ARTFUL INKABLES BLOG HOP!

Welcome to the Artful INKables blog hop! Today's theme is FLOWERS and after our loooong snowy winter I sure can use some flowery inspiration! If you have come from JACKIE'S BLOG you are on the right track.

The flower pot from the IN MY GARDEN set was used to make a little name place card/treat holder.  I think it would be perfect for a  Mother's day brunch.  I have a short tutorial on how it was made below. 

The next stop on the hop is DAWN'S BLOG.

TUTORIAL

Although you could use any circle shape for this part I used the Spellbinder's Renaissance heart die to cut two sides. The edges were cut as shown.

Since the paper used was one-sided, the back was sponged with coordinating ink.  The bottom was scored about one inch up and parallel to the flat edge and folded in toward the sponged side.

The two sides were attached to form a sort of envelope.

The rectangle is 5-3/8X2-1/4 inches.  It was scored at 1-3/4, 2-1/2, 4-1/4, and 5 inches parallel to the short side and at 1/2 inch along the long edge.

Form the box as shown.

The sides of the box were scored so that the edges fold inward.

The box was then attached inside the die cut pieces and the front was decorated as shown above.  A piece of ribbon was threaded through the holes in the die and tied at the front. It is pretty small but would hold a box of tic tacs or other tiny treat.
