took a break January 16, 2008

from studying.  Okay, I read for about 30 minutes till I saw Beate’s tutorial on making a milk carton box.  I have always wanted to make one of these.  I thought, how cute of a gift for a new baby or as a shower gift. 

I used Kraft CS for this project just to keep it simple and quick.  I used Nursery Letters Jumbo Wheel in Versamark ink to the bottom of the box (before assembling), applied Crystal Clear Embossing Powder, and heated to set.  Added kraft stars to top of box created with Star Punch, and adhered using Mini Glue Dots.  Used Fiskars scalloping scissors to top of carton just to add a little something up there cause, like I mentioned, it is plain with all the details at the bottom of the carton. 

The sentiment medallion — started with Shimmery White CS and Scallop Punch.  Next is Textured River Rock CS and 1-3/8″ Circle Punch.  Then, Bashful Blue CS and 1-1/4″ Circle Punch.  Adhere these together and attached a Pewter Jumbo Eyelet to top using Crop-A-Dile Tool.  Added a yellow striped ribbon tab to back of this medallion…ribbon from Sherbert Ribbon Originals.  The star & sentiment is from Nursery Necessities Stamp Set.  Stamped the star in Versamark ink on Kraft CS and used Large Star Punch to cut out.  Stamped sentiment in Blue Bayou ink on Kraft CS.  Attached this medallion to box using Bashful Blue Striped Grosgrain Ribbon.

 

It didn’t take long to make this.  Tried to keep it simple and let the details of the sentiment be the main focal point.

Thanks Beate for the great tutorial:)
