Giftbox with I {HEART} You 3 Times Tag

Hi Everyone... Finally, my first video. I felt a video was a bit faster than written down instructions on how to make a 4x4x2 Giftbox with tag. Sorry, it goes a bit fast, but I wanted you to at least see how I create these cute boxes. Maybe, you can also create a couple of them before Valentine's Day. You might think these take a bit to make, but once you make your second or third one, you can do them with your eyes closed...lol. Well, maybe not, but they sure do go pretty fast. I hope you enjoy viewing my very first video. And PLEASE let me know what you think.

Thanks So Much For Stopping by.

Just For Her... GiftBox

 Bows, PolkaDots, and Posies 

Today's project was definately... Made For Her. With bows, polka dots, and posies. There is no doubt about it. Not to mention the color splash... greens, pinks, and whites.

 

This cute box all started with a Glue Shopping Spree this past weekend. I was not too happy with the outcome of other adhesives and glues, I had used on my previous box projects.  So, this is what I came home with:

I was very happy with the outcome of this glue from Beacon.

The Scallop circle was punched with a 2" EK Success punch. The circle was cut out at 1.75" from the Fiskars Circle Cutter. The Butterfly/ Dragonfly is an emebellishement I purchased at my local Dollar Store.

After I cut the the square for the Lid, I decided to punch a border with the EK Success Border Punch.

The last piece I added to the lid was the posies square. I chalked it with a coordinating color on the edges. Then, used my New Fav Glue (3 in 1 Craft Glue from Beacon) to adhere it to the Lid.

Thank you so much for taking a glance at my post for today. Please let me know what you think.

Celebrate 2011 in Pink

Bottle and Card Giftset

I really liked how this giftset turned out. I wish the giftpaper color showed up better in the pictures. We were invited to a friend's house for a dinner celebration for NewYear's Eve. So, I quickly threw together a card and dressed up the bottle. I really cannot remember exactly what supplies I used but I will do my best to post them (since I did the set before we left to the dinner and had no time to write down notes). 

I cut the left over wrapping on the top into strips and curled them down with scissors. I wanted to give it a diff touch other than putting a bow out of ribbon.

The Tag is what I had the most fun doing. I used my Gypsy Girl to design the Bottle Tag. Lacy Labels  Cart was the cart I used to make the base for the Tag.

The Pink and Striped Gift Wrap Paper I found at my local Walmart and it is the Support Breast Cancer Paper. I used it to wrap the bottle and as background paper for the Tag and Card.

The glasses on the Tag and Card were cut from an Accetate Sheet.  The glittery paper was a pack I bought at my local dollar store. the company who made the paper is CRAYOLA. The ribbons are the dollar ribbons you can purchase from the dollar bins at Michaels.

A Warm Blanket made from Scraps for a Sweet Chihuahua

This is what I made from scraps. My Mom and I made My Daughter's Nursery Bedding 10 years ago. I can't believe I still had all these scraps! Being in the Military and moving every 1-3 years, you tend to do away with alot of stuff. I was happy to see something that I had made with my Mom ten years ago (awesome memories).

It all started yesterday with me taking out my Sewing Machine for a quick cleaning and tuneup. I had a comforter that was in line-up for re-hemming.

Once I re-hemmed the blanket and my sewing machine was tuned up, I could not store it away and not Create a Fabric Project! I looked in my fabric scraps bin and found to my surprise sweet memories. I have many sweet memories in that bin of my Mom and I, when I lived close to her and enjoyed making lots and lots of projects together. It has been quite awhile since I made a project with fabric let alone a Blankey (as my Daughter still calls them).



I wanted to also try out a project using My Cricut IMAGINE Machine. I received some carts for this machine, but was not able to use any of those because the images did not go with the fabric. So, I used a Cart that came with the Machine Bundle: NURSERY TAILS (Lamb and Sweet Dreams). I also used the BLAST OFF Cart for the Imagine (Scalloped Blue Square).

The Moon and Stars Fabric was missing a corner and decided to add a corner made from one of My Daughter's Receiving Blankets that I had saved along with the scraps. It looked too bare, so I decided to add an Iron-On sentiment from the Nursery Tails Cart.  I thought it gave it a lil' added touch. 

I used the remaining material from the Receiving Blanket, to make it coordinate with the opposite side corner, where I added the Sweet Dreams Sentiment. Plus, it makes it a bit warmer for My Daughter's Sweet Chihuahua. Which, She is Always Chivering (Brrrrr)... especially this time of the year.

When I was done, I put it in a bag and decorated the front of it with the cut I had made with Cardstock (Image Test for Correct Size) before I printed and cut the image from an Iron-On Sheet.

My Daughter opened it this morning and quickly wrapped her Best Pal (Lucy her Chihuahua) in the small Blankey (as she calls them). Lucy seemed to like her brand new Blankey.

Thank you so Much for stopping by and glancing at my post for today. I hope everyone is doing fine after this amazing and wonderful Christmas Holiday. Enjoy this coming New Year and be safe!

Day 2 of 12 Days of Christmas- Color Challenge

My Card Entry for Robyn's My Pink Stamper. I loved this card! Funny thing is... I was listening to this Silly Song (I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas), when I was trying to figure out what to make for this Challenge. Perfect Timing to have the Christmas Songs on the Radio (Lite FM 103.7).
Here is my Entry:
