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.

Happy Saturday!

Just 4 You box Hello all! Ok, so as I mentioned yesterday I am going to be sharing this Super Cute and Fun box! 

I will also be working on a video for it too and a PDF File unless I can do a mini tutorial. Might be to many photos. I'm working on a few other videos also.

Everything used here is retired expect the stamp set and the punches.

Just 4 you box open I LOVE the Bella Rose Paper and I have lots of it! ; ) Anyway, this box was inspired last weekend as I was making my Chili Cheese Dip for the catalog party I had. I was tossing the cream cheese that I use and glimpsed that box and thought HMMMM….well i took it apart fixed the measurements a bit and this is what I got!

It is the perfect sized box for that Chocolates of course or that bracelet and earring set etc. It's super easy to make! Well as always if you have any questions don't hesitate to email or cal me.

Page Corner Book-marker Mini Tutorial

Ok, here it is as promised!  Let me know if you have any questions at all! I have to warn  you these are super addicting.  I found the pattern in our monthly Stampin' Success Magazine we get and I just adjusted the measurements just to make it that much more easier.  Enjoy!

Pgcbm-1
First you'll want to start with a 4 x 4 sheet of cardstock. Want it smaller? Just adjust the size..I also did one 3 x 3 which came out cute for your smaller paperback books.

Mark 3 sides with a little dot in the center. In this sample I marked at 2 inches.

Pgcbm-2

Now you are going to take your ruler and bone folder and make a score line from the center of to the side.

You can also use your Paper Cutter for this part too.  Just make sure you put your scoring tool in there or use you bone folder.

Pgcbm-3
Now fold down both sides and this is how your piece will look.

Now I added a piece of cardstock to cover the line in the back.

To do this I just measured the part that was just scored and for this 4 x 4 size I got 2 3/4, so cut a square 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 and cut in half.

Pgcbm-4

You will have this triangle piece and you'll then put adhesive on the back of it and place it on top of the book marker.

Make sure that if you end up with a gap where the cardstock meets, you want to make sure that you don't get any adhesive on the inside where the page will go.

Pgcbm-5
Here is what the finished piece looks like after you place the triangle part on it.

See no line! Love this cute little project. Perfect for school age kids and Great Teacher Gifts too!

This Box I made out of 1 sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of cardstock! Using the whole thing no leftover pieces.  Woo Hoo! I will be making a Video of this when I return.  I was trying to make a step by step before I left but I just ran out of time…I mean with my Birthday and all!

 Anyway, this can be used for any Occassion….birthday, baby shower, etc….So I hope you like it and Thanks for stopping by!

Easter Box Side 

Here is a side view of the box. All supplies I used are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.  Of course I used Stampin' Up's "A Good Egg Set" I just LOVE this set! Not that anyone could tell! The box is pretty deep you can't tell from the photo but it is about 4' deep.

Ok, so stay tuned for the video on how to make this box.
