Doggy Curvy Keepsake Box – Stampin’ Up!

I’ve this super cute doggy curvy keepsake box. I’ve not used the mini curvy keepsake box much and decided this was the perfect time for it’s revival.

I love how this has turned out. The little doggie image is from the Playful Pets Designer Series Paper. It matches the Pets dies which not only cut out a cat and dog image from the DSP but of course the matching stamp set. How cool is that!!

Here is the cat version of the box. I am more a cat person that a dog person but do love both. In regards these cute boxes I do prefer how the dog one turned out. Which do you prefer?

The curvy keepsake box is made from half a sheet of A4 cardstock. The colour I’ve used here is real red as it matches the colour in the Playful Pets DSP. These boxes are so dinky and they would be perfect to hold a little gift. I was thinking of a little dog or cat charm to add to a charm bracelet for a special someone.

Flower Box – Cute little Birthday Gift Box

Hello again, I’m back with this cute little gift box to share with you. I love the Flowers for Every Season designer series paper (DSP). It is so pretty on this cute little flower box. I’ve already bought two packs of it!!

The overriding colour here is Misty Moonlight. It is one of the new 20-22 in-colours and fast becoming a personal favourite. These boxes are super easy to make. It is my mother’s birthday next week and I think I will be using them to put a few little gifts in. We can’t go out to eat as both of us are considered clinical vulnerable and to be honest, are too scared to go to a restaurant. I want to make the day special through some handmade items though.

measurements

Misty Moonlight – 6 7/16″ x 6 7/16″ score at 1 1/2″ on each side
Flowers for Every Season – 6″ X 6″, score at 1 1/4″ on each side

Other projects

I love working with this DSP and I’m so glad that I have the whole next year to make projects with it. I really want to start on my mini album using this paper. It will be to show off all the beautiful photos of the flowers in our own garden and those I see in surrounding villages on my travels.

Thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoyed this project. I would love to see your creations as well. As always there is a video tutorial and supply list below. Until next time, Keep Being Creative!!

Poppy Birthday Box – Peaceful Poppies

This poppy birthday box is a coordinating piece to the birthday card I posted below. I’ve used different patterns from the Peaceful Poppies designer series paper (DSP) to make this box. I think it turned out super cute. What do you think?

I especially love the pattern above with the red poppies against the blue background. It is so pretty. I’ve always thought blue and red go very well together.

The sentiment used here is the same as the card I posted on Wednesday. The stamp set is Peaceful Moments and has some great sentiments. I’ve used the circle punches so that you need no dies to make this box.

Poppy Parade – 8″ X 8″ scored at 2″ on all sides
Peaceful Poppies DSP – 7 1/16″ X 7 1/16″ scored at 1 1/2″ on all sides

I’ve made this box before using the Magnolia Lane DSP and Mossy Meadow cardstock last year and thought I would make it again. It is a very simple and easy box to make and can be made in bulk easily. I also must say I love the Poppy Parade textured weave ribbon. I have a few reels of it and just have not been using it so I want to change that too.

Maltesers Box – From My Heart – Stampin’ Up!

This box turns a simple box of Maltesers into something special. It is very easy to make and the paper does all the talking.

Malteser Box - From My Heart - Stampin' Up! — Maltesers Box – From My Heart – Stampin’ Up!

As I said this is a great way to jazz up a box of Maltesers. I’ve used the From My Heart Designer Series Paper (DSP). It is a great paper for Valentines’Day but also for any occasion when you want to celebrate someone. I love the foiling on each sheet which adds a touch of luxury.

The box is made in the style of a pizza box from one sheet of 12″ x 12″ paper. This includes the belly band. I would love to send this to an old school friend of mine in Sydney but I don’t think it would hold up in the post so I will have to send it via this blog.

measurements

From My Heart DSP – 11 1/2″ x 8 3/4″ Scored at:
- 1 1/2″, 5″, 61/2, 10″ on the 11 1/2 side

Golden Honey Bee Box – Stampin’ Up!

I have this gorgeous little side opening gift box to share with you today. This uses the Golden Honey Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the Sale-a-bration catalogue.

This paper is gorgeous. It is black and white with gold foiling on one side. It is very elegant. The black and white side is perfect for male cards. This paper coordinates with Honey Bee Bundle in the new catalogue.

This box is a cute side opening box. The sentiment is simple and I heat embossed it with gold embossing powder to match the paper. It is punched out using the Label Me Fancy punch which actually can punch not just the shape but also the hole for the twine.

Measurements

Golden Honey DSP – 7″ X 8 1/2″
- Scored on 8 1/2″ side at 1″, 4″, 5″, 8″
- Scored on 7″ side at 1″, 2″, 6″

This box can be stored flat if you don’t seal the base and therefore take up little storage space. I’ve used two different patterns here. Which one do you prefer?

Card Storage Box – Made from Chipboard

I have a card storage box to share with you today. This storage box is extra sturdy as it is made from chipboard as opposed to cardstock. This means it will last longer and can hold lots more. This box is also perfect to store your stickers, embossing folders and if you widen it even your dies!!!

