 Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixer Craft, thank you for watching my tutorial today, this is a project that I'm making with the February Craft Kit from Hobby Base UK and I have come up with this really cute adorable, sweetie shaped gift box. So it's just again I just play around with card and I came up with this little design and I was really pleased with how it's turned out. So this is using one of the shoots of 6x6 as I mentioned before when I had the January kit I am making sure I'm going to be using all the papers. It's using the ribbon in the kit and then this champagne embossing powder and this lovely little love sentiment from the stamp set and then all you do is just undo one of the ends. You could stick one end completely shut if you wanted to and it just comes apart and then it opens up to pop in any treat you want so you can put little chocolates in there, a little bit of jewellery, all sorts. And you can fit this for any theme, obviously I've done this as a love theme for Valentine's but there's no reason why that can't be a pretty favour for a wedding, birthday parties, Christmas you name it it will work so and then just do the ribbon back up again but I'm not doing the bow because you know I can't do them very well, it takes me ages anyway. So let's crack on and make this. So I'm using another sheet so in this month's kits there are 10 sheets of different patterns 6x6 paper so the next one I'm choosing for this tutorial is this pretty one here with the butterflies and the roses. Pop all that to one side, that's the ribbon that you get, you get two metres and it's got this pretty heart, I'm picking it up very well though you can just kind of make it out it's got these hearts running through it. I've got the love already stamped on here, that's the stamp set that you get so there's tons of stamps on this one, actually didn't count how many you get one that's yeah one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen, I'm not sure if I've done that again, yeah I think it's fifteen that would make sense wouldn't it, I don't think it says on the back there but yeah that's a lot of stamps and they're really really nice so I've used the love one here. So that's those then I've used that's the embossing powder the champagne that's the wow and again these pots last ages so it's again loads loads of bits and pieces and great value for money and then I've got my little verse mark there as well I need because obviously we're heating bossing and it's not until you use a new one that you realize how bad your one is so my my bigger one that I've got although it still works this is so juicy like it's got loads of obviously you know the pigment in it there to create the watermark so yeah I think I need to replace although I don't need to replace the bigger one now because I've got that lovely little cube which will keep me going so let's crack on and start making this little sweet shaped box so you want to score it one and seven eighths of an inch then at two and seven eighths of an inch then at four and three quarters and at five and three quarters you should be left with a little quarter inch tab here on the right hand side and then rotate it and you then want to score again at one and seven eighths of an inch and then turn it so it goes back to the opposite side so that's where I just scored that one and seven eighths of an inch I'm rotating it all the way around popping it in there so I get again score at one and seven eighths of an inch it's just that way I know I get exactly one and seven eighths of an inch on each side and that's basically this piece on each side here okay so that's all the scoring done let me just remove the scoreboard and then I'm just going to flip it over and you can see those score lines much much better so if I just kind of hold it in place there so you've got your quarter inch tab there at the top and then you should have little rectangle square rectangle square and then again rectangle square rectangle square rectangle square rectangle square and you can see what I've done now is I've put across so with that tab at the top that quarter inch tab at the top I've then put across on the four outer squares okay just from corner to corner just a light pencil mark and that's just to give you a kind of guide to where we need to cut this kind of triangle shape to give that make it that kind of look like a sweet wrapper okay so we do that in a minute so next you just want to burnish your score lines so just go along and just crease all of those so okay and then we just need to do some cutting so I've got my tab here on the right hand side you want to cut up this one and this one just to that first score line okay and then like I always say just take off the very carefully just remove any of the score line that you have any of that lumpy bit just kind of get rid of it it just makes it easier for you to close it you don't get overhang anything overhanging and because these bits are going inside to kind of close the box I'm just taking a little bit off like a wedge off of each corner there and each side sorry just like so and go along to the next one again and then this one just cut down again like so cut that out like that and then just remove a little more from there I just lay that down you can see now what I've done okay so just taking little wedges out of these tabs here and you've got those nice squares that we've just put the crosses through then rotate the whole thing and just do the same again so this time we're starting on this corner