Mini Pizza Box Gift Holder

This box has been finished in my mind for several days now, I just needed to actually finish it by adding the embellishments.  My niece's birthday was yesterday and she had asked for a specific necklace.  Well, I needed a box to put it in, so it was the perfect opportunity to just FINISH this box already!! 

The box itself is really easy and you can easily get 2 boxes per one sheet of cardstock. 
Here are the measurements:  

Start with cardstock 7-1/4" x 4".

Score the long side at 3/4", 3-1/4", 4" and 6-1/2".

Score the short side at 3/4" and 3-1/4".
Then embellish!

The measurements and inspiration for this project were found HERE.  Thanks Becky!

To make the flower topper, I used my Big Shot and the Fun Flowers Bigz Die.  I lightly sprayed water on each flower piece and then scrunched them up in my hand.  I let them dry and then attached them all together (and to the belly band) using a small silver brad.  The flowers held their shape after they dried. So pretty!

This also fits in as part of the Splitcoaststampers Creative Crew Challenge for March:

  I LOVE to make 3-D projects and had to try this as soon as I saw it. 
  ~Enjoy!

Fabric Flower Embellishment

Another No-Sew Project!  Love it!  This idea came from Stampin' Success - the Demonstrator only magazine that we get every other month filled with great ideas.  A quick, easy way to decorate one of our Kraft Gift Boxes (4 for only $2.95!). 

Since I used the Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons - which are clear- I punched out and added a small circle of Cherry Cobbler cardstock to add some color under the button.

This fabric is currently available on the Clearance Rack for only $0.99!! While supplies last!

Fabric Scissors Holder

Let me start this by saying I DON'T SEW.   This Fabric Scissors Holder is a perfect project for me because you can do it without any sewing at all.  I originally saw this idea at Convention 2012 and just knew I had to make one.  So, we made these at my November Stamp Club.  The idea, along with a great video, can be found here on Laura Milligan's blog.  She presented both a no-sew version and a version that can you can sew if you choose.  The great thing is that they fit Stampin' Up!s paper snips perfectly!

 

And, even better, the fabric can currently be purchased on the Clearance Rack for only $0.99!! While supplies last!

Happy Birthday Miss Phillips!

My daughter's kindergarten teacher's birthday is today.  We had a great time making this gift together.  She LOVES when she gets to use 'mommy's' stuff.  She even picked her teacher's favorite colors - TCU's colors - for the gift.  We also included wrapped chocolates for a weight inside the vase.  I sure hope Miss Phillips likes it!

 

Have a great day Miss Phillips!
