Stampin' Up Pretty Pocket Card Kit - Free Sale-A-Bration Item - Alternate Card Boxes - Swirly Bird, Swirly Scribbles - II

It's another dark and dreary day outside today.  The main roads are o.k. to drive on now; but, our little country roads are a disaster!  It would be nice to see the sun shine again!

My share for today is two boxes that I designed using Stampin' Up's Pretty Pocket Card Kit, Swirly Bird Stamp Set and Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies.  The Pretty Pocket Card Kit is one of the Sale-A-Bration items you can get from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure when you spend $50 in Stampin' Up product (before shipping and tax).

Let's take a look:

Pictured above is the first Card Box that I designed using two of the Pocket Card Bases from Stampin' Up's Pretty Pocket Card Kit.  
 

I took two Pocket Card Bases and cut the Back (the non-printed portion of the Card Base) of each Card in half lengthwise so that you have a piece cut off that measures 1-7/8" x 5-1/2".  *Save this piece for the Bottom of the Box.

I then adhered the two Pockets Card Bases together at the sides using the adhesive that's already on the Card Bases.  

I took the 1-7/8" x 5-1/2" and trimmed off 1/4" from the 1-7/8" end (so you now have a piece that measures 1-7/8" x 5-1/4").  I then scored the piece at 1/4" from each end and added Tear & Tape adhesive to each end.  I removed the adhesive from each end of the 1-7/8" x 5-1/4" piece and from the two triangles on the bottom of the Card Bases.  I folded the triangles inward and my score line tabs downward and inserted the 1-7/8" ends with the adhesive in-between the sides of the bottom of the box and the triangles.  I hope I explained that right and that it makes sense.  

I cut one of SU's White Tea Lace Doilies in half and adhered it over the pre-printed doily on the front.

Using SU's 5/8" White Satin Ribbon, I wrapped it around the Box and tied it into a pretty Bow at the top of the Tea Lace Doily.

Using SU's Swirly Bird Stamp Set, I stamped my Flower in Rich Razzleberry Ink and my Leaves in Wild Wasabi Ink and die cut them out with SU's Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies.  I adhered the Leaves to the back of the Flower with Mono Multi Purpose Glue and to the Doily with a Stampin' Dimensional.  I also fussy cut the 2 little Branches and adhered them in-between the two leaves.

I'm not the best at making rosettes; but, they sure turn out pretty!  It's not easy to fold them up with these arthritic hands.

I trimmed out a piece of Pool Party Designer Series Paper at 2" x 12" and scored it every 1/2" and then flipped it over and scored it every 1/4".  I then folded it accordion style, adhered the ends together and placed it in a flat circle on top of a gob hot glue on my Silicone Mat.

Using SU's Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies, I die cut out the smallest Circle from So Saffron Cardstock.  I stamped a bunch of Flowers and Leaves in Calypso Coral, Rich Razzleberry, Pool Party and Wild Wasabi.  I adhered the Center Flower with a Stampin' Dimensional and the rest of the Flowers and Leaves with Mono Multi Purpose Glue as shown in the picture above.  I then adhered the So Saffron Piece to my Rosette with Stampin' Dimensionals and to the Card Box with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.

Using SU's Swirly Bird Stamp Set, I stamped  the Flowers and Leaves on my Envelopes with So Saffron, Calypso Coral, Pool Party and Rich Razzleberry.

I'm Over-the-Moon happy with the way my Card Box turned out!!!

 I think the color combination is so pretty!
 

Here is how I store my leftover pieces and Cards from the Kit.

These Gold and White Striped Tins are another Free Sale-A-Bration item.  I just LOVE them and they're great for storage for a lot of different things.

As you can see on the inside, I have a lot more Pretty Pocket Cards that I can make.  Actually, I'll be showing you some Alternate Cards that I designed on my blog tomorrow.

Bonus Day!  Here's the second Box that I designed.  This one is quite large so you could actually put a good size bag of candy or cookies in it.  I would have shown you; but, I don't have enough candy or any cookies right now!  =(

All you do is adhered two of the Pre-printed Pocket Card Bases together at the sides using the adhesive that's already on them.

Sorry that my picture turned out blurry.  I have no idea why!

Anyways, you do the same as the Card Box above only you cut a piece from another Pocket Card Base that measures 4-1/8" x 4-3/4".  Score 1/4" from each end of the 4-3/4" sides.

Add your Tear & Tape, Fold and insert in-between the sides and the triangles of the Bottom of the Box.

I put one of my Pretty Pocket Cards into the Box to show you how the Sentiment would show through the negative label die cutting. 

I adhered the other 1/2 of the White Tea Lace Doily to the front of the Box, wrapped my Ribbon around the Box and tied it into a knot in front.

I made more Flowers, Leaves and another Rosette and adhered it under the Knot and onto the Doily with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.

Above is a picture of the inside bottom of the Box.  You can always cut a 4-1/8" x 4-1/4" piece of another Pocket Card Base and adhere it to the inside bottom of your Box to make it look a little cleaner.  I opted to leave it as is.

Above is a picture of the Box on an angle.

And, another picture of the front of the Box.  I think my Rosette turned out pretty good!  =)

Yup...I'm happy with the way both of them turned out!!!

Very fun projects!!!

That's all I have for today.  Thanks for stopping by my blog!
