Lots to Love box-Cheers Banner

  Are you wondering what a banner is doing on this week's Lots to Love box features?  Well, I made this banner using the box framelit. And here's how....

1. I cut out one box from the Bubble and Fizz designer paper that is free with a $50 order, and one box from some basic gray card stock.

2. I folded the box on the score lines and used some tear and tape adhesive to hold the two together.  This makes each part of the banner strong enough to be attached to the ribbon.

3. I then decorated each one of the banner parts using the Large Letters Framelits, some ovals of contrasting Bubble and Fizz designer paper.

4. I punched a hole in the top of each section and tied it to a piece of ribbon.

  After I made this sample I kept thinking of other ways to make a banner.

-Use my granddaughter's name and mail her a banner for her March birthday
-Make a banner for my downline with top sales for January and put the word Congrats on it
-Make a banner with the word love on it and have it at the breakfast table for my husband on Valentine's Day.

  What can you envision using this banner idea for?
 Do you think there is a way to turn this skinny little box into a much bigger box?  Come back tomorrow and I will show you how. 

Lots to Love box- Flat envelope with gift certificate

  Do you like unique gift card holders?  Especially one that you can make yourself?  Would you believe this is made using the same box framelit that the box from yesterday's post?

Here is how I made the holder.
1. One box shape
2. One additional piece with the measurements above.
3. Cut out the pieces on the box that are marked with an x.
4. Fold the score lines and attach the rectangular piece on top.
5. Decorate to your liking.

  This shows how a gift card could be included inside.

Wasn't that fun?  Now do you wonder what you will see made from this box tomorrow?  How about a banner.  Come back to check that out.

Lots to Love box with cards

Do you love making a box?  The Lots to Love framelit set has a great box pattern.  I will be featuring it this week and showing you several different ways to use the box pattern.  Today I am just going to show the box as it is used in the framelit set.

 You cut out two of the box patterns and glue them together to make this cute small box.  It can be used to hold a gift card, some candy or some cute note cards.

I punched a circle from the designer paper and inserted it in the inside of the envelope to be matchy.

I have used the Bubble and Fizz designer paper that is a free Sale a Bration item to make these cards.  I also used the Whisper White Narrow Note cards and envelopes to make the cards.  These can not be sent as is in the mail, but could be placed in a regular sized envelope.

This is what the front of the envelope looks like.  

 All 4 of these cards and envelopes will fit nicely into the box.

Tomorrow I will show you how to use one half of the box pattern to make a flat envelope that can hold a gift card.

Beautiful Peacock-Tutti-Fruitti cards and envelopes

  Can you tell what the background of this card is made from?  Both of the swirls in the Beautiful Peacock stamp set in different colors of green.

 There is another free Sale a Bration item on this card.  It is the card base made from the Tutti-Fruitti cards and envelopes.  One of the great items you can earn is a set of 16 card bases and 16 envelopes.  There are 4 designs and colors of both the card bases and envelopes.  The base is yellow which explains these accent pieces.

  The saying is from the set called Birthday Wit.  It is almost my favorite item from the Occasions catalog and will be used often on the birthday cards I send out each month.

  Are you excited about this Beautiful Peacock stamp set.  Remember it can be yours with a $50 order from any catalog that is current. Thanks for checking in with me.  Come back next week and see what you can make using the Lots to Love box.

Beautiful Peacock-Beautiful Friend

 Here is another card made without using the peacock.  This time I used another one of the swirls that make up the peacock's tail.  I added the saying that comes in the set-Beautiful Friend.

What can be better than a simple and easy card to make.

Tomorrow I well share one more card using the swirls and another small item similar to the flowers I used in this card.
