Decorated Mini Paper Pumpkin Box

Hi Everyone,

Today I have decorated a Mini Paper Pumpkin Box using the Curvy Celebrations Bundle and the Poinsettia dies as part of a showcase of projects that I made for a Team Pootlers event. Let me show you how I made it:

Materials

1 mini paper pumpkin box

1 sheet of 6" x 6" dsp (I've used Classic Christmas)

Scraps of So Saffron card stock for the flowers

Scraps of gold foil for the sprigs

Scrap of whisper white for the sentiment mat

Stitched so sweetly dies

Curvy dies

Stampin Cut and Emboss machine

Crumb cake ink

Quite Curvy stamp set

Poinsettia dies

Multipurpose adhesive

Rhinestones

Trimmer

Bone folder

Instructions

Assemble the paper pumpkin box, it goes together really quickly, just fold on the lines and it just clicks into place.

Run the dsp through the die cutting machine using the die of your choice, I have just used the one with the row of holes. You will need the trim the excess from these pieces but it depends on how big a gap you want between them so measure it against the top of the box and then trim accordingly. I then glued on the bottom section so I could stamp the design.

Stamp the design across the box following the curves.

Then adhere the top section of the dsp to the box, again you will have to trim it down.

Run the so saffron card through the die cutting machine to cut out one full set of petals for the 3 layer flower and 2 of the smaller complete flowers. Then die cut 2 springs from the gold foil.

Layer up the flowers and curl the petals with a bone folder and glue them together and add the sprigs to the back. I have trimmed a couple of tiny pieces from the main sprigs to add to the smaller flower. Add a rhinestone to each flower centre and then add to the box with adhesive.

Stamp a sentiment on the scrap of whisper white and then die cut with the smallest scalloped rectangle die and add to the box with glue.

There you are, a pretty box ready to give someone the perfect gift. I hope that you like it.
