COUNT ON ME KANGAROO TISSUE BOX TUTORIAL with HAND-PENNED PETALS- Stampin' Up!

Hi Friends!

My project for today is a Kleenex Tissue box that measures

4 1/2 x 2 1/2 x 1". I used the NEW Count on Me stamp set along with Hand-Penned Petals stamp set, Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper, Layering Circle dies and Highland Heather Grosgrain Ribbon.

You can watch my Video Tutorial Here!

I started with a piece of Highland Heather Cardstock sized

8 x 7 1/2".

I scored the 8" side at:

1, 3 1/2, 4 1/2 and 7".

I scored the 7 1/2" side at:

1/2, 1 1/2, 6 and 7".

To cut and put the box together you can watch my Video Tutorial Here.

I put the box together using Tear and Tape.

I added 3/8" Round Velcro Dots inside the side flap to keep the tissue box closed.

I added some of the Hand-Penned DSP to the box in sizes:

(1) 4 1/4 x 2 1/4 for the front of the box.

(2) 4 1/4 x 3/4" for the long sides of the box.

I rounded the corners of one side of one of these pieces to attach to the side that opens.

(2) 2 1/4 x 3/4" for the top and bottom.

I attached the pieces to the box with Liquid Glue.

I stamped the Kangaroo image from Count on Me stamp set onto Basic White Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Ink.

I fussy cut the image before coloring it.

I colored the image with Stampin' Blends:

Light and Dark Soft Suede for the Kangaroo body,

Light Crumb Cake for the Kangaroo Belly and inside ears,

Light Smokey Slate for the nose,

Light Highland Heather for the flower petals,

Dark Daffodil Delight for the flower middle and

Light Mossy Meadow for the leaf.

I cut out a Basic White Cardstock Circle and a Highland Heather Scalloped Circle using the Layering Circle dies.

I attached them together, Basic White on top, with Liquid Glue.

I decided where I wanted the sentiment, from Hand-Penned Petals stamp set, by placing the Kangaroo loosely in the area I wanted it. Then I stamped the sentiment to the left with Tuxedo Black Ink.

I attached the Kangaroo image to the circle with Liquid Glue and attached the entire embellishment to the front of the box with Dimensionals.

I tied Highland Heather Grosgrain Ribbon around the bottom of the box and tied a bow at the front.

For the final touches I added Wink of Stella Glitter to the flower and 2021-2023 In Color Jewels around the Kangaroo.

Today's project is a gift box for a Bath Bomb. It is a Flip Top Milk Carton that measures 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 x 4". I also made a 3 x 3" card using the Pansy dies to make the Large Pansy. I used Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper, Pansy dies, Rectangle Stitched dies, Layering Circle dies and Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon. This box is large enough to fit the normal size Bath Bombs from Lush or you can put a smaller one in with some tissue paper.

I attached small Velcro Dots to the inside of the top flap and bottom of the front flap.

I ran Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon inside the box and then closed the flap. I tied a bow on the outside of the box. This way the recipient doesn't have to untie the bow to get into the box!

I cut a small rectangle from Fresh Freesia Cardstock using the Rectangle Stitched dies. I stamped the sentiment from Pansy Patch stamp set with Tuxedo Black Ink onto the right side of the rectangle. I cut the Rectangle down to 2" and attached it to the front of the box with Liquid Glue.

I cut a Smooth Circle from Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper and a Scalloped Circle from Basic White Cardstock using the Layering Circle Dies. I attached them together with Liquid Glue. I punched a hole at the top with a 1/8" circle punch.

I added some Silver Trim from the Simply Elegant Trim pack to the tag and tied it around the middle of the bow.

I added Wink of Stella Glitter to the Pansy and 2021-23 In Color Jewels to the Pansy middle and the left side of the sentiment.

The 3 x 3 Gift Card

I started with a 6 x 3" piece of Blackberry Bliss Cardstock.

I scored the 6" side at 3" and folded it over to make the card base.

I cut out the Pansy using the Pansy dies:

I cut the bottom of the flower from Basic White Cardstock,

the top two "sea shell shaped" petals out of Fresh Freesia Cardstock,

All of the Fringe pieces and the middle from Blackberry Bliss Cardstock,

and the middle dot from Daffodil Delight.
