K-Cup Holder

Hello!  I an sharing a gift box that I made for holding Pumpkin Spice Coffee K-cups.  I used my Cameo to cut the elements from Orange CS and  Heartful Creations Patterned Papers from Classic Editions Collection but did not use dotted lines for folds(erased those before cutting design). I used Scor-pal to create scoring for fold lines.  The design was 3D coffee cup gift set by Jamie Lane Designs. Use double sided tape to assemble. Fussy cut pumpkins from pattern paper for the top.

Christmas Gift

Hello!  Christmas is almost here.  Taking time out to make a card for the Mix It Up Monday challenge at Stamp TV.  Cat asked us to be inspired by a box of candy (shown below) to make a project.   I decided to make a box for my card using DCWV red foil card stock.  I stamped the box lid from GKD Beyond Baskets 2 with Versamark and heat embossed with Gold EP.  This was tricky since the foil tends to curl up with the heat, just be careful. I fussy cut the lid adding a box.  I then heat embossed gold snowflakes on the box and added die cut white snowflakes taking my cue from the inspiration photo.  Snowflake stamps and dies were from GKD Merry & Bright kit.  I stamped the tag and sentiment using more stamps from Beyond Baskets 2 and attached it with narrow red satin ribbon to the gift.  Used a layer of GKD Metallic Gold CS that was embossed with Darice Snowflake EF for the background.  Used White Glossy CS as the base to keep all layers shiny.

I must say I was quite pleased with the way this card turned out.

Gift Box for a Tag

Hello!  What a frosty morning here in Ohio!  It's cold enough to make one have thoughts of Christmas.  And thinking of making tags for Christmas gifts.  I was trying to think of something different than my usual tag shape and came across a GKD stamp in Melanie's Beyond Baskets 2 - a box lid with ribbon- and decided to create a gift box as my tag.  This one measures about  3" X 3.5".  

The tag featured above was my best design using GKD Red Velvet CS using Versamark and gold EP for stamping the lid and words.  I fussy cut the top of the lid and bow and cut the paper in the shape of a box adding one score line.  Used a red velvet ribbon for this one by tying a knot in the center of the ribbon and pulling the ends through  a hole in the center of the stamped bow.   I wanted the ribbon for the tag to look like part of the bow and not just pulled through a hole. 

Another tag was made with the same Red Velvet CS but I used a Gold Metallic ribbon. See photo below.

I used GKD heavyweight white CS for the first ones I made shown below. These were stamped with Memento red ink.  I colored the ribbon on one with red Copics and added some sparkle with Clear Star pen.  On the second white one I stamped the ribbon and bow on the Red CS and fussy cut and  attached to the white box. Used ribbons of Red Organza with Gold Thread and Gold Organza. 

Sentiment stamp is from Joyful Holiday and To and From stamps also from Beyond Basket 2.

Note: I won the Beyond Baskets 2 Set from Melanie some time ago.

Gift Boxes with Winter Theme

Stack of 5 Gift Boxes

 Second Post today.
I am back with another last minute Christmas project.  I made these boxes that can be used for cash, gift cards or even lottery tickets using a Silhouette cut file.  I made 5 to be used for cash and found they also can hold some candy beneath the insert. I cut the bands and inserts from red CS using the Cameo.  I cut a pattern for the box and cover and then cut them manually to better use the paper and I like to score these parts using my Scor-pal.  The top panel was printed but could have been stamped just as well but I did the quickest way.  I used Sizzix die to cut Snowflakes from Silver Metallic CS to finish.

I used dollars bills for the photo but plan to  fill with larger denominations.

Challenges:
Scor-Pal Challenge: Monthly challenge is anything goes with your Scor-Pal using more than one score.  The boxes and covers were scored with several scores.
