Love Your Smile

Happy Valentine's Day everyone ! Today I'm sharing a flip top box tutorial created as my guest project for Ladybuy Blessings. I filled it with little sweets for SJ who's always ready with a cheery smile when I need help at KCK. Hope you had a wonderful CHA trip SJ.

Instructions :



  1. Copy this template onto a 7"x12" paper



  2. Cut out the flip-top along the green cut lines.



  3. Decorate your fli- top. I used a cute bear face sticker from Cosmo Cricket



  4. Crease the black fold lines on the template, glue up the tabs to form the box



  5. Glue the flip-top to the box lid



  6. Your box should now look like this



  7. Glue the bear body to the front of the box



  8. Fill your box and glue a piece of string to the inside of the flip-top



  9. Stamp a sentiment on the flip-top if you like



  10. Add a sentiment label, some flowers and ribbons to complete the gift box


Have you gotten that special someone in your life a Valentine ?
Is it something romantic or fun and silly like mine ?


Linking up to these parties.



Supplies :
Pattern Paper - Basic Grey Marrakech (Vanilla Chai), Sassafras Fawned of You Too (Girl's Best Friend), Sassafras Sunshine Lollipop (Dreamsicle), Sassafras Pocket Full of Rosies (Branch Out)
Embellishments - Cosmo Cricket Nutmeg sticker, Autumn Leaves clear stamp, Queenie & Co brads, Basic Grey Sugar Rush brad, Making Memories Jigsaw Shapes chipboard, twine, tulle, butterfly button




Update :


I was so touched when Jayma emailed me. She converted my template into a MTC and a SVG format so that it can be used with a variety of cutting machines. If you want to play with it just head over to her blog.

Sandy, what a gorgeous bear box! So colourful and playful too. I'm a recycler, and I could see this idea adapted on a cereal box or cracker box. Great inspiration! Thank you!
