Coffee Cup Gift Card Surprise | Stamping Bella Tutorial

Hi all! Today I'm sharing my Stamping Bella tutorial. I found this Coffee Cup Gift Card template only last week and I loved the idea so I adapted it to make a more decorated version. I couldn't decide which coffee character to use, Curvy Girl LOVES Coffee or Oddball with a Coffee so I made one of each.


Supplies:
Curvy Girl LOVES Coffee outline die
Kraft Card
White Card
Patterned Papers (Piatek Trzynastego - Awakening)
Stitched Oval, Stitched Tags, & Coffee Dies. 
Ribbon
Hole Punch and large eyelet

How to: 
Download, print, and cut out the coffee cup elements. 



Using the coffee cup shape as a template, cut out 2 pieces of paper - for the front and back. 


Adhere the paper to the front and back pieces. 


Apply a thin line of adhesive on the back and bottom of one of the base pieces, leaving approx 0.25" at the top of each side glue free. 


Adhere the front and back together. 


Slide in the gift card holder to ensure it fits. 


Leaving the holder piece in the 'cup', adhere the lid elements in place. Set the cup aside to work on the images. 


Stamp Curvy Girl LOVES Coffee and/or Oddball with a Coffee onto white card and colour using your preferred medium. 




Use the outline dies to cut out the characters, or fussy cut with a precision scissors



Punch a hole on one side of the lid. 


Stamp the sentiments from Curvy Girl LOVES Coffee and 
Oddball with a Coffee onto white card. 
Cut the Curvy Girl LOVES Coffee sentiment using a small stitched tag die. 


Cut out a white card oval and a paper oval. Cut inside the stitching on the paper oval, the whole way around. to make a smaller oval for layering. Adhere the paper oval to the card oval. 


Adhere the one of the cup holder pieces to the front. 


Adhere the layered ovals onto the front using 3D foam tape, and then adhere the image, again using foam tape. 


Punch a hole on the end of the sentiment tag and fix in an eyelet. 


Line up the hole on the tag with the hole on the lid and thread a ribbon through both. Apply a  little bit of foam tape to the back of the tag to hold it in place on the lid. 


Decorate the lid and apply a 3.5" x 2.25" piece of paper  on the bottom section. 


Decorate the front as desired.

New Home Cottage Box | Stamping Bella Tutorial

Hi all. Today I'm sharing how I made a New Home Cottage Gift Box featuring the Little Bits Flower PotsFall Window and Celebrate and Congratulate Sentiments stamps

I have a long list of crafty makes that I've been trying to find time to do and this one has been on that list for a long time. There are a few versions of this around social media but this is my take on it. I would probably make the roof a little shorter next time, maybe take an inch off the height. 


Supplies: 
White card
Kraft card
Paper
Scalloped Border die
Stitched Pennant die
Scoring board and bone folder
Acetate
Ribbon
Adhesive

How to:
Stamp the Flower Pots and Window on to white colouring card/paper. 


Fussy cut around the window and remove the centre. 


Colour the window


Colour the Flower Pots as desired and fussy cut around the outline. 
Set the images aside to work on the box. 



Cut 2 pieces of card measuring 10.25" x 7.75". The scoring and cutting is the same for both pieces. 
On the 7.75" side, score at 2.5" and 7.25" 


On the 10.25" side, score at 2.5" and 8.25" 


Fold and crease all the score lines. Cut on the 7.75" on each of the scorelines, up to the intersecting score lines. On the 0.5" end, remove the top and bottom section and taper the edges of the remaining centre section. On the 2.5" end, taper the edges of each side to make the fold in tabs. 


One ONE of the pieces, with 2" section at the top, position the window as shown and draw a pencil line to mark the centre of the window



Cut away the the rectangle


Cut the panels for the front and back. 
2x   5-5/8" x  4-5/8"
2x   5-5/8" x 2-3/8"


Adhere the front panel to the piece with the rectangle cut out. 


Turn over to the back and cut out the rectangle using a craft knife. 


Cut a piece of acetate approx 2.25" x 2" for centre of the window. 


Adhere the window over the opening in the front of the box. 


Apply double side tape to the 0.5" tab on the box front and adhere to the second piece. 


Apply double sided tape to the 0.5" section on the back piece and adhere to the front to make the box shape. 


Adhere the rest of the paper panels to the box. 


For the roof: 
Cut 2 pieces of Kraft card measuring 4" x 5.25" 
Score both pieces on the 4" side at 0.75" 


Cut enough scallop borders to cover ONE of  4" x 5.25" pieces of kraft. 


Curl the scallops slightly and adhere the first border down, overhanging the base piece. 


Continue to layer the scallops as shown until the whole piece is covered up to the score line. 


Use a spare border piece to fill in the gap at the bottom and top


Hold the two craft pieces together and punch ribbon holes in the 0.75" section at the top. 


Apply foam tape to the back of the window box and adhere to the window 


On the 2" section at the top, apply adhesive and position the roof section with the scallops on it. Let it overhang the front of the box by 0.5"-0.75". Make sure it's centered across.



Repeat with the plain piece of the roof at the back of the box. 


Adhere the bottom of the box. 


Adhere the rest of the flower pots under the window. 


Using two stamps from the Celebrate and Congratulate Sentiments set, make a greeting and cut out with a pennant die.


Tie a ribbon through the punched holes at the top 


Finally, adhere the sentiment using foam tape/dots, in the centre of the roof.