The box is held together with 1-inch binding strips of cardstock. They act as bias binding, holding all the pieces together. I have put strips on the inside and outside of the box for extra stability. The chipboard is black so doesn’t need to be wrapped or covered in additional cardstock. I purchased the chipboard online.

The box is decorated using the Toile and Tidings Designer Series Paper. This paper is real red on one side and garden green on the other. The background colour is actually Very Vanilla and not Whisper White. This gives the paper a great vintage feel

My initial sample had slope sides above but when I filmed the video I forgot to angle my sides and so they ended up straight. Which do you prefer? let me know in the comments below.

I am really enjoying making projects with chipboard and have many more ideas in the pipeline. Sometimes I think we can get bored of cardmaking. It is good to expand our creativeness and take ourselves out of our comfort zone.

The video is quite long but this project does take longer to make than a card. Some parts of the video have been sped up but you can slow them down again on YouTube if you want to see it in real-time. The supply list is below as always.

Thank you for visiting and I hope you liked this project as much as I enjoyed making it. Until next time Enjoy Being Creative!!

Little Critters, Penguin & Deer – Curvy Keepsake Box

I love these little critters that have been made from the curvy keepsake box. These are the perfect size for Christmas decorations to hang on the tree. They are also great for a little after-dinner chocolate.

I think these are just beyond cute. When the large curvy keepsake box was in the catalogue I made these with my London card club group and they were a hit. One lady in a primary school teacher and made cut out these for her pupils to make. They are easy to put together as they require no glue. You cut out the shape once with the die and then just fold it closed. Kids can decorate them however they wish.

I love the idea of making little critters with these boxes. You could equally make Father Christmas or Elves from these boxes. You are only limited by your imagination. I have used various punches to create eyes, feet and such like here.

Large Gift Box Tutorial – Brightly Gleaming

I have this gorgeous large gift box to share with you today. This uses the Brightly Gleaming Speciality Designer Series Paper (DSP). This is a very good size box, perfect to house a present for a special someone.

The Brightly Gleaming DSP is gorgeous. One side of each sheet has copper foiling. I have used two different designs here to give you options when making this box. This box measures 6″ X 4″ X 2″. This paper is part of the Brightly Gleaming suite of products that includes the Christmas Gleaming stamp set and two ornament punches.

The bauble and sentiment have been heat embossed with copper embossing powder to match the paper and copper foil sheet. I love the way all the colours co-ordinate in the paper, inks and ribbon.

The strip of Very Vanilla is the full length of an A4 sheet but was still too short as this is a large gift box. I had to add in an extra little piece that is hidden on the bottom of the box.

Mini Curvy Keepsake Box – Perfect for a Sweet Treat

Yes, that is correct, we have a Mini Curvy Keepsake Box. I’ve missed the original curvy keepsake box as I am sure you have too. It was so versatile and could be made into so Snowmen and Father Christmas but to name a few.

The mini curvy keepsake box is new in the Autumn / Winter catalogue but it is not just for Christmas. It is perfect to hold a Ferrero Rocher chocolate or to use as a place card at a table. I have made it up here in my new favourite colour, Gorgeous Grape.

It, of course, is superb for Christmas as it’s a great size to hang up on a tree as Christmas decoration. You could also make an advent tree with it. Each little box would hold a treat for each day of advent.

This box is incredibly easy to make as it requires half a sheet of cardstock to make. You can use scraps of designer series paper and ribbon to decorate. It is also a great project for kids as once the box is made they can spend hours decorating them to their heart’s content.

Cat in the Box – Cute little Gift Box

Today I have a cute little gift box perfect for any cat lover. This project features the Nine Lives stamp set from Stampin’ Up! and the matching cat punch. I love sets with punches because they make creating so easy and simple.

Cute Cat gift box using the Nine Lives stamp set and matching punch from Stampin' Up! — Cute Cat gift box using the Nine Lives stamp set and matching punch from Stampin’ Up!

I love cats but am highly allergic to many of them, especially if they have longer hair. The shorter the hair the better. When I worked in London I used to be a finance office in social services and spent a good part of my week visiting clients at home. I was walking down a street and saw this gorgeous moggy with long hair and couldn’t resist stroking it. It was a big mistake as I must have touched my eye afterwards. Within half an hour my eye closed up. YIKES!!! I, therefore, have to love them from afar.

This cute little box is made from gorgeous grape cardstock and the matching designer series paper (DSP) family packs.

measurements

Gorgeous Grape cardstock 9 x 6 inches, scored on the long side at 2, 3 1/2, 5 1/2 & 7 inches. Scored on the short side at 1 1/2 inches on either side.
Brights family pack DSP
- 2 3/4 x 1 3/4 inches x 1
- 2 3/4 x 1 1/4 inches x 1
- 1 3/4 x 1 1/4 inches x 2

The Nine Lives stamp set is a two-step stamp set which allows you to stamp the cat with different markings. This is fabulous as all cats have such different and distinctive markings. If you are a dog person there is a set called Happy Tails also with a matching punch!!!

As usual, the video tutorial is below along with the supply list. My question for today is are you more a cat person or a dog person and why? Leave me a comment below.

Until next time, Enjoy Being Creative!!!
