Sweet as can Bee Valentine Gift Box

Hi! I'm back with another tutorial and today I'm sharing my take on this "Sweet as can Bee" Valentine Gift Box, featuring Bundle Girl Beekeeper

Supplies:

Bundle Girl Beekeeper rubber stamp

Card

Designer paper (used: Echo Park, Hello Valentine)

Tag Die, Stitched Pennant Die

Corner rounder

Small magnets

Scoring board and bone folder

Grommet, white twine

Card:

(1x) 7" x 11" - box

(1x) 2-7/8" x 3-5/8" front layer panel

Paper:

(4x) 7/8" x 2-7/8"

(4x) 7/8" x 3-5/8"

(4x) 2-7/8" x 3-5/8"

(1x) 2.75" x 3.5"

(1x) 1-3/8" x 2-7/8" - tag pocket

How to:

Stamp Bundle Girl Beekeeper onto white card, colour, then fussy cut around the outline of the Bundle Girl and the  Bees. Set aside. 

Score the large piece of card on the long side at 3" and 4" from each end. Turn 90 degrees and score on the short side at 5/8" and 1-5/8" from each end. 

Cut as per the red lines below. 

Round the corners on both centre end tabs, and on one of the large end panels. 

On the inside of the panel with the rounded edges, adhere a magnet approx. 0.5" in from the edge. 

Lay the other magnet on top and apply some strong adhesive. 

Fold up the box without using adhesive, and close the flap the rounded edges over the other flap to adhere the second side of the magnet. 

Open up the box and there should be a magnet on each side. 

Round the corners of one of the  paper layers and adhere over the magnet. Adhere another paper layer over the other magnet.

Adhere all the paper layers to the outside, rounding the corners on the end section. 

Make a small tag, punch a hole at the top and insert a grommet. 

Adhere the paper layer, then adhere the pocket piece. 

Thread some twine through the top of the tag and slide the tag into the pocket. This pocket also fits a gift card. 

Adhere the paper layers to all the inside sections, except the the sections between the tabs. 

Fold down the  tabs, apply adhesive, then adhere inside the sections with no paper. 

Once the tabs are stuck down, adhere the paper layer over them

Repeat on both ends. 

Cut a tag approx. 3-3/8" long. 

Stamp the sentiment onto white card and cut using a stitched rectangle/pennant die. 

Adhere the tag to the front of the box, and then adhere Bundle Girl Beekeeper to the tag using foam tape/dots. Adhere one of the bees above the honey dipper. 

Adhere the sentiment across the bottom of the image, using foam tape/dots on the end. 

Finally, adhere the other bee overlapping the sentiment. 

Fill the box with candy hearts or chocolates.

Hi everyone!

Looking for my La-La Land CHA Release post?? CLICK HERE or keep scrolling down.

Today, Tickled Pink Stamps are sponsoring Paper Sundaes and I have the pleasure of being Paper Sundaes guest designer for this challenge, which is VALENTINES

I am using not ONE, but TWO of the fabulous new Gods and Goddesses from Tickled Pink Stamps. I merged them together so that it looks like Apollo Lestat is protecting his love - Aphrodite Willow

My papers are from the It's the Little Things collection by Fancy Pants and I've matted and machine stitched them to black and white cardstock. The flowers are from Prima marketing and the ribbon is from my stash. 

Thanks for dropping by

Have a great day

Waltzingmouse Stamps January Blog Waltz

Good morning!! It seems soooo long since we've had our monthly blog waltz even though we only missed one month!! This month the theme is Valentines, we want to see loads of Amoré!! If you haven't added your link to the forum thread and plan to play along you can do so HERE. It only takes a minute.

We will also be playing the watermark game. Each or the DT {may or may not have.. sneaky, eh??!!} added  some watermarks on their blog post today. Count how many watermarks in total you find by visiting each of the design team members' blogs and you could win yourself a very nice prize  - which is a full set of Waltzingmouse stamps of your own choice. Just remember - some watermarks may be well hidden, so look carefully ;) Once you are happy with your count you can post your guess HERE.

 

I have created a little Valentine gift set.

 The papers on this card were given to me by a friend. They were her scraps from a scrapbooking class she took and she challenged me to make something from them. Well, this is actually the 2nd card I've made from the scraps.. the other card I will share soon. I hope I did her proud, barely a piece was wasted.

 Believe it or not, I made these candies :D I had planned on giving them to hubster but, 3hrs after I made them, they are completely gone!! Not a single one left.. kids!!!! They are so easy to make that I might whip up another batch. 

Supplies

Paper: Cosmo Cricket "Togetherness", PM Craft & white cardstock

Stamps - Victorian Frippery, Seasons of Love Tags

Ribbon - American Crafts

Martha Stewart punch

Pearl topped pins from my local drapery

Sewing Machine & white thread

Flat backed self adhesive pearls
