Money Roll Boxes

Just a quick share today~these are money roll boxes from the Silhouette Store.  The file is super easy to put together!  I didn't decorate them up too much, but still fun.  They were for my twins birthdays and who cares about the box when there is money inside!

Inchworm Card

Here is a cute card I made using a file from Fleurette Bloom called Inchworm!  What a cute file and cuts so perfect.  It is so easy to put together and the color combos are endless!  I chose these colors to go with the twine. 

I used bakers twine from Trendy Twine ~ the cute color is Lime Grapesicle.  I wrapped it around the long, white rectangle and tied it with a bow.  

I pulled out my sewing machine and added some quick zig-zag stitching with white thread along the edges.  I used a white gel pen to add some cute dots here and there for highlights and lots of inking around all the paper piecings.  For dimension, I added foam pop dots.

The green polka dot cardstock is actually fuzzy velvet and feels so nice!  And the purple cardstock has a stone-like texture to it...so lots of texture going on with this card!

The sentiment is from a Stampin' Up set.

Make sure you go check out all the great files from Fleurette Bloom!

Pac Man Slider Card

I just love this Pac Man card I made using a file from SVG Cutting Files! The file is called Gamer Retro Slide Card.

Simple and fun!

Silly Monster Card

Here is a simple little card I made for a birthday boy.  The file is from SVG Cutting Files called 

Monster Bash.

Little Piggy Card

Here is a cute card I made using a file from Fleurette Bloom called "Piggy".  Isn't it just too cute!  The pig is also on a action wobble so it jiggles all around...what a happy little piggy!

The twine I used is from Trendy Twine and the color is called Bubblegum Taffy.  I punched holes all around the center circle and then threaded it through for a stitching look.  I also added bows on the pigs ears.

The scalloped rocker card is from the Silhouette Store.

The sentiment was printed on the computer and punched out.

I inked all the edges of the cut piecings and everything is popped out using foam pop dots for lots of dimension.

Here are my projects:

My littlest one is starting Kindergarten in just a few days, so I wanted to make him something special to ease the nerves.  I used the Pour Box file and filled it with one of his favorite candies, Skittles!  I used files from School Titles and School Days to decorate the outside of it.  I inked the edges of my cut piecing's, added some ribbon around the whole box and highlighted areas with a white gel pen.  The letters and the pencil are attached with foam pop dots to add dimension.

My second project is made using the Crayon Box. I love this simple and easy-to-put-together box!  I filled it with his other favorite candy, Sweeties!  To decorate the outside, I used the crayons from School Days.  Again, I used foam pop dots to add some dimension, a white gel pen for highlights, some ribbon and a few color coordinated buttons.  I like inking the edges of my paper piecing's too.

Both of these boxes are so simple to cut and piece together and can be decorated and embellished in so many creative ways!

Don't forget to stop back by tomorrow for

Day 2 of the Hop.

Have a Creative Day!
