Baby Boy Explosion Box

19
Aug
Leave a Comment

Hello everyone! Eva on the blog today sharing a baby boy explosion box made only with 4 elements!


There’s nothing cuter than a small DIY box to hold a gift, and even better if it is an explosion box! For this challenge, I used only 4 items: 3 patterned papers and a sticker sheet from the lovely Peek-a-boo you collection.

I love the 3×3 inch cards paper, you can use them to create cards, mini albums and more!

To create my explosion box I scored a 9 3/4 inch square paper and scored it every 3 1/2 inches. I cut the angles and bend the triangles to form 2 pockets on the inside of the box.

Next, I embellished my box with the 3×3 inch cards and some stickers. Aren’t those designs the cutest? The bear is definitely my favorite.

Inside the pockets, I added this 3×3 inch card that they can fill with the baby’s name and date of birth. You can also add pictures and a small note on the inside to make this gift even more meaningful.

I also created a slightly bigger lid and decorated it with a paper bow and a circle tag cut from one of the 3×3 inch cards.

This little box turned out super cute and the best part is I didn’t use many supplies!

Have you ever made an explosion box? This is the first one I make and it is certainly not going to be the last one!

Use only 4 items to create this lovely explosion box made with @pebblesinc new line Peek-a-boo you p.c.@evapizarrov

And how about making a mini album with only 3 items? Check out the post I wrote last month to see how I recorded a family weekend in a simple and quick mini album.

Hello, Pebbles’ fans! Eva on the blog today, sharing some boxes made with the Jen Hadfield Banner Punch Board and my favorite summer collection: Oh Summertime!

The Banner Punch is perfect to decorate parties and create awesome decor for your tables and walls, but did you know you can use it to create triangular boxes?

To start, cut a 4-inch wide paper strip. Place it over your Banner Punch Board on the 4-inch mark and cut the left side of the triangle. Use a scoring tool to score the right side. Next, flip the paper, move the scored line to the left and score again on the right side. Repeat these steps until you have 5 triangles. After the last one cut your paper using the blade.

Assemble your box by overlapping two triangles and close your boxes with some washi tape. I used the Oh, Summertime tapes, the colors and designs are awesome and I love that I get wide and thin washi tapes on one package.

To decorate my boxes I used some die cuts and a mini banner made with the Banner Punch Board. These boxes are perfect for a pool party or a summer birthday!

Hello everyone! It’s Eva Pizarro on the blog today sharing with you some fun treat boxes made with the new Spooky Boo line from Pebbles.

alt text: Create a fun set of treat boxes for this Halloween with this tutorial from @evapizarrov using the new #SpookyBoo line from @pebblesinc

We always have candy for the kids during Halloween but I always like to give my closest friends some treat boxes during Halloween. These ones are perfect because they are easy, fun and you can make them in just a few minutes.

Start with a 6-inch x 8 1/2 inch paper and use your Trim and Score Board to score at 2, 4, 6 and 8 inches on the long side. And 2, 4, 5.5 inches on the short side.

Cut the bottom lines and trim the piece of paper you see on the left (I traced the lines with blue so you can see them better)

Place a bit of glue to your tab and close the box in half to adhere the tab to the other end of the box.

Next, add a bit more glue to the bottom of the box and close all four sides.

Finally, take the tops and close them like a milk carton using a clip.

To decorate my boxes I used some stickers, die cuts and those cut spiders! You can also cut a patterned paper that has tags and use them to embellish your boxes!

Now all you have to do is fill the boxes, I used sweets for these photos but you can add some good chocolates, I am sure everybody is going to appreciate that Halloween treat!

And here are all my boxes done, they are cute and very easy to make. You can give them to coworkers or also put names and use them as place cards for a Halloween party, that would be fun!

Halloween Bat Treat Boxes

It’s still toasty outside, but my autumn-loving heart is already starting to plan Halloween parties, treats, and all sorts of fun!  I’ve seen similar projects in the past and I knew this was my year to create some fun Halloween Bat Treat Boxes with the new “Spooky Boo” collection.  They turned out pretty cute and they were so easy to create, they’d be perfect for an entire class or a whole neighborhood – and best of all, the kids could help make them too!

