Curvy Keepsake Wednesday

Hello and welcome back to another Curvy Keepsake Wednesday...

This weeks box is all about the Bear...Cute little Teddy Bears..

 

Sorry about the photos but its very sunny today (not complaining) and I couldn't get a decent photo! I love Teddy Bears so much so that I have a vast collection of furry friends so I thought I would create a Teddy Curvy Keepsake Box.

 



 

I really love how you can change one thing and it gives you a totally different look, for example the eyes, on the boy bears I used just black with a white gel pen highlight, on the girl bear I used white and black and I even gave her some eyelashes lol.

 

The Teddy is really simple, it's just the basic box which I have sponged around the edges. I used the large oval punch for the muzzle and trimmed it down to make it smaller and added the nose which is waste from cutting out the Curvy Keepsake Box!

 

The eyes have been cut freehand and the mouth has been drawn on, tip if you are not good at drawing mouths then punch out the small heart from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack and turn it upside down and draw around the bottom part of the heart.. perfect mouth.

 

The ears are 1" circles, score a line towards the bottom of the circle and fold over, snip the smaller portion and bend to shape, stick to box with Tombow glue, it gives you wiggle room.

 

I used my Chocolate Chip Stampin' write Marker to add some detail to the face and a white gel pen to add some highlights to the eyes and nose.

 

They are just so cute, perfect for children's parties and they don't have to be brown.....

Halloween Treats Basket

Hello and welcome back....

Today I have been making baskets using the Berry Basket Bigz L, I have had this die for some time and I can't believe I have not used it until now!!! I have cut out several for Halloween and while I had the Big Shot out I thought I might as well cut a few Christmas ones as well....

I cut some Pumpkin Pie Card Stock 5" x 8 1/4" which fits over the die with minimum wastage. You will need two of these as you will put it through the Big Shot twice. (although I put them both through together and they cut through fine)

You will get two scalloped pieces and two plain pieces, you can  use either, I chose the scalloped pieces. Then before I stuck them together I stamped the Basket, Trim and Handle with the Hardwood stamp, I masked off the bottom of the basket with Post It notes as I wanted it to be plain.

The Trim has two score lines which you can crease and you used the little tabs to stick the two pieces of trim together. You then stick the two main pieces to the trim one at a time. Lastly you add the handle, I attached mine with some tiny brads.

Then you can decorate them as you like, I stamped some white tissue paper with pumpkins and put that in the basket before adding some bags of treats.

Then I made a tag using the scalloped Tag Topper punch, added a pumpkin and some leaves and an oval which I stamped first with the Hardwood Stamp and then with Happy Halloween from the Stamp Set And Many More.

All finished, you may be able to see that one basket is stamped and the other is not... I definitely prefer the stamped basket....what about you?

Curvy Keepsake Wednesday

Hey there and welcome back to another Curvy Keepsake Wednesday...

This weeks Curvy Keepsake Box is a cute little Puppy Dog and aren't they adorable....

We have Spot on the left and Jess on the right. To make them you need to make up your curvy keepsake box, for these I used Soft Suede Card and sponged around the edges with soft suede ink.

This is what you will need for the Punch Art part of the box. I started with the muzzle, for the spots I used the stamp from the Watercolour Wonder stamp set and stamped spots all over it. Then I glued the nose in place and also the tongue.

I then stuck the muzzle to the box using dimensionals. I stuck the eyes together and added them to the box using dimensionals.

I sponged the ovals and using a bone folder I curved them slightly and glued them to the inside of the box at the front as per the picture... Add some detail to the eyes and nose using a white pen.

For Jess I used smaller circles for the eyes and added a little red bow....

I also made a little name tag using one of the dies from the Curvy Keepsake Die set and added a name using the Alphabet Rotary Stamp....

I hope you like his weeks Curvy Keepsake Box, check back next week for another cute box....

Thanks for stopping by...
