Wrap Around Box Projects with Mona and Franci

Hi crafty friends! It's Mona here, today I am showing you a clear box filled with yummy jelly beans. For this project I used the new Wrap Around Box die.

I started the card making with die-cutting. I run the largest die from the Wrap Around Box set through my die-cut machine and made four pieces of acetate die-cuts and adhered them together with double sided adhesive.

Next, I made four circles from the Surprise Party patterned paper and four parts from white cardstock to the top and styled my box. I also made sweet and cute tiny tags with the die-set.

In the end I stamped and colored sweet figures from the Coastal Cuties stamp set and my candy box was ready.

Hello there and happy Wednesday! Franci here with you today showcasing the new Wrap Around Box. I'm totally in love with this new die, the box fits quite a lot inside and the mechanism at the top to close/ open it makes it so original!

To assemble the box you have to die cut the main piece 4 times and I went for a lilac cardstock. You can die cut it from pattern paper or create your own decorated paper and then die cut the box out of it :)

I glued everything together and then I die cut the stitched rectangle little panel included in the set 3 times (2 out of white cardstock and 1 out of some light brown cardstock).

I stamped all the images from the new Fabulous Flamingos set, colored them with my Copics and die cut them with their coordinated dies. Then I die cut out all the elements I needed to set my scene using the Catch a Wave dies for the ocean and the Woodland Borders dies for my sandy hill; I colored them with Distress inks and I glued them down.

Finally I adhered all the images with a combo of liquid glue and foam adhesive, I die cut the little banner, stamped my sentiment and added some more tropical leaves at the top. A little silver twine bow to finish my tag and this little tropical gift box is ready!

I'm so happy about how it turned out and I hope you like it too :) Thanks a lot for stopping by today!

Surprise Party Paper Cards with Angelica and Juliana

Hi everyone! Angelica here, and I have a fun project to share today. I LOVE the Surprise Party paper pack. Every paper is so vibrant! They're double sided, filled with bright celebration patterns on one side, and tone-on-tone patterns on the back. I used the tone-on-tone sides for my card today.

I stamped five 2-layered star balloons from the Bold Balloons Stamp set.  I used the coordinating die to cut them out, then added shimmer and Crystal Glaze for shine.

On the top side of a horizontal 8.5 X 4.25 card base, I stamped confetti from the same stamp set. Next I positioned the balloons where I wanted them on the card base, and marked their spots. I used a multiliner pen and a T-ruler to draw balloon strings from the marked spots to the middle of the card base.

I cut a thin strip of black card stock, and glued it where the balloon strings stopped. I used the Happy die to die cut black card stock 4 times, then stacked and glued them for height. I cut 3/8 inch strips of pattern paper, then glued the strips under the black line, using a grid to keep my strips straight.

Once the balloons were dry, I adhered them with foam adhesive. I used glue to attach the die cut word, then added shimmer and Crystal glaze to match the balloons. I picked words from Happy Thoughts stamp set to stamp and white heat-emboss onto black card stock. I trimmed the words down to strips, and attached them to the card with thin foam squares.

I hope I have helped you with ideas on how to incorporate pattern papers to your cards. That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Friends! It's Juliana here and I'm very happy to back with you this week after taking a break last week for our move into our new home! Today I'm sharing a birthday themed gift box featuring the Wrap Around Box Dies, Silly Sloths Stamps and the Surprise Party Paper Pad!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Surprise Party Paper Bold Balloons Happy Thoughts Silly Sloths Wrap Around Box Dies Birthday Card Birthday Gift Box by Angelica Conrad and Juliana Michaels

To create the box, I used the Wrap Around Box Dies and I followed the wonderful instructions found in this blog post. I began with a solid piece of teal cardstock. I then used some of the fun patterns from the Surprise Party Paper Pad to decorate each side of the box. For the oval frames, I used the plain stitched oval in the Fancy Frames Oval Dies.

