Bunny Box

I had purchased this cute little bunny box awhile ago from My Scrap Chick.  I love their boxes as they are so easy to assemble and super cute to give as a little gift.  Since we were in quarantine, I decided to make these little bunnies to put in my kids Easter baskets to make them look a little more festive.  I also made some cute little frogs and I had some Easter eggs on sticks that I had intended to put on a wreath, but was so glad that I had them on hand.  As it was, their Easter baskets turned out so super cute and they didn't feel bad at all on Easter morning.  I know that isn't the real meaning of Easter, but it is fun to have a little something just for fun after we talk about why we truly celebrate the season.

Bird Box

Isn't this a cute little bird box.  I love him.  He's from https://www.myscrapchick.com/.  Such a cute little file.  So easy to put together and turns out so fun.  After making him and showing my friend, I got an order to make 23 more.  That's a win win!  So now I am off to get busy.

Happy Father's Day Toolbox Card

Aren't these fun.  These are Lori Whitlock files.  I needed something for Father's Day and decided to give these a try.  I made one for my hubby and for my FIL.  I really wish my Dad was still here so I could have made him one also.   I hope they like them.  This was a fun explosion box.  I did adhere the back to the toolbox to give it more stability, but the fileis actually designed to be an explosion box.

Halloween Monster Box

Isn't this a cute little monster.  I made these for my kids for this Halloween.  I thought I'd fill them with little candy bars.  I love the boxes from My Scrap Chick.  They have the cutest easiest boxes ever.  Love them.

Retreat Party Explosion Box

 

So I have never done an explosion box but they had the cutest birthday set over at Dreaming Tree that I just had to have!  One of files in the set was an explosion box.  Can I say, oh my goodness!  How absolutely fun and easy is this!!!!  I have a retreat coming up soon so I decided this was a good time to try to make this.  I hope she likes it.  I think I'll fill it with some kind of treats....chocolate maybe?  LOL.  Everyone loves chocolate right?  I think I'll make one of these for my daughter and put a gift card in it.  What teenager doesn't like money?   Now I need to make the cupcake gift box.  It is adorable also.  If it's as easy to work with as this file, I'm sold!  I love the balloons and party hat!  Doesn't this just scream party and have fun!  I LOVE it!

Sundae Treat Box

I am going to a scrapbook retreat in about a month and we do a secret sister exchange.  I decided I'd better get started because I have a lot coming up in the next month also.  So I decided to take one of the caddy essentials boxes from a collection from My Scrap Chick and make this cute little box.  The I used a cute sundae file from KaDoodle Bug Designs to make the cute little sundae.  I think it turned out cute.  I'm going to make a card and also one of those Sundae's made with a cup, loofa, and straw to go with it.  Maybe some chocolates to go in the box.  This lady is new to our group so I've never met her before.  Here's to hoping she likes it!  Here's a couple challenges to enter it into also.

Snowman Belly Box

Isn't this little guy cute!  I made 8 of them the other day for the young women that I teach in church.  I plan on making a few more for music teachers, bus drivers, ladies that I go visit each month etc.  I think they will be cute with a little bag of Hershey's kisses.  Fun fun.  This is a My Scrap Chick file and it was so easy to assemble.  Love it.  I have a group of ladies coming over and we are going to mass produce this little guy.  He was my attempt to make sure it would be fun and easy.  Now on to the gingerbread one.

Gingerbread Belly Box

So the snowman belly box that I did the other day from My Scrap Chick turned out so cute and easy to assemble, I decided to make his friend.  I love this one too.  I made 8 snowmen and only 1 of this little guy so far, but I will be making more of them.  So cute and fun!  Hope everyone likes them this year!

New ATG Holder

Ok....so my ATG box holder that I made has seen better days.  So I found this wooden box for $.50.  It looked like it was the right size so I grabbed it and brought it home.   Some paint, some paper, and some decoupage and voila..... one cute new ATG gun holder!  Love it!

Bunny Bag

I made this cute little bag to fill with treats to go with the card for one of my kids for Valentine's Day.  Such a cute little way to say I love you!

Hugs to You Box

Isn't this fun.  I made these to give to my Mom and my Grandma who are alone on Valentine's Day.  I think they turned out cute.  The little turtles are actually left over cuts from a couple of years ago.  They were too big for my layout and I never got around to using them.  They are a perfect fit for these boxes.  I then used paper left over from other projects and voila.... cute little boxes.  The box is actually a Scrapping Bug Designs file and I think the turtle is a Precious Piecing's file.  So fun.  I like the nontraditional colors of the paper for this Valentine's project too.   I hope they like them.  I bought chocolate covered pomegranates to put in them.  Yum!

