Totally different looks from the same Friendly Hello designer paper.  You can go soft or bold with it! 

On the top right I added the stamped image from the Friendly Hello stamp set (part of the free bundle during SAB) and on the top left I added a few die-cuts from the Tropical Layers dies seen here.  I think they coordinate wonderfully.

• CUTE Pillowbox ‘treat box’ you’ll love!

  September 21, 2022

  ---

  I made this cute box using the Pretty Pillow Box dies.  Does it look like a pumpkin to you?  

  Save

  It does use the Pretty Pillow box dies for the flat shape of the front of this box, but the box itself is made from a piece of card stock (see measurements below). I found this idea from fellow demonstrator Lynda Emerson.  As usual I changed it up a bit from hers. 

  Products used:

  Crumb Cake card stock, He’s the Man DSP, strips of Mossy Meadow for apple die trim & for the leaves die-cuts, Pretty Pillow Box dies seen here, Stylish Shapes (for the circle die-cut), Penned Flower & Apple Blossom dies, Stripes & Spatters EF, Linen Thread for the bow, Simply Scored Scoring tool

  The inside of the box would hold quite a few treats; it's a good size!  

  Save

  Measurements:

  • Crumb Cake 5 ¼” X 7 ¼” scored at 2" on all 4 sides, plus two die-cut pillow box pieces
  • He’s the Man DSP 2 ¼” X 4 ½”

  Here is what the Pretty Pillow box dies look like:

  Here are all of the projects I made. The other two cards feature the Hello Harvest bundle.
