Emergency Box - Coffee & Friends - AVSC

Hi all,

How are we today?  I have a cute little coffee emergency box to show you. 

It is small enough to place in your bag for a 'just in case'.  

I actually seen this box somewhere and thought I wonder? So with only memory to go by I created this one for my DT project for Aunty Vera Scrap & Craft..

I always try to cut all my pieces first so it is easier to put together..

I inked all the edges using the Clearly Kelly Coffee & Donuts ink set.

Cut a piece of cardboard at 7 1/2in x 4in

Score 1 1/4in, 2in, 3 1/4in, 4 3/4in, 6in.

Cut 2 pieces of cardboard at 5in x 2 1/4in

Score 5/8in all 4 sides.

Cut to each score line and make a notch as shown.

I cut a shaped edge with scissors so I could shut the box without bulk.

For the cover cut 2 pieces of paper at 7 1/2in x 4in .

Cover the front of the base before cutting the slits.

I also cut a slit at each end to thread the ribbon through as shown below,

then cover the inside of the cover..

Cut 4 pieces of paper at 1/2in x 3 5/8in for each box.

Cut 4 pieces of paper at 1/2in x 7/8in for each box.

Cover the outside boxes as shown.

Cover the inside of the boxes as shown.

Middle strip measures 1in x 3 5/8in.

Put the boxes together.

Cover the ends with a strip of paper.

Look good don't they..

 All ready to put together.. Love, Love that washie tape, can you tell lol..

Mix a little of the Dimensional effects and a drop of distress ink together.

Place all over the front cover using the Splash stencil from the kit..

(I forgot to take a photo of this step sorry).

I made up these tiny sachets with real coffee in them and sealed them using the washie tape.

Look pretty don't they..

Boxes adhered on the base with the coffee sachets..

Fold up and tie the ribbon..

How neat is this.. I drew around the splashes with a white pen to give a little life as it appeared too dark with all the brown.. Even though you cant see it here, I smudged the pen a little with my finger so it wasn't too white lol.. (too dark, then too white).

I used a strong cardboard (below) but found it too hard to do all the folds, so used a back off a card stock pad instead, which worked really well. 

I think the wrong ink is in this bottle don't you! 

I hope I have inspired you to create Glorious things..

Thank you for stopping by..

Hugs

DONNA xx

Book Dream

Not a good picture but this is a beautiful book. I used Tim Holtz stamps to bring the book together. Again I inked the bird and word 'dream' and painted it with dimentional magic..

 

The book opened showing the 'pages' with the cards inside and again using Tim Holtz stamps.

 

The book with the belly band.

 

Some of the cards inside the pages. I love this paper and though the cards look similar they are in fact different.

Book Sugar Hallow

Cover of the Sugar Hallow book with a belly band that has a family of owls on it.. The photo does not do this justice as I have added dimentional magic on the owls to make them shine.

 

Spine of the book, as yet to place the heading on it..

 

The book opened to show the pages with the cards in them.

 

Three of the cards I made.. I stamped and die cut the owls, bird cage and the tree.. The flowers are from the tiny retro punch.

 

Another three cards again using the stamps and die cuts.

 

Card 1  All of a twitter. I die cut the tree and owl and punched the flowers.. 

 

 

Card 2  Have a hoot. Again using die cuts and stamping this brings the cards together..

 

Card 3 It's Owl good.  All I did with this one was punch some flowers and leaves and paint the owl with dimentional magic..

 

Card 4 Have a hoot on your birthday. And as yet again I used the tree as the main focus to show case the pair of love owls.

 

Card 5 All of a twitter.  A border, punched bird cage and owl is all that is needed to make this cards wonderful..

 

Card 6 Owl always love you.  My favourite of all the cards.. This one screamed out for a swing hanging from the branches I just love it..

The three books together and as yet to make the names of the books to place on the spines..

Book Mariposa

This is the Mariposa book named after the papers I made it from.. Wonderful paper that showcases Butterflies..

                        The cover with a chipboard butterfly on the belly band..

 

Don't you 'love this' lol. I inked the chipboard pieces and then went over it with dimentional magic to make it shine..

 

The 'book' opened with the cards in the 'pages'..

 

 

Some of the cards made with the Mariposa papers.. I didn't use a lot of embellishments as I wanted to show case the papers..

 

The spine of the book. As yet to write the names on all the spines.

Books I made to keep my cards in..

I thought this style of book matched perfectly with the Hug Bug set of cards I made.. The Hello is a chipboard inked and glass painted on a belly band..

 

The book opened to show the stack of cards. And what a great saying on the first card..

'Those that dislike the cat,

Where in a former life a rat ..  lol

 

The cards in the box.. You have to love these..

Christmas Cards Again

I am so into Christmas cards at the moment that I found my self making more...

I love encaustic cards and I love this design so I thought I would place the two of them together and this is what I came up with.. I love them...

 

 

This is my Hug Bug set  and though the picture doesn't show it, these cards are wonderful with glitter and dimensional magic all over them.
