Handmade Embossed Boxes

A Handmade box front with brad holding the box closed.  The lid, front and back are embossed.  The bottom isn't.   It's lightly distressed so the design stands out.   Distressing can be done in many different colors.

This is one piece box that opens to display the product inside.  There are flaps on the side to enclose the contents more security.

This is the way it looks when opened.  The flaps go on the inside for strength and privacy (so to speak).

The top is embossed and can be decorated in many ways:  tags, labels, ribbons, flower, etc.

The back of the box is embossed as well.  

Paper:  Ga. Pacific cardstock

Embossing:  Cuttlebug birds & swirls embossing folder

Brad:  Oriental Express

Template:  designed for a specific product

Digital Scrapbooking

Digital scrapbooking is something that I enjoy and can do anywhere.  I got My Digital Studio from Stampin Up and I carry my laptop to all doctors appointments and get a lot done while waiting.  These are my grandchildren Kyla, Liam, and Eoin.  Big sister is great with the twins.  

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

A little Santa Something

I like the little Santa box with the lid.  This will go to my granddaughter for Christmas filled with goodies.  The box is easy to make.  The video tutorial is a My Chic n Scratch.  Angie made a Frankenstein box.  I really like the punch Santa.  How about you?
     Supplies for Santa:  Stampin Up cherry cobbler cardstock, Cuttlebug embossing folder-D'Vine Swirls, punches (Stampin' Up):  Word window, scallop circle, 1 3/8" circle, 1/2" circle, 1/4" circle, Wide and Small oval.
     I have a book that I put my punch creations in so I'll have them another time.  This santa is a punch creation by someone, I don't remember who.
