Tutorial:
1. Cut the 3D Tool Box in a dark green cardstock. Fold on the score lines.
2. Pull one of the sides up and then tuck in the tabs in the corresponding slots on the scored tabs.
3. Repeat step #2 for the other end.
4. Cut the handle rectangle piece in light green cardstock. Place adhesive tape on one edge.
5. Remove the adhesive backing then flip the paper over and place another piece of adhesive tape on the other end (opposite side). Place a marker in the paper and roll.
6. Place the handle through the holes of the tool box.
7. Size the Kissably Irish sentiment to fit the front of your box and cut in light green cardstock and adhere as shown.
8. Use the Shamrock shape from the Lucky Card to cut three large shamrocks in dark green and three slightly smaller shamrocks in a light green. Adhere the center of smaller on to the larger shamrocks.
9. Place the shamrocks are shown on the handle.
This next project is one of my new favorites from Samantha! This is her Easter Basket Card Silhouette cut and it is amazing! The amount of detail that this card has is just fabulous...have a look!
Samantha Walker Supplies:
Silhouette Cuts: Easter Basket Card
Other supplies:
Cardstock, Prism, The Paper Studio, and American Crafts
Fringe Scissors, Martha Stewart
Tutorial:
1. Cut the pieces out for the Easter Basket Card. Fold on the score lines for the card base.
2. I ungrouped the egg pieces then removed the highlighting area cut then cut the three whole eggs in a light cream cardstock. I use these behind my colored eggs.
3. We will start with the basket for the card front. Take your card base and then weave in the basket piece as shown.
4-6. I weaved several pieces to start then pushed them over to the right. Then I weave a couple more strips and then finally the last strip. Once you have them weaved, you can easily slide the strips around within the card slots to space them out.
7. Adhere your colored eggs over the whole cream eggs.
8. Place foam adhesive on the card base eggs to give more dimension.
9. Adhere your eggs onto the card base.
10. Adhere the center of the small bow on to the center of the large bow. Fold the small bow up slightly as shown.
11. Place a small adhesive square in the center of the bows then apply the "knot" to the center.
12. Slide the handle piece down over the bow as shown.
13. This is the back of the handle/bow piece just so you can see how it fits.
14. Adhere the basket/card mat on your card base leaving a slight border.
15. Adhere the bow/handle piece to the basket as shown.
16. Tie a small string around the tag then slide the knot behind the tag. Embellish as desired.
17. Place the string around the bow knot.
18-19. With dark green cardstock, use fringe scissor to cut blades of grass.
20. Fold the blades in "v" shapes and tuck them into the basket.
21. Your finished basket should look similar to this image!
