Hello there.  How are you all today.  I hope you are starting off your weekend with something fun to do.  If not, here’s a fun box to make to keep you entertained. 🙂  I’m a giver, what can I say?  Lol.  I hope you enjoy today’s project, as it is using my favorite patterned paper “Cupcakes & Carousels”.  To my knowledge, I have never been on a carousel, my Mom may correct me if I am wrong, she comments on most of my blog posts and she’s my editor (I need something stronger than spell check, don’t you know?)  Anyway, I just love the vintage feel of the design and of course the colours.  So saffron is my favorite yellow and I really dig the peach too.  Tell me what your favorite Stampin’ Up! colour is…I would like to know.  On with the show…

I know, I know…the titles of my posts are ridiculous.  I would hire someone to come up with amazing titles for everything but basically today I am making a box that houses a small tin of Nivia cold cream.  I do have a funny story included in the video about my family so even if you aren’t a box maker you may want to tune in to hear the way my family worked when I was little.  Don’t worry Mom, I haven’t spilled the beans about how weird we all were.  🙂  Anyway….hello there and welcome to another box making tutorial everyone.  Woop, woop!  It’s Friday and it’s a great day to get your craft on.  Hope you like the video and of course the supply list is below the still picture and the video follows that, with the recipe underneath.  Have yourself a great weekend folks and I will see you Monday. Oh, PS, I didn’t realize that this ribbon was retired so in the description I did leave an alternative for you to try if you like the colour.  🙂

Hi there.  I hope you are having a good week.  This project was created out of necessity.  It seems as if I have too many washi tapes to use so I store them away in different places on my desk.  I will admit that I have a washi hoarding problem so I need to address it and try to find a solution. The solution is to use them up!!!!  So, I have decided to put them some where that has easy access on my desk but keep them all together like (and if the container could look pretty that would be nice too).  Check out my solution…
