Oh Nuts!

Hi There! Saundra here from Luv Scrapping Together!

I have to say that autumn is one of my favorite seasons. It probably has to do with all the wonderful colors that appear with it.

Today I wanted to share this cute acorn box that I put together.

I cut this acorn box using an SVG from My Scrap Chick called Acorn & Pinecone Boxes.

Here are the products I used to put this box together:

Echo Park This & That - Charming Collection (dark brown)

Bazill Kraft Cardstock (base)

Fig Beige Crinkle Ribbon

The Twinery Cappuccino Baker's Twine

Prima Flowers

Additional items used:

Until next time...

Happy Crafting!

For the Record 2 POCKET

Hi everyone it's Lenae here from SugarGem with your Tuesday inspiration! Today I finally got some time to play around with the Echo Park For the Record 2 Tailored collection from Pumpkin Spice Store! These are totally my colors with the pinks and greens with a splash of black! I made a little happy birthday pocket tag card. This pocket is super duper easy to make I took a couple pictures to show you how I did it at the end of this post.

I used some yummy crinkle ribbon and some new twine from My Minds Eye All is Bright collection. This twine collection is Divine!!!!!! You get three colors and the light color is not white it is off white making it look so rich! It is my new favorite find LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

I even fancied up the inside to make this card extra special!

Here is the front of the card with the tag pulled out. I think it is cute just like this too. What do you think?

For the Record Layered Chipboard for the large flower and the button on the tag.

This is the front of the tag. Love this bold pattern. I cut one die cut with the patterned paper then....

cut the same die cut with solid paper and laminated the two together to stamp on the back!

I used the Happy Birthday stamp from the exclusive Pumpkin Spice My Pink Stamper Birthday Doodles set and the flower and lines stamps are from the My Minds Eye The Sweetest Thing. (Another FAVE FIND) You will be seeing these stamps for Christmas cards for sure!

Here is how I made the pocket.

I cut a piece of double sided paper to the width of my card(4.25") I just eye balled the height. I think it is approx 4.5" tall. I scored it at 1" and folded that flap over and stapled with some tiny staples. I covered the staples with paper buttons I die cut.

Then I used tape on the back to form a pocket and adhered it to my card. Easy Peasy!!!

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a great week.

If I can inspire just one person today I have done my job!

XOXO SugarGem

"This & That" Anniversary Box

Happy Monday everyone. It's Carissa from Happily Ever Paper Crafter.
This weekend my family and I celebrated my grandparents 65th wedding anniversary. My grandparents are just the cutest couple. They laugh together, and travel, and just love each other so much. What an amazing example they have set for our family. As a gift, everyone in the family participated in a "mail call", writing letters and cards for them. I created this box to hold all the letters in.

I bought a plain black scrapbook box from my local hobby store. I painted the top with white acrylic paint. When that was dry, I applied a thin layer of Modge Podge and laid down some paper. After layering more paper and the title, I applied a final layer of Modge Podge to seal everything in. The flowers and embellishments on top were glued on with hot glue.
