This post was created WAYYYY back when....
Hi everyone,
Well in addition to my Tiddly Inks addiction I now have another - Meljens Designs...such cute images. I decided to do their challenge this week as well - follow a sketch. I picked this cute little Fru Fru Fairy Pony and colored her with my Copics.
I used my Tim Holtz Vintage Shabby paper for the main background. I also used a small piece of Best Creation Inc Mr & Mrs. for a strip and the card base. I added a shear ribbon and then added a blue rhinestone swirly from Recollections. Lastly, I used a sticker for the Follow Your Dreams sentiment.
Hi ya everyone! If you are looking for my Tiddly Post please click HERE. I'm sharing this milk carton tutorial using the Imagine at The Bug Bytes today! Thanks so much Pam for letting me share this project. My daughter goes back to school soon and I wanted to sneak a special treat in her lunch box. I made this container using her favorite colors! She's also really loving the goth stuff - so I chose this little Cutie Skull from Meljen's Designs to put on the side.
Once I had the scoring finished, I simply adhered all sides of the carton. I started with the small flap and placed a small strip of adhesive down the side.
I formed the base of the box by adhering that flap to the inside of the other flap.
I then folded in the bottom and placed adhesive there as well starting with two opposing flaps and then the other two.
Once this was done the rest was easy. The score lines worked perfectly for forming the top portion of the milk carton.
Next, I printed my Meljen's Designs Cutie Skull out and used the Cuttle Bug to cut and emboss. For the first cut I used a circle nestable from Spellbinders and taped it to the paper so it wouldn't shift going through the Bug. I also used the A plate, B plate and the C plate.
I then wanted to emboss the edge of the circle so I ran it through the Cuttle Bug again using an A plate, an embossing mat, three thick pieces of cardstock and two B plates.
This gave me a fabulous embossed edge.
I colored the skull using the following Copics.
I punched wholes in the top and ran some Tulle through and a black and white gingham ribbon. I LOVE using tulle on my projects and saw this first in this post from Kristy at She's A Sassy Lady!
Thanks for stopping by today! Please feel free to ask questions!

Hi ya everyone!

However we are still having a challenge and that is a recipe challenge: 1 bow, three brads and a circle. So please stop by and join the fun!
This Raggy Puppy that I colored in my Copics is probably one of my all time favorite Meljen's Designs images. Isn't he the cutest? He can be found right HERE at Whimsy Stamps. The paper is Basic Grey.