so just cut up that first one where you've got that tab and remove that completely and then again just cut down little bits from these ones again so that's what you should now have now what we need to do is just cut these into our shapes now you're not gonna you're not gonna follow the pencil marks exactly what you want to do is let me just do this one first and then you can see how I do it so I'm starting from the corner here and I'm gonna cut down but I'm gonna start to come away from the pencil mark until I meet kind of lined up there with that corner and again down here because if you go right up to the the very middle you'll end up cutting these off completely it's kind of a bit like a cracker you just want enough like so you just want enough of it just to wrap the ribbon around but if we cut too close we'd end up cutting that off completely so you can see there what I've done so you can see where my pencil mark is and where I've actually cut so that's what you want to do it's hard to really explain in words but again here you can just see I'm cutting up but I'm actually cutting and then you want to fold that kind of under just so you can get your scissors in fold that down just so you can get your scissors in there and again just kind of work your way up until you meet it you don't need to worry if it's a little bit untidy because it's gonna be hidden with ribbon and they don't need to exactly you know match as long as it roughly does and I'd say you want to make sure you get your point on the outside here just so it looks obviously nice and neat like so so again let me go along and do this one here so starting again from the corner and I'm just kind of roughly I'll do this one as well at the same time kind of working my way in there fold all that in again so you can get your scissors in just meeting it up and then again on the side make sure you tuck everything down like so otherwise you could end up cutting it off with your scissors underneath just be careful every time you cut so again there's another one I've done okay so I'm just going to repeat that on these two here that's the shape you should now have so if I flip it over you can see what we've done and then all you need to do is just go over just carefully and rub out those lines now all done so all we need to carry on with is just sticking it together and then you're pretty much there it's very very relatively quick to do really so just stick down your tape like so just remove the back in that just came off straight away fold that one over and then this one should sit perfectly over the top like so okay so you can see it now coming together and then all you need to do is fold these pieces in like so and then as you do that you bring these down and it will keep them all closed like so and there is your sweet wrapper gift box I absolutely love this I just again as I always say I end up talking to myself when I make these things half the time because I just think it's really clever how it's all come together so let's get some ribbon and do our bows so I didn't do that very well how much am I using here what's that nine inches so let's just see how this is because I didn't measure it before so I'm just going to tie a loose little knot okay so there's one nine inches is literally just the right amount it is a little bit fiddly you may want to go to 10 and then just trim it but it does work fine so again I'll pop that one on in a minute and then you just do your little sentiment so I have got this piece here which I've already rubbed with my anti-static powder over the top so all I need to do now is just ink up my stamp with the Vesemark and then I'll run it through the dye machine afterwards because it will flatten it out that way in case it gets a little bit walked from the heat and then grab this I'm gonna grab a little bit of scrap paper there and then this is that champagne embossing powder like I said these go such a long way that will last for some time and then just tip back in any excess and you can see it just coming up that really it's a lovely color actually when this one melts get rid of that grab my heat gun bring that up can you see it's just a beautiful champagne color like I said I've not got that color so it's a nice addition and I think I'm going to be using that a lot so love that and then just going to pop this through I've just got a circle die here which is coming in at two inches just pop that over the top like I said this one I've flattened that card run that one through nice little sentiment and then I'm going to grab actually I'll use this and I'm just going to do this one up because what I did is just for these little tails here I used it from the bits I cut off I'm going to tie this one up okay so that's just a bit of the scrap there and I've just put little cut little tails at the either end there and then what I can do is just kind of fold it like so just so you get that kind of effect and then that can go on the back make sure it's on the bottom like so just so it's hanging down a little bit this is optional I just thought it was a nice extra touch and I'll just stick one of my foam tabs over might squeeze one more in here actually just so it's nice and full just stick that down in the middle like so and there you have it so that is really really quick it didn't take me long at all and you have these really cute little sweet wrapper style give boxes so there you have it so that is the first project that I made with the February craft kit from Poppy base again I'll share all those links in the
