Pink Embossed Top Box

Hello Crafters:0)  Saturday has come around again and that means you get to hear from Me for my Crafter's Companion weekly post!

Today I am here to share a project that does not have any coloring in it ***gasp***; in fact; it doesn't even have an image **double gasp**! I have made this cute little box for a crafty friend. SO Maria if your are seeing this TURN AWAY NOW!! LOL:0) I was hoping to have given it to her before posting but really doubt that will happen. Well at least the goodies inside can be a mystery:0)

I have made this box using The Ultimate Tool to score but the real magic in this box is the beautifully embossed top. I have used one of the new 8x8 embossing folders Regency Damask.

 Here is a closer look at my decorated top.

 And a bit of slanted view. The lace band has some elastic on it so it can easily get fulled off so that the top can come off and the decorated top can stay in place.

 Here is a closer look at the embossed detail. I have sanded down the paper so that the detail can be a bit more noticeable and then I have coated it with Glimmer Glaze for a couple of reasons. 1. To make the paper a bit more sturdy; 2. To make it prettier:0)

Do you like my backdrop? I couldn't find a clear place to take my pictures so I have used my chair:0) I LOVE my chair; not only is it  an awesome print but it is also super comfy!

I would like to enter my box into the following challenges:

Fussy and Fancy - Anything Goes
Poodles Parlour - Anything Goes
Anything But A Card Challenge - Always anything but a card
4 Crafty Chicks - Dry embossing
It's All About the Vintage - Embossing
Hope you liked my creation today; have a wonderful weekend.

Beatrix Potter Mini Boxes

Hello All! Today I am here to share two tiny boxes that I have made for Crafter's Companion Informational Blog:0) These are small treat or gift boxes they were so super easy and fast to make yet they look so cute.

Silver bling and pearls to accompany the silver toned topper.

 Here is the brown one.

 Hello ALL! Tis Tuesday and that means it is time for a new challenge over at Top Tip Tuesday.

Treat of a Book!

For this week I have decided to not make a card but instead work with a TREAT.
We are doing a Halloween party this Friday and I thought it would be nice to make little treat boxes for each kid. Here is the first small lot; I plan on making at least 20.

Here is a closer look; I have put stickers from Hallmark on the plastic bag that has candy corn on the inside and tied it with bakers twine. Then I have used wired ribbon to hold the box together and instead of tying into a bow I have curled the ribbon. Next added the tag/bingo I got as a freebies from ArtiCrafts by Rebecca. The papers are from Fancy Pants Designs 6x6 pack. I am determined to use all of the stack up so that I can buy more next year...great way to look ahead and justify future spending:0) I also added a cutout embellishment from a scrapbooking kit. A few pearls and bling and a black button finish it off. These came together quite quickly and will be finishing up the rest as soon as I get more candy.

Here is a side view of the triangle box. I have cut the paper down to 5x6 so that it leaves some room on the top for the bag to poke out. Now if you have not seen how to make these type of boxes you can take a look HERE. I have changed my measurements to fit my needs. Also my TIP is instead of marking my paper with pencil I have just made small marks with my score tool. Then used those marks to make my future scores. To make my marks easier to find I flip my paper over and score on the blank side of my paper.

Chocolate Box Tilda

Today I would like to share something that I made as a thank you gift. It is a little triangle box filled with Hershey kisses. This little box came together quite quickly; since I had the inspiration from of my favorite challenges. The colors were chosen from TOMIC Challenge # 15 ~ Chocolate and brown & cream

using a cooking image. With my coloring I tried doing the high contrast to join the icopic challenge.

 Here is bit of a side view of the box; I used acrylic paint with my clear stamps to make the thank you design on both of the side panels. I really enjoyed doing this; it is part of the Make It Monday #32: Stamping with Acrylic Paint will def do it again! Papers are from PTI including my stamping paper:0)

Here is a closeup of the image and you can also see my flower bunch; just added a bunch of different ones from my stash; oh and I had to add a wooden button! I love this Tilda; she is just way too cute with that wooden spoon!

I would also like to join in the following challenges:

Hope you have an awesome day; and thanks for stopping by!

Purple Easel BOX

Okay so I am totally addicted to making these little boxes. They are so easy and fun to make I just cant stop; I have made 4 now; one for my son to paint on, one left to finish off later, and this is the second one shown on my blog. For the tutorial follow THIS link; it will take you to Top Tip Tuesday.  I have used cheap watercolor paper for my base and I really like it. My image is Melissa Fairy from Paper Makeup Stamps; ain't she a cutie? And she is on sale! I would highly recommend visiting this web store and checking out all of the super cute stamps; they are so affordable and such good quality you just can't pass up! Oh and our release was yesterday so if you do the hop you can collect a discount phrase that will give you 15% off your entire order. How can you beat that!?! Discount on top or really great prices! Oh and shipping is so reasonable; I am truly happy that I found PMS and so fortunate to be on the DT!

Okay so back to my card/project; I made this for the Makeover Challenge which is Back to School; you  have a week to enter so check it out HERE.

 Here is a bit of a side view of the box; as you can see I have used up scraps from my PTI paper. I have kept it fairly simple only adding a bit of embellishments here and there; but I feel they get the job done. I have added two buttons I have been hording! They are so sparkly and pretty in real life.

 I have made these 3 corner bookmarks to go into the box; this project is more like for a college student going back to school or even as a gift for a teacher.

 Before I go I would like to remind you this week we are celebrating Top Tip Tuesday turning ONE; so there is a whole lot of prizes to be won(about £200 worth)!
