LOVE CATS VALENTINE TREAT MINI TOTE with COUNTRY FLORAL LANE - Stampin' Up!

Shop Stampin' Up! Here

Hi Friends!

My project today is a Valentine Treat Mini Tote that measures  4 1/2  x  3  x  1 1/4".  I used Love Cats stamp set, Layering Circle dies, All That dies, Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper and Black & White Gingham Ribbon.

You can watch my Video Tutorial Here!

I started with a piece of Sweet Sorbet Cardstock sized

9  x  5 3/4".

I scored the  9" side at:

1/2,  3 1/2,  4 3/4  and  7 3/4".

I scored the  5 3/4" side at:

1 1/4".

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

Below is a picture of how your Cardstock should look like after scoring and cutting.

(1)  2 7/8  x  4 3/8"  Basic Black Cardstock

(2)  2 3/4  x  4 1/4"  Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper

I attached the Basic Black Cardstock and Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper BEFORE putting the  box together.

I attached 1 piece the DSP, sized  2 3/4  x  4 1/4",  to a piece of Basic Black Cardstock, sized  2 7/8  x  4 3/8", with Liquid Glue.

I punched a 1" circle in the top of the 2 pieces.  I laid the pieces on top of the front of the box and made a pencil mark where the circle was punched out.  Then I punched the circle into the front part of the tote.

I glued the DSP and Cardstock onto the front of the box, matching up the circles, with Liquid Glue.

I attached a 2nd piece of DSP to the back of the box and then cut the circle in approximately the same spot.

Finally I used Tear & Tape and Liquid Glue to put the Tote together.

I stamped the Cat, from Love Cats stamp set, onto Basic White Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Ink.

I cut the image out using a 2 3/8" circle die from the Layering Circle dies.

I cut a  2 5/8" scalloped circle from Basic Black Cardstock also using the Layering Circle dies.

I attached the two circles together with Liquid Glue.

I attached the entire piece to the front of the Mini Tote with Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White Cardstock with Sweet Sorbet Ink.

I cut it out using the small oval die from All That dies.

I punched a hole in the beginning of the sentiment with a 1/8" hole punch.

I cut two pieces of Black & White Gingham Ribbon to 15".

I tied them through the holes in the top of the Tote.

I strung the sentiment onto the right side and tied a bow.

I colored the Heart and Nose with Stampin' Blends.

Dark Flirty Flamingo & Light Real Red  -  Heart

Eyes  -  Dark Petal Pink

For the final touch I added 3 Sweet Sorbet 2022 - 2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots to the right side of the image.
