Happy Hugs for You!

Hi ya everyone!  Today, I'm sharing a little milk carton that I cut on my Silhouette Cameo!  I love this machine and all the great cuts I can buy for so cheap.  The convenience of hooking it up to my computer and not having to look through books or pull out cartridges is AWESOME!  Anyhow, this milk carton is from the Lori Whitlock collection from the Silhouette store.  The adorable image is from SP & Company and is called Glam Girl Emma.  If you haven't heard Sami is having a FANTASTIC SALE!!  Grab box for $25 and I think that includes shipping.  So stock up now! 

A Gorjuss Milk Carton with Treats!

Hi ya everyone! Today I am sharing at iCopic Lover a little milk carton I made using the ADORABLE Gorjuss Clear Stamp - Little Foxes. This is my first time coloring a Gorjuss stamp, and well, I'm completely addicted to her. 

 I added a little acetate window to the box so you could see the candy inside and because I wanted a fun home for my image to be placed.  I separated the fox from the image and adhered him to her boot and then placed both on top of the acetate window and milk carton.

Before adhering her I colored her with Copic Markers on X-Press IT Blending Card Paper.  Next I added a bit of Opaque White using a small toothpick.  Opaque White is fabulous for making small highlights on images.  There is also so much in a little tub that you are sure to have enough for a long time!  I used the following Copics for this project

Hair: E50, E51, E53, E55, E57 Clothing including hat: R81, R83, R85, R89, RV32, RV34, R20, R22, R24, R29, C00, C1, C3, C5 Skin and Cheeks: E000, E00, E11, BV00, R20 Boots: C1, C3, C5, C7, 100 Fox: R22, R24, R29, C1, C3
I'm also entering this into She's A Sassy Lady Valentine's challenge!

Milk Carton - Back To School

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!
