 Thank you for stopping by and letting me show you my take on using the beautiful and yummy ribbons from May Arts on a project using my Scor-pal! I am such a ribbon fanatic - this was a match made in heaven for me!

With the school year wrapping up I decided to make a fun little teacher appreciation gift for my children's school teachers. I decided to do my take on a pull out treat box. I thought this was a great way to highlight the ribbon! And who doesn't love M&M's right?

M&M Pull Treat Box

Supplies:

Scor-pal

1/8 inch Scor tape

1/4 inch Scor tape

Back piece of box  3 1/2 x 7 inch paper or acetate (Piece A)

Front piece of box 3 1/2 x 6 1/2 inch paper or acetate (Piece B)

2 x 6 3/4 piece of cardstock for belly band

(2) 2 1/4 x 2 1/2 pieces of cardstock for belly band

(2) 2 x 2 1/4 pieces of pattern paper for belly band 

(Paper I used is from My Minds Eye Collectable 6x6 pad)

 1 yard of Ribbon ( I used this Red Sheer Line Ribbon from May Arts)

Tag made with Silhouette Machine

3/8 inch hole punch

M&M's or other similar candy in a bag

Just a note- I used acetate for my box base, but for tutorial purposes, I used a piece of white cardstock.

Step 1-Score the Back of the box piece (Piece A)  ½ inch on 3 sides (2 long sides and 1 short side)

Step 2- Score the Front of the box piece (Piece B)  ½ inch on 3 sides (2 long sides and 1 short side)

Step 3-Snip 2 bottom sections on both black cardstock pieces and adhere to make the bottom of the box. 

 Add adhesive to outer edges of the tall back section of box and then slide the small front section to the outside of the longer piece.

Step 4-Punch hole in front section of box. 

 Punch 2 holes in top and bottom of candy bag. Run ribbon from the bottom hole through to the top hole.

Step 5-Take bottom ribbon and pull it through the hole in the front of the box and stuff the candy to the inside of the box.

Step 6- Make the belly band. For the base you will need the 2 x 6 2/4 piece of paper. Score this paper at 1/2 inch, 1 inch , at the triangle mark right after the 3 1/2 inch mark and at 4 1/4 inches. Fold around the box and adhere in the back.

 Add the cardstock and pattern papers shown below to the front and the back of the belly band as shown.

Step 7-

Add a decorative tag and tie the ribbon to complete the project.

To see more of the hop, go check out the some more creative creations by May Arts DT and the Scor-Pal DT.  Leave some love along the hop, prizes will be 3 spools of a ribbon and a scor-pal.

Doodlebug and Kiwi Lane

Hello everyone! Hope all is well and that you are enjoying Spring! I love this time of year - flowers are blooming, the windows are open and I just want to get outside and enjoy it all!

This week on the blog the Doodlebug Design Team has been featuring products using templates from Kiwi Lane Designs - stop by and check out their site for all the details on this super fun tool that you can use to spice up your layouts! So fun!

I was given the Tiny Shapes templates to work with as well as one that I already had to make the rolling grassy hills along the bottom.  I decided to use the shapes to make this cute 3-D hot air balloon Thank you card.

I used the circle and half of the hexagon templates to make the hot air balloon. To make the 3-D element you simply cut out 4 circles, fold them in half and layer them next to each other to make them pop off the card. Super simple and easy, yet eye catching as well. I also added a few fussy cut clouds on top of the cloud pattern paper background for a little more 3-D fun. I used Doodlebug's new Flower Box line for all of my supplies.

Happy Spring everyone! And thanks for stopping by for a peek!

Doodlebug projects - Stars and Stripes and Take Note

Hey everyone - just wanted to add my 2 projects here that were showcase on the Doodlebug Design blog these past few weeks. We have been highlighting the 4 new lines that Doodlebug release at Winter CHA,. Previously I showed you Flower Box, and Fruit Stand. This time I am showing you the projects that I did for the Stars and Stripes and Take Note lines, which of course are darling as usual!

First up is this cute photo tray featuring the Stars and Stripes line. It is one of my very favorite patriotic lines of all time because it has that beautiful pop of teal blue in it that I think just accents the red, white and blues of the line perfectly.
I can't believe how little my kids look in these photos - this was taken a few years ago but I loved the pics of the kids doing sparklers for the first time.

The next project I did was this fun little desk set using Doodlebugs Take Note line and a Silhouette die cut for the holders. My 2 favorite things right now - Doodlebug and my Cameo - love :)

Thanks for stopping by for a visit! Happy Scrapping!