Finished Valentine's Gifts

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!  Now that it's actually Valentine's Day, I can share with you waht I made for my family.  Each of my family got a set of these in various colors.  You can see example on my other posts, but I like to take a picture of everything together so that I can scrapbook it with a picture of my family for the year so..... I can now officially post this because they have already received them and eaten part of the candy!  LOL.  I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day!

Valentine Pillow Box

Isn't this little squirrel adorable?  He's a Designs on Cloud 9 file and I Love him.  He's the perfect Valentine creature.  I was going to use the saying "Nuts about you" but it was too long and didn't fit on the heart.  Inside the box is a package of peanut M&M's.  Yum! I made one of these for my hubby and each of my kids.  :-)

Valentine Treat Boxes

Each year, I make Valentine's for my family.  So here is a little treat box full of tootsie rolls for them.  They will get these with their little pencil holders and whatever else I get made before the holiday.  Two gifts down.... I have some candy bears that I'll have to do something with yet but that's a post for another day. 

Boo Treat Box

Aren't these little guys cute!  I created these boxes for my kids teachers this year using a KaDoodle Bug Designs file.  I'm going to fill them with school supplies and Halloween candy.   I think they turned out really cute.

Peachy Keen Box Challenge

Two in one day....yep, I got a little time in my scrap room.  Love it!  Over at Peachy Keen, they were having a box challenge.  I've wanted to use this little porcupine for a long time, so today is the day.  I think he's cute with his little Peachy Keen face.  I decided I needed a box to put my cards in and so I decided to use this chipboard that I've had forever in my stash and join their challenge at the same time.  I love, love, love their face stamps.  Wish my luck on their challenge.  :-)

Valentine's Gifts

I had some time and instead of scrapbooking, I decided to get a jump start on the gifts for my family for Valentine's Day. So here is what I came up with....inside the black box is mini Hershey Bars, inside the bad of treats is Snickers, and inside the Strawberry is a a Blow Pop sucker. I think these are a cute way to say I love you without overwhelming them with too many sweets! LOL. These will go great with their cards.  I think it's a good start. :-)  I think I'm going to make a little heart bag to go with them and probably a bookmark as we are all avid readers in our house.  But....it's a great start!

Strawberry Box Suckers

Aren't these fun! I decided to make these for the ladies that I go Visiting Teaching to in my church and for my son's teacher at school. I started on a quest to make something that was non-chocolate. Yikes! I know, right! LOL. For Christmas we gave my son's teacher a hot chocolate cone and she thanked him but later told the class that she doesn't like chocolate. I felt so bad and my poor son felt even worse! Especially since I gave her a little decorated box at Halloween full of chocolates! So....I needed a Valentine's idea that didn't involve chocolate and this is what I came up with. Inside is simply a blow pop sucker. I think they turned out really cute. I do know that this is NOT a project that I will make 25 of! LOL. I did end up making 8 of these....one for each of my family for Valentine's Day as part of their gift and the rest to give away. Something cute and simple. Just enough that says, "I was thinking about you." I've also seen these as just boxes full of candy, but I didn't have any other candy that would fit inside on hand and not wanting to go out into this yucky weather we are having, the suckers would have to do!

They are having a challenge at http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2012/01/cool-tools-week-die-cutting-challenge.html so I decided to enter this into their challenge!  How fun!

Valentine's Day Basket

On the MTC forum, they are having a Valentine's Day bag challenge.  They gave us this cute little bag file and I decided it would be another cute gift to add to my families Valentine's Gifts so I decided to play along. This is what I came up with. I think it turned out pretty cute! I'm thinking on my hubbies, I will add the same little frog that I used on his card and try to make all their gifts kinda match....in a theme but be similar. I'll post each of theirs when I am done. Anyhow, I think it's a cute little project and the box itself (without the bears) took less than 10 minutes to create...and most of that time was looking through my scraps to find papers that would go with the paper piecing that I already had done.  The bears are from MyScrapChick.  Thi s set is the first set of their files that I've ever purchased....got a whole huge set for only $4.00 so I had to give them a try.  I love them, but lots of little pieces!  LOL.  I wouldn't want to make 20 of those, but aren't these adorable!  Love them and for that price....I couldn't go wrong....and I didn't they are adorable!

I'm also going to enter this project into this challenge---for a child.
