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.


          

3. Also die cut 4 blank labels for the inside of the box in brown cardstock. Glue brown labels on the inside of the box.

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":

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:

JustRite Papercraft: "Summer Words",  "Fleuriste Newsprint Background Stamp", "Shabby Music Background Stamp", "Vintage Wallpaper Background Stamp", "Elegant Fronds Background Stamp", "Heart Scroll Background Stamp",  "Friendship Blooms", "Nested Medallion Labels Dies"

Spellbinders: "Rose Creations",  "Foliage", "Square Petal Top box"

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

JustRite Papercraft May Release Day Three - On Your Special Day Tag

Hello Friends!
Today is the third day of the JustRite Papercraft May Release! The new releases we are showcasing today are two new clear stamp sets "Botanical Medallions & Banner" and "Classic Art Deco Lace Edges One", and a cling stamp "Heart Scroll Background Stamp". I love these new sets, they are so versatile and can be used for many different occasions.

For my tag, I used the new sets "Botanical Medallions & Banner" and "Classic Art Deco Lace Edges One". Look at all the beautiful images!!

To make the tag, I stamped and dry embossed the background with black embossing ink on creme cardstock using "Elegant Fronds Background Stamp". Then I stamped the border using "Classic Art Deco Lace Edges One" and die cut with coordinating die from the set "Classic Edges One" by Spellbinders.
The medallion and banner were stamped using the set "Botanical Medallions & Banner". I die cut the medallion with the coordinating die from the set "Nested Oval Medallion Labels Dies" and the banner was die cut with the new die set "Vintage Label and Banner Dies".

The flowers were stamped using the set "Botanical Medallions & Banner" also, and were colored with Copic markers. The orange doily behind the medallion was die cut using the set "Persian Motifs" by Spellbinders.
Layer the pieces together using foam tape for dimension, add some pearls in the center of the flowers, and for the bow I used black silk ribbon.

Project Supplies:

JustRite Papercraft: "Classic Art Deco Lace Edges One", "Botanical Medallions & Banner", "Elegant Fronds Background Stamp", "Classic Art Deco Lace Edges One", "Nested Oval Medallion Labels Dies"

Spellbinders Paper Arts: "Persian Motifs", "Classic Edges One"

JustRite Papercraft May Release Day Two - Thank you Candy Basket

Hello Friends!
Welcome to the second day of the JustRite Papercraft May Release!  Today, the Design Team will be showcasing two new stamp sets "Violette Vintage Labels" and "Going Places Vintage Labels", and one set of custom dies "Vintage Label & Banner Dies" designed to coordinate with JustRite cling and clear stamps.

For my project I used the new cling stamp set "Violette Vintage Labels" and the new die template set "Vintage label & Banner Dies" pictured below.

Instructions:

1. To make the basket first cut a 3  3/4 inch square with white cardstock. Score a  1/2 inch mark on 4 sides and cut the corners out.

2. Stamp 4 of the smaller label from the cling stamp set "Violette Vintage Labels" on white cardstock and die cut with coordinating die from the set "Vintage label & Banner Dies".  Also die cut 4 blank labels for the inside of the box. 

For the handle, stamp border using "Classic Lace Edges One". The handle is about 11 inches long, so you need to stamp the border twice and glue ends by overlapping one scallop. Die cut border on both sides with Edge A from the set "Classic Edges One" by Spellbinders.

3. Color the 4 labels and basket handle with Copic markers. For the flowers I used YR02, V15, V000 and RV66, for the leaves I used G21 and G85, and for the stripes I used #31. I used the same colors for the handle.
Glue the 4 labels on each side of the square just before the crease line as picture below shows.

4. Cut 4 ribbons measuring about 18 inches each. Center ribbons on the back side and secure with tape on the top edge of labels making sure the ribbons touch the corners. Then glue blank labels on top covering the ribbons. See picture below.

This is how the back should look after you glue all 4 labels.

This is the front side of the basket.

5. To form the basket tie a knot in each corner and then make a bow. Attach handle to the sides with strong tape or glue. I die cut 2 extra blank labels to cover the handle inside the basket. 

For the sentiment "Thank you" I used the set "Spring Words" and the flowers are from the set "Violette Vintage Labels" also. Die cut a circle around the sentiment using  "Standard Circles Small" by Spellbinders and the scalloped circle behind is die cut using "Lacey Circles" by Spellbinders.

Attach pearls to flowers and handle.

Here is the finished project.

I hope you are inspired to make this basket, it does not take that long and having the coordinating dies for the images makes it really easy to cut and assemble the basket.

Project Supplies:

JustRite Papercraft products: "Violette Vintage Labels", "Vintage label & Banner Dies", "Classic Lace Edges One", "Spring Words"

Spellbinders Paper Arts: "Classic Edges One", "Lacey Circles", "Standard Circles Small"

Other Supplies: white cardstock, Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad, May Arts silk ribbon, white pearls.
