Felt Box with Katie Cupcake

A speedy little project & a simple post for today, since I'm away and on an unfamiliar computer (aka old n' slow, & not my beloved speedier 'puter--but better than nothin'!) ;o)

I had a blast playing with felt & Katie Cupcake.

One of the new releases from Little Paper Shop which you can find here.

(and today is the last day for the LPS sale--June 22nd!)

Step 1) Print, cut, & score any box. (This one is a 2 and 5/8" box. There's a lid too, but I went lid-less with this one.)

Step 2) Make decorative panels by: Adhering felt to cardstock & piercing & stitching

I used dollar store felt from my Bam-Bam (aka Grandma) :O). It's great since the package has a variety of colours. It is on the thin side, but gluing it to cardstock fixes that! I found Alene's tack it over & over to be the perfect adhesive & stuck it under a pile of books overnight to dry nice & flat. The cardstock makes it really easy to cut & stitch the felt.

1. Glue felt to cardstock
2. Cut pieces the size of your box side
3. Dry flat
4. Pierce with paper piercer
5. Stitch if, you like

Step 3) Adhere felt panels to the sides of the box

Step 4) Emboss & colour an image. This Katie Cupcake has marvy Uchida puffy velvet pen (the purple icing) & Copic colouring. The sprinkles are beads glued on.

And that's it!

Short, but hopefully a little sweet.While I'm still relatively out of commission, I'm going to try & remember K.I.S.S.: keep it simple stamper! hehehe. ;o)

May your day be an amazing one!
:O)
