Happy Birthday Pillow Box

Hi guys!  It's Jamie with you today! We are often looking for little gifts for classmates or to go with cash gifts for parties and clear pillow boxes are so much fun!  I filled the large pillow box with plastic army men, one of our favorites, and used the gorgeous red grosgrain ribbon to tie a pencil to it to complete the package!

 

Tutorial:

1.  Cut a piece of white cardstock to 3/4" x 12" then adhere the flag border from the We've Got Your Border #57002, Birthday.  Fussy cut the border leaving a small white edge around the flags.

2.  Cut the border in half, leaving one a flag larger than the other so none of the flags are cut in half.

3.  Trim the top edge of the white cardstock so there is just a slight white border across the top.

4.  Fill the large pillow box with army men and close.

5.  Place the large circle cupcake sticker from the We've Got Your Sticker Plus #54002, Birthday to the center of the pillow box front.

6.  Next use the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Sitckers By the Dozen #62001, Birthday below the cupcake sticker.

7.  Adhere the smaller banner across the top of the pillow box as shown.

8.  Adhere the larger banner piece across the top in the opposite direction as displayed in the photo.

9.  Cut a 20" piece of red grosgrain ribbon and tie it around the top of the box, placing the flag banners over the top of the flat ribbon.  Tie a bow with the red ribbon toward the right edge of the box.  Cut a 9" piece of Maraschino twine and tie it around the red ribbon bow.

 Stitch up the sides with sewing machine.

 Trim off threads.

You could cover them with paper if they were written on- or use that 

for a vintage style background. Just spritz with some color and start creating.

I hope you enjoyed my ideas today. I had so much fun making them. 

Until next time- keep on creating!!

Forever Friends Wine Tag by Crystal

Hello Ribbons Unlimited Friends!

It's Crystal here with a cute wine tag using the Ombre 1 1/2" ribbon in Pumpkin , this ribbon is so pretty, I had to make a wine tag with it using my Prima doll stamp.

I first stamped a script background stamp on tan card stock  then I stamped my doll.  I am going to paper piece her dress so I stamped her dress on a small print designer paper from a 6x6 paper pad.   I colored the skin and headband and shoes and hair with colic markers.

I shaded the dress with copics ( doing this will really add to your paper piecing , it take it to the next level of OOOOhh ) and then shaded the outer edge of my dress , I do this so if I don't cut it out just perfect you wont be able to tell, it will blend right in with the dress!  Next, fussy cut the doll and dress and then glue the dress on our doll.

For my tag base I am using the Prima tags, I get it ready by stenciling with embossing paste and yellow stickle mixed and stencil on small scattered stars. I stencil with Tim Holtz blenders and Stamping Up Coastal Cabana and Calypso Coral ink  and an open circle stencil , I ink the edges with Walnut distress. I sprinkle on  shabby white embossing enamel and heat from the back side to melt then add die cut floral swirls and die cut some spiral roses from left over script tan paper and color spray then peach and sponge walnut distress on them. I add my Ribbon by threading the end thru the hole from back side so I have a loop to put over the wine bottle neck and tie in a bow and angle the tails , this ribbon as a thin wire edge so the bow will stay perky and beautiful

This is a close up of the Stampendous shabby embossing enamel 
( my local scrap booking store ordered this in for me )

I added some small glitter dots to the tag here and there too

I really love playing with these paper dolls! This tag will make an awesome addition to a bottle of wine or 2  liter soda for a dear friend.  The Ombre Ribbon comes in many colors and can be found in the Ribbons Unlimited Store . I hope you were inspired and will come back to visit again, until then I hope you get to create something that makes you smile : )
