IT'S SUCH A CUTE LITTLE BOX! - Cynthia Stevenson, Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Welcome to Friday and the Stampaholic’s 10-min. challenge. Today is a 3D item and the pattern was supplied by the very talented Sandi MacIver.

Now, because it is a 3D item, we have 30 minutes to complete our project. Mine took considerably longer though. We were on holidays when I made this and I did not have all my tools with me so I raided the cupboard and found a bowl about the right size to make the circles. Then I had to cut them out with my paper snips, hence the extra time to complete the box.

OK, here we go. After tracing and cutting out the circles on cardboard(obtained from the package of Designer Paper) I traced and cut out circles from the Elegant Soiree Designer Series Paper. Then these pieces were glued securely with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (110755).

The centre piece was also cut from the cardboard and covered with the Elegant Soiree Designer Series Paper. I chose to go “tone-on-tone” for this box with just a little pop of Cherry Cobbler. The Bitty Buttons were calling out to join the fun, so they found a place as well.

So now we have a cute little box to hold a little treat for someone special.

Recipe:

Stamp Set: Teeny Tiny Wishes

Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler, Marina Mist, Very Vanilla, Elegant Soiree Designer Series Paper

Ink: Cherry Cobbler Classic

Accessories: Cereal Bowl, 5/8″ Very Vanilla Grosgrain Ribbon, 1/4″ Very Vanilla Grosgrain Ribbon, Bitty Buttons, Itty Bitty Shapes Punches, 1-3/4″ Scallop Circle Punch, 1-3/8″ Circle Punch, Curly Label Punch(for box hinge), Sticky Strip, Paper Snips

Now why don’t you give it a try yourself. Visit Sandi’s blog to download the free tutorial and then upload your creation to Mr. Linky on Carole’Anne’s blog.
