JustRite Papercraft July Release - Poinsettia Gift Box

Hello Friends!
Welcome to the JustRite Papercraft July Release!! Today, we are showcasing a beautiful flower and sentiment set of 16 clear stamps called Festive Poinsettia, which coordinates with Spellbinders Layered Poinsettia die set. Also, Grand Christmas Sentiments, a set of 8 cling stamps, perfect for the Holidays.

These are the JustRite sets I used to make this Christmas gift box:

          

These are the Spellbinders dies I used to make the Layered Poinsettia and Square Petal Top Box:

      


I started by die cutting the gift box using Spellbinders Square Petal Top Box die. For a complete tutorial on how to make this gift box go HERE. 
For this project, I stamped the Festive Poinsettia flowers on natural white cardstock with black ink, die cut with coordinating dies from Spellbinders Layered Poinsettia die set and colored with distress inks.
I stamped the sides for the box using the new gorgeous Christmas Holly Stripes Background Stamp that will be released in August. I cut 4 rectangles measuring 2 1/2" x 1 1/4", colored with Copic markers and then adhered to box sides.
I stamped the sentiment using Grand Christmas Sentiments and die cut it with the smallest die from Vintage Label Two Die set. I attached the sentiment to the center of the poinsettia using a memo pin.
The bow was made with seam binding ribbon from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.

I am very excited to share with you my first post as a Guest Spellblogger for Spellbinders Paper Arts. The theme this week at Spellbinders Blog is Gift Boxes. Last year Spellbinders introduced several box die templates, these dies are very versatile, you can create small gift boxes in minutes! All the work is in the die templates.
For my project I used the Square Petal Top Box die template. To see the complete project with more photos and instructions, please go to the "Spellbinders Blog".

Graphic 45 "Random Crafts of Kindness Week" Candy Box

Hello Friends!
I was inspired to make this box by Graphic 45 "Random Crafts of Kindness Week". I will be surprising one of my friends with this Candy Box. I made this box using  Graphic 45  paper collection "Once Upon a Springtime". I love this paper collection, it reminds me of my two daughters when they were little girls.

I die cut and embossed the box using the "Square Petal Top Box" die template by Spellbinders. The flowers were die cut and embossed with the "Anemone Flower Topper" die template by Spellbinders. I designed both die templates for Spellbinders last year, it is so exciting to see them in craft stores. These boxes are so easy to make, all the work is in the dies.
Please go to this "Link" to see my tutorial on how to make this box and flower, or scroll down to see my previous post.

To cover the Hershey's Nuggets, cut strips of paper measuring 3 x 1 inches. Wrap around Nuggets and secure with tape.

Valentine's Card in the Square Petal Top Box by Spellbinders

Hello Friends!
Today, I have a tutorial on how to make the Square Petal Top Box by Spellbinders and a fold out card that fits inside the box. The box is very easy to make, all the work is in the die template.

To make the box, die-cut and emboss the Square Petal Top Box die template on red card stock by running it through the Grand Calibur  die cutting machine by Spellbinders.

I prefer to put the card stock on the Cutting Plate first, then lay the die "cut side down" on the paper, and then put the Base Plate on top.

The embossing step here is very important because it creates the folding lines of the box. Notice that to emboss, the die is "cut side up" under the Embossing Mat, followed by the Embossing Plate. See picture below.

The next step is optional if you would like to emboss the card stock for extra texture. After cutting the box, leave the paper in the die and lay the die "cut side up" on top of the Grand Impressabilities Template, Fancy Flourish.

I like to distress the embossed areas with Tim Holtz Distress Ink for more contrast.

To assemble the box, follow the embossed  folding lines, use very strong adhesive on folding tabs. I also added  patterned paper on each side. Each rectangle measures 2  1/2  x  1  1/8  inches. 

To make the pull out card, I used the Heart Squares dies templates by Spellbinders. I die-cut 4 heart squares, second die from largest, which fits perfect in the box. I also die-cut 1 large heart square for the box base.

For the patterned paper, I cut 4 squares measuring 2 x 2 inches and 1 square measuring 3 x 3 inches.

For the word Love, I die-cut the letters with Donna's Alphas . I also embossed them as I did with the box.

To assemble the card, I layered the patterned paper on the heart squares with double stick tape. For the top heart squares, I die-cut 4 heart squares, second smallest die, and the patterned paper squares measure 1  1/4  x  1  1/4 inch. Layer the pieces with foam dots for extra dimension.

I used ribbon to join the heart squares together as picture below shows. 

To make the flower, die-cut flower with Anemone Flower Topper die template by Spellbinders.

Curl petals with a bone folder.

Layer flowers with foam dots and use self-stick pearls for the center of the flower. Attach  finished flower to ribbon at the top of card.

This is the finished card which folds down accordion style to fit in the box. Close the box by folding down the box top petals in a clockwise pattern, tucking the last petal under. The flower stays outside the box resting on top.
