50th Birthday Greeting Box

Happy Friday Crafters,

The new PDE Link Party #174 Anything but a card (optional Treat Container) challenge starts today.

For this challenge I made a box into a birthday greeting for my best friend's 50th birthday.

She love the beach/ocean so I used sea shell paper to decorate the outside of the box and pulled the theme inside with more of the same paper and a ring of sea creatures on the cake layers.

See below for recipe.

Here is the box closed.  

I kept it simple and just put Happy 50th Birthday on the top.

This is the box opened looking from the top.

I've been wanting to roll some paper to make it look like toilet paper and put "Holy Crap! You're Old!" on a birthday card for awhile now so I thought it would be funny to use that idea and put in on one of the inside flaps of the box so when she opened it this would jump out at her.  LOL  

On the opposite side I took a 50th birthday quote from the internet and typed it in my Silhouette software and sized it to the square I was wanted and used the print and cut feature. 

Here's a side view of the three layer paper cake with tea light.

Close up of the cake looking at it from the top down.

Showing me putting together one of the layers of the cake.  

I used digital paper to get this pattern.  Put glue on all the tabs and slowly attached them to the circle.

Here's a close up of the paper toilet paper.   I sized this in my Silhouette software and added score lines at one end to give it the look where you tear the TP. 

Recipe:

• 3D Three Tier Birthday Cake Tealight Box - Silhouette Design ID#68054
• 3D Three Tier Birthday Cake Cake Tealight - Silhouette Design ID#68051
• Used Miss Kate Cuttables Bubbles digital paper to fill in the pieces of the cake except the scallop edges.
• Scallop edges were filled in with the option to select a color from the Bubbles digital paper to fill in the scallop edges. 
• Click Here for instructions on how to put together the layered cake.

• Sea Animals Photo Frame - Silhouette Design ID#143000
• Shell paper from DCWV 12"x12" The Summer Magic Stack 
• Sentiments stamped on inside panel of shell paper are from Jaded Blossom's Another Year Older stamp set. 
• Happy Birthday on box top is from Jaded Blossom's Supersized Birthday Greetings stamp set.

I hope you share your "Anything but a Card or optional Treat Container" project with us over at the PDE Link Party blog.

PDE Linky Party Friday Challenge - #161 No Cards

Happy Friday Crafters,

Today starts the PDE Linky Party #161 No Card challenge.

For this project I made a St. Patrick's day gift box.

I saw this cute Leprechaun Bowler Hat box in the Silhouette store and thought it was cute so I bought it to make for St Patrick's Day.

I inked all the edges with Glorious Green ink from Stampin' Up and added a sentiment from Craftin Desert Divas Happy Celebrations set.    

I modified the file a bit by cutting an extra piece for the top of the hat.  I didn't like the way it looked unfinished so I took the little hexagon piece included in the file that goes on the inside of the hat and enlarged it to 1.5".   

See the small hexagon placed on the inside of the hat here?  

This is the piece I enlarged to 1.5" to put on the top of the hat.    

I also cut a extra piece of the hat rim with the hexagon cutout to cover the edges.   Sorry I didn't take a picture of it before I added it. 

 It bothered me that it didn't have something that covered the pieces coming together so I had to cover it.  Sorry call me a crazy crafter but I just couldn't let it go looking incomplete.  

Here is the top of the hat before I added the hexagon I cut out at 1.5".  

Here is the hat after I added the extra 1.5" hexagon I cut out.   

Doesn't it look so much better?   

I added some Hersey's Gold Nuggets as the leprechaun's gold.

Here's what the hat looks like with the bottom inserted into the top of the bowler hat.

Project Recipe:

• Leprechaun Bowler Hat Box from Silhouette Store - Design #75442
• Paper's from my craft stash.
• Sentiment from Craftin Desert Divas Happy Celebrations stamp set.
• I don't think this set is available anymore because I couldn't find it when I tried to add the link.  
• Stampin' UP Glorious Green ink

             Happy Monday Evening Crafters

Sharing another project I made with one of the sentiments from the 

Newly released  Scrappy Moms Stamps "Great Outdoors" sentiment set. 

Put the "Good things come to those who BAIT" sentiment 

on the front of a 3D Fishing Tackle Box.  

This little box is perfect to put some special fishing lures and give as a gift to someone who loves fishing.
