Happy Father's Day Candy Box

Hello Friends!
Today I would like to share with you these candy boxes that I made in no time, all the work is in the stamp and coordinating die. The beautiful stamp is from the new set Going Places Vintage Labels by JustRite Papercraft, it is perfect for Father's Day, graduations, and other occasions. The coordinating JustRite die is from the new set Vintage Label & Banner Dies, this die template set is custom designed by Spellbinders.






Here are the easy instructions on how to make the smaller box:

1. To make the box, first cut a 3  3/4" square base with beige cardstock. Score a 1/2" mark on 4 sides and cut the corners out.




2. Stamp 4 of the smaller label from the cling stamp set Going Places Vintage Labels on beige cardstock using brown ink. Die cut using coordinating die from the set Vintage Label & Banner Dies by running it through the Grand Calibur machine by Spellbinders. Glue the 4 labels on each side of the square just before the crease line as picture below shows.

4. Color image using Copic markers. Punch small holes on each corner as picture below shows.





5. To form the basket, tie a bow in each corner using Crafter's Cord. For the tag, I used the Happy Father's Day stamp from the new set Anchors Away and die cut it with Nested Medallion Labels by JustRite Papercraft. 
For the larger box, use the larger label stamp in the set and cut the square base 4 3/4" and then follow the same steps.

JustRite Papercraft May Release Day Four - Thinking of You Gift Box

Hello Friends!
Today is the final day of the JustRite May Release. The Stamp Set released today is "Summer Words", I love this set, it has great sentiments for your summer special events. I decided to make a gift box that could be used for a girl's graduation, birthday or any other occasion.



Here is the new May Release stamp set "Summer Words":

Welcome to Justrite Stampers | Free card making idea with supply lists, scrapbooking and craft ideas with rubber stamps, clear stamps and cling stamps | Secure ordering online. | Ships in 24 hours.

I started out by making the flowers first. I stamped five different backgrounds on ivory card stock with Distress Inks in several brown tones. JustRite has great background stamps which allow you to create your own pattern paper!! These are the background  stamps I used: "Fleuriste Newsprint Background Stamp", "Shabby Music Background Stamp", "Vintage Wallpaper Background Stamp", "Elegant Fronds Background Stamp", and the new just realeased "Heart Scroll Background Stamp".


To die cut the flowers and leaves I used the die sets "Rose Creations" and "Foliage" by Spellbinders.


I used different backgrounds for the flowers to achieve more texture and dimension. Shape the petals and then layer them with foam dots to make the flowers.


I die cut and embossed the box using "Square Petal Top box" die template by Spellbinders with kraft card stock. To see a complete tutorial on how to make this box go to this "Link".




For the sentiment I stamped Thinking of You from the set "Summer Words" on ivory card stock with Memento Rich Cocoa ink. For the frame behind the sentiment I used "Friendship Blooms" and I die cut it with JustRite custom design die template "Nested Medallion Labels Dies". Assemble all the pieces together as pictured below and attach to a memo pin.



I hope I have inspired you to use JustRite background stamps to make your own pattern papers! Here is another picture of  the final project:


Project Supplies:

Other Products: Ivory and Kraft card stock, Memento Rich Cocoa Ink, Ranger Distress Inks, Memo Pin, Foam Dots, Tape
