Cirlce Boxes | Packaging Ideas

-
Hello everyone and happy Monday!

Today on the blog I want to share with you how easy it can be to create your own circle boxes. These are perfect for gift giving, packaging ideas, decor and many more.





 You want to begin by gathering all your items. For this project I used several circle dies, making sure one is slightly larger than the other. The larger one will be for the lid, the smaller one for the base. You can also use stencils or any other circular object you have to trace the cirlce. Make sure sure that the largest one is no more than 5 1/4 inch all around.
You will also need three strips of paper measuring 3x12. These have to be either the same color cardstock or pattern paper, to have a cohesive flow.
 All three strips will be scored the 1/2 inch mark, at length,  only on one side. One of those strip you will then cut at the 6 inch mark, and this gives you two smaller strips.
 Adhere one of the smaller strips to one side of one of the long strips. Making sure it only adhered at around a 1/2 , that way you are left with a very long strip to work with.
 Along the 1/2 inch score line, you will cut several notches, from one end of the strip, to the next.
 Bend and fold each notch to create a crease. This will make it easier to adhere to your circles.
 For todays project I will be using the Xyron Mega Runner. I find it to be a very easy-to-use tape runner. Requires minimal pressure and it has a very easy glide.
 Once the desired glue is applied to the notches,  you want to adhere said notches to your cirlce. Choose which size will be the interior of the box and make sure it facing you, so the notches are glued to the back of the circle.

And just like that, either the base or lid are ready! I also cut out two extra circles, in the coordinating size, to cover up the notches before I proceed to decorating.
Stack them up together by size, largest to smallest circle box, and you can create a fun paper birthday cake!

Thank you for joining me today and I hope you have a wonderful and crafty day!

  Hello everyone! I'm back, with my final project for the Altenew Academy Level 2 classes! Todays project features techniques learned during the Masking Unleashed class. I created a fun and vibrant, yet simple card, that i hope inspires you to try out some of these techniques yourself. For this card I will be using the Altenew Wild Hibiscus stamp set, as my main images. I begin by trimming a sheet of heavy weight white cardstock, down to 4.5x5.50 inches. I stamp my first flowers close to the center of the panel. I will stamp this same image, over Avery Removable Label sticker, and cut a long the silhouette to create my "mask". I remove the backing from the label, and then adhere on top of the stamped image on my panel. This allows for foreground and background details on my panel. I repeated the mask process for each flower image (or whatever image being used), so I can fully cover the images on my panel, before continuing my card. Before removing the masks, I will add co

  Hello everyone! I'm back with another Altenew Educator Program class project, and this one is by far one of my favorite classes. Not only is Therese Calvird an absolute gem of an instructor, but she made it fun and interesting with new (and some well known) techniques. I begin by trimming a heavy weight sheet of white cardstock down to 6x6 and lay the Altenew Woven Stencil right on top, and secure it with some washi tape. I will be using Distress Oxide Inks Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick and Seedless Preserves to transfer the stencil image on to my paper. I will go from lighest to darkest colors, making sure to blend each color as I go.  Once all the color is applied, I remove my stencil, and then trim the cardstock down to a standard A2 American size card (4.25x5.50) . Using a circle die, I will cut a portion of the left side of my panel, and I will be left with an opening or window.  Using the Altenew Crisp Dye Inks Soft Lilac, Lavender Fields, Deep Iris and Midnight Violet ; I begi