Here’s how easy they are!

First, cut a pillow boxes from patterned paper.

Use a strong adhesive to secure the box edge.  You can add treats now or add them later.

Cut a tag from the “Let’s Party” paper:

Use the tag as a template to cut two additional tags from coordinating papers:

Stack the tags and staple them together at the top:

Now you’ll want to cover the staple.  Choose a sticker or a printed die-cut from the collection.

Use foam adhesive dots on the back of the sticker:

And place the sticker directly over the staple:

Add the stacked tags to the top of the pillow box with strong adhesive.

I chose to use the glittered wall bats from the collection to add to my boxes.  You could also cut bat wings from black cardstock or patterned paper.

Use a strong adhesive to attach the box over the body of the bat:

That’s it!  So easy, right??

Repeat, repeat, and repeat – create a few or a dozen or more!

Hawaiian Luau Party Decor

Aloha everyone, Heather Leopard is here and with summer fully upon us here in the States, I’ve been daydreaming about Hawaii. I figured why not throw a little Hawaiian party on a random Friday?!?!

Aloha Luau Party by @HeatherLeopard @PebblesInc #MyBrightLife #aloha #madewithpebbles #hawaiian #luau #party #pineapple #luauparty #partydecor #giftbag #goodybag

The new My Bright Life collection has the perfect mix of colors to pull this Hawaiian Luau Party off. The decor I created includes garland I cut and strung, cupcake holders and toppers to resemble a pineapple and a few goody bags. Let’s take a look at how it came together

Lei inspired garland

Aloha Luau Party by @HeatherLeopard @PebblesInc #MyBrightLife #aloha #madewithpebbles #hawaiian #luau #party #pineapple #luauparty #partydecor #giftbag #goodybag

The backdrop features a lei inspired garland. To get this look, I cut plumeria flowers out of two different patterned papers as well as palm leaves in two different sizes and then large yellow circles. I created 7 garland strips each containing 10 pieces (a mix of flowers, leaves and circles). Once I had 10 pieces for each strand, I ran them through my sewing machine with a straight stitched until I got to the end. I repeated that process 6 more times.

Pineapple cupcakes

Aloha Luau Party by @HeatherLeopard @PebblesInc #MyBrightLife #aloha #madewithpebbles #hawaiian #luau #party #pineapple #luauparty #partydecor #giftbag #goodybag

So I cheated with store bought cupcakes and they’re a mix of chocolate and vanilla – not pineapple but I dressed them up as pineapples.  Using a cut file I purchased, I simply cut cupcake wrappers and pineapple toppers using my electronic die cut machine.

Aloha Luau Party by @HeatherLeopard @PebblesInc #MyBrightLife #aloha #madewithpebbles #hawaiian #luau #party #pineapple #luauparty #partydecor #giftbag #goodybag

The wrappers have little cuts in them and when you bend them back slightly, it resembles a pineapple.

The pineapple toppers can be inserted right into the icing. So easy and oh so cute!

Goody Bags

Aloha Luau Party by @HeatherLeopard @PebblesInc #MyBrightLife #aloha #madewithpebbles #hawaiian #luau #party #pineapple #luauparty #partydecor #giftbag #goodybag

Since Hawaii is known as the rainbow state and “Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World” by Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwo`ole is one of my all time favorite songs, I made Rainbow tags for the goody bags.

Aloha Luau Party by @HeatherLeopard @PebblesInc #MyBrightLife #aloha #madewithpebbles #hawaiian #luau #party #pineapple #luauparty #partydecor #giftbag #goodybag

They are cut into squares and feature a scallop circle and “Mahalo”, the Hawaiian word for Thank You. I decided to add some palm leaves and a flowers as well.

I hope this mini Hawaiian Luau party I am hosting for my girls this weekend has you daydreaming of Hawaii as well.

Mahalo,

Heather