Once the box was complete, I started stamping the adorable sloths and leaves from the Silly Sloths Stamps. I colored them in using Copic Markers and then die cut them using the Silly Sloths Dies. After all of the coloring and die cutting was complete, I began adding a sloth and some leaves to each section to create a little scene.

Because I wanted this to be a birthday gift box, I knew those cute little sloths needed some party hats! The adorable Party Pups Stamps had just what I needed and they fit the sloths perfectly! Another option for party hats can also be found on the Purrfect Birthday Stamps.

To finish off the gift box, I created 2 small tags using the tag dies that are part of the Wrap Around Box Dies. I stamped Happy Birthday on one of them using “happy” from the Fabulous Flamingos Stamps and “birthday” from the Silly Sloths Stamps.

Originally, I only had the one tag with the sentiment, but then I saw those cute sloth faces and knew it would fit perfectly on one of those tags.

To adhere the tags, I added a length of yellow craft floss to each tag. I dropped the ends of the floss into the box opening and once I had the tags hanging out as far as I wanted them, I adhered them in place with a bit of adhesive and then trimmed off the excess floss.

Catch A Wave Die Cards with Leanne and Eloise

Hi there! Leanne here and I have a tall portrait style card to share that features a layered ocean scene I created with the help of the new Catch a Wave dies. I used images from Magical Mermaids and Oceans of Joy to tuck into the wave layers to make this into a fun, whimsical birthday card for my niece.

I started with a card base that measures 8 inches tall by 4 inches wide. With a round blending sponge and Wild Honey Distress Oxide ink, I added a sun to the top of the card. I then lightly blended some Tumbled Glass ink around the sun. To create the wave layers I die cut some aqua glitter card stock and a custom colored panel of card stock with the Catch a Wave dies.

The custom colored card stock was created with an ink smooshing technique using Mermaid Lagoon, Cracked Pistachio, and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Inks then splattered with thinned white paint. Once I had enough die cut layers, I adhered the waves onto the card base, alternating the glitter and ink smooshed card stock.

I Copic colored several images to tuck into the wave layers. The two mermaids, seahorse, starfish, and rock are from Magical Mermaids. The sea turtle and fish are from Oceans of JoyI used Glue Dots to adhere the images. I find that Glue Dots stick well to the textured glitter card stock. I silver heat embossed a birthday greeting from the Magical Mermaids stamp set. Lastly as a little touch of embellishment, I added some clear sequins randomly around the scene. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi friends, Eloise here and today we are using the new Catch A Wave Dies. I paired this with the new Best Fishes Stamp Set to create this diagonal under the sea design.

I started off with stamping my images, colouring them with Copic Markers and then cutting them out. I then used the Catch A Wave Dies to cut a border from a piece of watercolour cardstock. I made sure to die cut it at an angle, as well.

(Copic Markers Used: BG10, BG11, BG13, BG49 / YG61, YG63, YG67, G28 / E41, E42, E43, E44 / Y11, Y13, Y15, Y18 / YR00, YR02, YR12, YR18 / Y21, YR21, YR23, YR24 / YG01, YG23, YG07, YG17 / RV21, RV23, RV25, RV29 / C0, C1, C3, C5 / W00, W0, W1, W3, W5, W7, W9 / 0 / R30)

I then used some blue Distress Oxide Inks and ink blended onto the wave piece. I then took some brown Distress Oxide Inks and did the same to a small sand bank piece I created with scissors. I splattered on some water, dried it off with a heat tool and adhered the two together. I then cut the bottom of the panel at an angle to match the top with my trimmer.

(Distress Oxide Inks Used: Peacock Feathers, Mermaid Lagoon, Salty Ocean / Scattered Straw, Gathered Twigs)

I then arranged my images over the top of my ink blended panel and adhered them down into place. I added foam tape onto the back of my panel and adhered it down to a white card base and then stamped the ‘Best Fishes’ sentiment at an angle using a stamp positioning tool.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I’ll see you next time.
