Make It Monday #102: Pillow Box Stamping & Assembling

The MIM challenge at Capture the Moment this week is to stamp on an assembled shape like a bag or a box. You can watch the tutorial here and link up your take on the challenge.

I have to confess, I don't own the pillow box die, but was able to make up one with the help of a pencil and scoring tool.





I made the embossed kraft box first and then realized I hadn't fulfilled the "stamped" part of the challenge. Not sure if the stamped label counted - this was made using the Photo Finish Strips die, layered stamps from Love Potion and the Limitless Layers Heart dies.





I cut the second pillow box and stamped it before assembling. The heart outline stamps are from the Framed Out #11 and With All My Heart stamp sets.




Another sentiment from With All My Heart is stamped on the center heart. The smallest two hearts are cut with the Framed Out #11 die and the larger two from the Limitless Layers Hearts die set.




I used the color palette from the ColourQ Challenge #174 for this pillow box.


Here's one last look at both of them:




Thanks for stopping by,

Jacquie

    These are really wonderful pillow boxes. So festive and valentiny! I especially like the one with the Love Potion #9 on it. I forgot about that sentiment (already) and think it is perfect for this.

    Seriously, you made your own boxes without the die! You are too clever! So cute, both of them.
