More projects for this months Let's Squash It!! challenge #6
- Use your floral Embossing Folders with a Box.
I've made two carton boxes for the grand daughters for Easter... decorated the sides with a floral edge from the Embossing Folder - a Papercraft Essentials magazine freebie - Meadow Flowers
and watercoloured the flowers.
Measured up, scored and cut out the carton boxes in coloured card and some strips of white card for the sides.
The embossing folder was square, so I position my strips of card to just capture the embossing along one edge, then softly blended green and blue over the strip and used my Distress Oxides to watercolour the flowers.
My second Box is one I saw on the net somewhere...it's an upside down cube...
I embossed the colourful purple and pink card from my stash with the Embossing Folder - Couture Creations - Crazy Daisy, then cut, scored and folded it to make a cube with out a lid... then repeated this using purple card.
Next I used an Spellbinders - Big Scalloped Circle die to cut openings in the four sides, then constructed the cube.... attached a loop of matching ribbon and slid one inside the other.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.... have a Wonderful Creative weekend
They're brilliant!! And so pretty... Love how you did the last one
ReplyDeleteYou sure do make wonderful boxes. I adore the two for your granddaughters. The colors are so happy and sing of Spring. The flowers are perfect - anyone interested in hunting Easter Eggs!!!

You will be all boxed out by the time this challenge ends. I have enjoyed seeing them all and these 2 are very special. I particularly like the carton ones with the flower edges. That must have been such a fiddle to do xx
