Baby Buggie Card Share

Author: July 29, 2009 2 Comments

Baby Buggie CardOk, now here is the card that I wanted to share that totally matches the baby box that I shared yesterday!  Is it too cute or what?? I LOVE it!  The idea came from I card I recieved from Sandy Hancock at our last quarterly meeting! 

Recipe for Card:

Stamp Set:
Ink: Basic Black
Cardstock: Whisper White, So Saffron & SAB Designer Series paper
Accessories: Big Shot, Scallop Circle Die, White taffeta Ribbon, 1' and 3/4 " circle punches, trio flower punch, eyelet border punch, 1/4' punch (retired)

The only tricky part was taking the cardstock and lining it up to the edge of the Scallop Circle Die.  Next one I'll put it just a little bit closer. But just play around with it. Super fun to make and How cute the buggie!

DSC02605

Here they are together! I would so wrap the box in cellophane and tye a ribbon on the top and add a tag! : )

Now for the box…I just cut a piece of cardstock 3 1/8 x 8 1/2. Scored at 2 1/4 on the 8 1/2 side. Make 2 of them one for each box. Use your Wide Oval Punch or any other punch you may  have to make the handle.  Do one at time as the Cardstock is to thick to go through both of them. I also used sticky strip to attach to the boxes.

Anyway, Ill have some more ideas I'm sure when I get back from Convention. Any questions please don't hesitate to ask.  I'll have a sneak peek of my Convention Swaps tomorrow..I'm editing the photos tonight.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stampin',

Baby Fancy Favor Box

Author: July 28, 2009 2 Comments

Fancy favor Baby box

Ok, talk about cute and fun and easy! I LOVE how this box came out.

I used the SAB Designer paper to play around with this idea.  Which I have to say my  inspiration came from Julia Bettencourt!  She was playing around with the Scallop Bag Die. 

Anyway, so I was playing around with this and came up with this box.  See below for the side view and the back view.

Tomorrow I'll share how I did this so come back as I'll also have another share with it. Just to cute!

I've also been working on Swaps…sneek peak soon…

Fancy Favor Baby box side Fancy favor baby box back
Is this too cute or what? Inside I put baby powder and a crocheted hat, then I've got little mittens and 4 baby washclothes.  This is perfect for those tiny little baby accessories.

Fancy Favor Boxes
Happy Monday! I sure hope your week is starting out great!  Mine? Oh, yes stamping away that's for sure!

Ok, so for my share today I have been playing with my New Bigz XL Fancy Favor Box Die! Oh My….I LOVE it.  Here is 3 different ways to make up this Super Duper easy box. I'm sure there is more but here are the ones I did.

I am really loving the first one with the Circle in the front of it. I used the 1 3/4 circle punch for that one.  Oh, all the cute little goodies that can fit inside these boxes.  How fun!!! Wait til you see tomorrows share!!  Oh my..let's just say I was on a roll and I couldn't stop!  If you have any quesitons on what was used here please let me know.

As always thanks for stopping by and Happy Stampin',
