Hello Sunshine!

Leave a comment

Happy Monday!

Sometimes the sweetest gifts are the simplest ones.  This cheerful little box of sunshine (SVG, Silhouette) is filled with bright yellow treats, refreshing drink mixes and a few happy extras to remind someone they are loved.  Whether you are celebrating a birthday, cheering up a friend, thanking a teacher or simply sending a little encouragement, this project is a fun way to spread a little sunshine.

The adorable smiling sun and sunny rays make this gift impossible not to smile at!  I used Lori’s Our Groovy Summer and with all the coordinating embellishments and it was perfect for all the finishing touches.  Fill it with all things yellow and surprise someone special.

Life is always a little brighter when you share a little sunshine!

Nugget Box Tutorial

My cute little neighbor kids always get a little holiday treat from me and so when I saw these nugget boxes (found HERE) I knew thats what they were getting. I did alter my box some so you can see my wrapped nuggets. I cut the wrap/outside of the nugget box in acetate.

First, cut your pieces and get your nuggets.

Fold on the score lines. Below will show you where to add your adhesive. I like Scor-tape for a secure hold. When assembling the box make sure you adhere the tabs inside before folding the edges over or else your tabs will show.

After gluing your tabs, fold the edges over and glue them in place. Below is what your completed nuggest box will look like.

The wrap for the nuggets isn’t on the file but those just need to be cut 1 inch x 3 inches. Add tape to both sides on the same end of the paper and attach it to the nuggest.

The acetate in the following photos is hard to see but essentially just cut the slide part of the file and fold on the score lines. Adhere with strong adhesive on the tab to complete the box.

Slide your nugget box into the acetate sleeve. I added some twine around the box for a little extra love.

I wrapped my nuggets to resemble a flag using paper from Lori’s Echo Park Have A Holly Jolly Christmas and paper by Fancy Pants called Hometown Summer.

 

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting.

Surfing Van Box Card

Hello Friends, Summer vibes are here!  I am sharing this fun and colorful Box Card Surfing Van (SVG, Silhouette) featuring a cute little road trip scene, beachy elements, and lots of cheerful layers. The design was so much fun to create and is sure to bring a smile to anyone’s day! I used the papers and stickers from the Our Groovy Summer collection by Echo Park Paper Co.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Buzzing with Kindness

Spring seems to be just around the corner…I am sure there is more winter to come here in South Dakota…but I am remaining hopeful.  And with Spring just around the corner, it’s time to think about gardening and bees.  So I broke out Lori’s Bee Happy collection.  This is such a fun collection, and it’s perfect for Spring and Summer.

First, I used Lori’s A2 Honey Card.  Silhouette Just the cutest little shaped card.

And next Lori’s Beehive Box Card.  SVG I love to make both styles of these cards.  Always my favorite and I get to use lots of embellishments from the collection.
Here’s hoping Spring is on the way and that the bees visit my garden
