• Cut on the scored lines as shown.
• Cut off 1/2 of the 4 flaps on the outside edges as shown above.
  
• Add Tear & Tape as shown.
  

• Now fold & stick it together! 

AND this is what the box looks like when put together!

NOTE:  I did attach the DSP to both sides & emboss them using the 

Stripes Embossing Folder BEFORE I attached them to the sides of the box.

I used the Layering Circle Dies to make the holes in top of the pumpkin box handle.

 

Here are the supplies & measurements.

stamp set:  'Charming Sentiments' (words) & 'Hello Harvest' (leaves)

card stock: 

• Cajun Craze- 5 1/4 x 7 1/4"- score at 2" on all 4 sides, as shown above in photos to make the box

Awash in Beauty DSP latch card

Here is a fun fold latch card!

 

I used the gorgeous Awash in Beauty DSP!

Here is what the card looks like as you are starting to open it up.

The flower is popped up with dimensionals.

The flower is what holds the card shut by sliding the latch under the flower.

This is what the card looks like when opened up!

Check out the latch!

I always like to find "other" ways to use punches.

And I love the look when using this punch like this latch!

 

How did I make the latch?

I cut a 1 1/4" strip of Polished Pink card stock

& punched it out using the Label Me Lovely Punch.

Just slide the strip of card stock into the punch as shown

& line it up so that there is just little notches on all 4 corners.

Cool huh!

Now the latch just needs to be tucked in under the flower again to hold the card shut.

  I think this is such a pretty card!

Here are the supplies & measurements.

stamp set:  'Peaceful Moments' (words)

card stock:

• Polished Pink- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 3" & 7 1/4"- fold for card base

• 1" strip- punch out blue little flowers with Bough Punch
  

ink:  Polished Pink

Soft Seedlings Faux Suede Technique

This is one of my monthly class cards.

Isn't it a pretty Fall card!

 

I used the 'Soft Seedlings' stamp set.

And I did the Faux Suede technique over the leaf,

by adding crinkled up tissue paper over it.

Aren't all of the colors in this just so pretty!

How did I do it?

1. Ink leaf stamp using the Crushed Curry ink pad.
2. Using a sponge dauber & Cajun Craze ink- tap ink around edges of the leaf.
3. Using a sponge dauber & Soft Suede ink pad- tap ink onto stems & veins of leaf.
4. Huff  (breath) onto the stamp to moisten the ink.
5. Press onto your card stock.
6. Using Multipurpose Liquid Glue & a sponge- tap a light coat of glue all over ENTIRE piece of cardstock.  Be sure you get the glue along the edges & corners too.
7. Roll up & crinkle a piece of  wrapping tissue paper & carefully open it up.  You want to keep the wrinkles in it.
8. Carefully lay the crinkled tissue paper over the top of the leaf & press it down.  DO NOT smooth it- as you want it wrinkled!  So pressing straight downward to make sure it is stuck all over the entire image- including the edges & corners.  
9. Now you can trim the excess tissue paper off around the edges using scissors or you can fold the edges to the back side & leave them.

   

Here are the measurements & supplies.

stamp set:  'Soft Seedlings'

card stock:

• Cajun Craze- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4" & fold in half for card base
