- 2 pieces each 3-5/8" x 4-1/8" of Berry Burst stripes on kraft background design from Foil Frenzy Specialty Designer Series Paper Stack, cut so the stripes are horizontal across the 4-1/8"
- 2 pieces each 1-1/4" x 4-1/8" of Berry Burst
stripes on kraft background design from Foil Frenzy Specialty Designer Series Paper Stack, cut so the stripes are horizontal across the 4-1/8"
- 2 pieces each 1-1/4" x 3-5/8" of Berry Burst stripes on kraft background design from Foil Frenzy Specialty Designer Series Paper Stack, cut so the stripes are horizontal across the 1-1/4"
- 1" x 2-1/4" from Crumb Cake Cardstock
- 1-3/4" square from Crumb Cake Cardstock
- 3-1/4" square from Peekaboo Peach Cardstock
- 3-1/4" square from Whisper White Cardstock
- 2" x 2-1/2" from Whisper White Cardstock
Use Tear & Tape Adhesive to adhere the Foil Frenzy Designer Paper pieces to the sides of the box.
Fill the box with accessories, treats, candy, jewelry, small gifts, or a gift card. Close the box.
Cut a 22" piece of Berry Burst 1/2" Finely Woven Ribbon.
Wrap the ribbon around the box about 1" from the bottom so that the ends stick off to the right side of the box. Use Tear & Tape Adhesive to adhere the ribbon to the front and back sides of the box. Tie a knot in the ends so it sits on the top right edge of the box. Trim the ends.
Mount the clothespin wound with twine image from the Crafting Forever Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Basic Black Archival Ink Pad. Stamp it on the 1" x 2-1/4" piece of Crumb Cake Cardstock.
Use Paper Snips to cut out the clothespin image. You can just cut the sides straight since you will be wrapping the image in actual twine in the next step.
Put a small piece of Tear & Tape Adhesive on the back of the clothespin cut out. Wrap the Peekaboo Peach Baker's Twine around the clothespin cut out until you can't see any of the stamped twine image. Leave a tail about 10" long of twine hanging off the end.
Use Tear & Tape Adhesive to adhere the twine wrapped clothespin cut out to the left front of the box at a slight angle so the head of the clothespin is just above the ribbon on the box. Leave the end of the twine free for now.
Stamp the scissors image from the Crafting Forever Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Basic Black Archival Ink Pad. Stamp it on the 2" x 2-1/2" white piece.
Use the Basic Black Marker to color in the handles. Use the Basic Gray Marker to color in the highlights on the handles. Use the Smoky Slate Marker to color in the blades.
Paint some shimmer onto the colored blades using the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.
Use Paper Snips to cut out the scissors image. Don't worry about cutting out the interior of the handles as they will be hidden behind the matted sentiment circles.
Mount the rubber stamp block image from the Crafting Forever Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Basic Black Archival Ink Pad. Stamp it on the smaller Crumb Cake piece.
Use the Berry Burst Marker to color in the large heart on the rubber stamp block image. Use the Peekaboo Peach Marker to color in the two small hearts on the rubber stamp block image.
Use Paper Snips to cut out the rubber stamp block image.
Mount the "Crafting Forever! Housework Whenever." sentiment from the Crafting Forever Set on Block B. Use the side of the brush tip of the Markers to color directly onto the stamp. Use the Basic Black Marker on the scroll between the two sets of words. Use the Berry Burst Marker on the "Crafting Forever!" Use the Peekaboo Peach Marker on the "Housework Whenever." Breathe on the stamp to moisten the ink. Stamp in the center of the white square.
Unlock the 1-3/4" Circle Punch. Holding the punch upside down so you can see the punching area, slide the stamped sentiment into the punch. Center the sentiment in the punching area. Punch.
Unlock the 2" Circle Punch. Slide the Peekaboo Peach square into the punch. Punch.
Adhere the white sentiment circle to the center of the Peekaboo Peach circle.
WITHOUT adhering, lay the matted sentiment circles, the scissors cut out, and the rubber stamp block cut out on the box front to get an idea of spacing. Make sure you have looped the long end of the twine around on the box front under all the cardstock pieces.
Use SNAIL and Mini Glue Dots to adhere the scissors cut out to the front of the box so that the handles will be hidden behind the matted sentiment circles and the twine goes between the blades of the scissors.
Use Tear & Tape Adhesive to adhere the matted sentiment circles to the front of the box so they are centered over the ribbon and cover the handles of the scissors and some of the looped twine.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the rubber stamp block cut out to the front of the box so it overlaps a loop in the twine, the right edge of the twine wrapped clothespin, and the left edge of the matted sentiment circles.
Carefully remove 5 Berry Burst sequins from a sheet of Tutti-frutti Adhesive-Backed Sequins making sure you get the adhesive as well as the sequins. Adhere one over the end of the twine to help secure it in place. Randomly adhere the others to the front of the box.
