~ now for the tutorial you have been waiting for ~

* Stamp your images and color them up with Copic Markers listed above, fuzzy cut the images then

* Die cut 2 double stitched ovals

* Choose one sheet of paper from your paper pack

I used the Love You More pack to combine with the bee and the Hello Life pack with the hamster

Take the sheet of your 6x6 paper pad and fold one edge to the opposite edge

Make a small mark at 2 5/8" on the left of the opened sides

Fold the tip of the right edge to the pencil mark

Fold the tip of the left edge to the right as shown

Fold the paper from above as shown

Your bag should look like this

It needs no glueing but if you feel more comfortable you can use some glue and fix the edges

Stamp the sentiments to the double stitched oval die cuts

Add foam tape to the back

Stick the ovals to your bag

Add the already colored bee and hamster to the bag

I cut off a bit of the hamster so he fits better behind the oval

Your finished gift bags, ready to be filled

La - La Land Crafts - Tutorial Thursday - Box Making

Hello lovelys, are you ready for a cool box making tutorial? Today it is my - Sandra´s - turn to show you how I made this little box covered by another box.

You`ll need the following:

White Cardstock in 8 5/8" x 8 7/8"

Scraps of Cardstock in green and yellow

Gluestick or something similar

Distress Oxide in Mermaid Lagoon

3D Foam Tape or Pads

Ribbon

Nuvo Drops in white

Circle Die of your choice

Love to Garden Clear Stamp Set

Daisies on my Mind Layering Stencil

Double Stitched Ovals Die

Pierced Scalloped Ovals Die

Daisy Die

Two Leaves Die

Take your piece of cardstock, long side above and score at 4" and 5"

Turn paper and score at 1" / 3 7/8" / 7 5/8"

Turn your paper again and score at 1/4" / 1 1/4" / 7 3/4" / 8 5/8" but only score the line like shown above in the photo. It will end at the 3 7/8" line

Cut off on both sides the small 1/4" scored paper and make a cut from the left side to the 4" score line and from the right side to the 5" score line

Fold all scored lines and cut off the marked paper as shown in the photo.

It should look like this. Then you cut a half circle into the paper like shown in the photo

Get your stencil and ink ready. You can color up the whole box or only the outside as I did.

It should look like this.

Let`s start assembling the box. We start with the outside. Get glue on the marked paper and stick it together.

It will look like this when you`ve finished.

If you want you can add a small ribbon into your box, glue it on the paper like shown above and put the box together like you`ve done with the outside box.
