Vintage Hanging Box

Hello crafty friends,
Here is a vintage hanging box I created using the Cricut Artiste Cartridge and some stamp sets.
vintage box bbr-650
I cut the box at 11” using some paper from the Nana’s Nursery Girl DCWV Stack.
vintage box cu650
In this close up shot you can see that I stamped some cream paper using the lace border stamp from the Sweet Memories Stamp Set. I used the Slate Ink Pad and then trimmed it out. I adhered it to the top edge of the box. I also used the Scalloped flourish stamp from the Beautiful Friendship Stamp Set. Again, using the Slate Ink Pad and then trimmed it out.
vintage box side650
Here is a side view. The box automatically cuts out the holes for the ribbon. You can also see that I trimmed the edges after adhering the strip of stamped lace. The box is on an angle so I had to trim the lace on a bit of an angle so it would lay flush at the corners. I then used some flat back pearls for some accents as well as in the center of the flower.

Here is a close up of the stamped medallion I hung it below. I used a frame from the Sweet Memories Set again, using the Slate Ink pad. I did it twice  so it would be double faced when hanging. I purposely left the center blank as I haven’t decided what to do with it. I then used the light pink ribbon and hung it below. I also used a pearl bead as an extra soft touch.

In this shot you can see that I stamped the cream panel with the rose stamp from the Sweet Memories Stamp Set. I did the second generation technique using the Blush Ink pad. It is not a great picture, but it is a nice soft pattern.

Cut out the same flower accents in 4 sizes.

inked edges650
I then used a sponge to ink their edges with Blush ink.
layered650
I started by layering the three largest layers. I used a thin barreled dowel to “curl” the three layers.
cut flower650
I then took the next layers and cut “slits” in them so that the petals were more flexible.
curledup650
I then used the dowels to “curl” the petals “the other way”  This would allow me to really curl the petals up.

Here is another shot to show you how easily you can “curl” the petals up.

Here is the curled up center (one layer) next to the base.

Lollipop or Rolled Flower Tutorial


Lollipop or Rolled Flower Tutorial

UPDATE:

The tutorial below is the same technique I used for creating these flowers pictured above.  The exception: I used the 50 States Cricut Cartridge to cut the shape out. I then cut an opening so that the cut would "open up". See photo below. Everything else is the same.

To start, you will cut out the flowers in the desired paper.
If you need a cutting file, you can go to PaperCraftingWorld.com for some :-)

Next I Inked the edges of BOTH sides. I wasn't too careful about how I inked as I wanted the flowers to have a "shabby" appearance.

After inking the edges, I spritzed some Glimmer Mist onto my mat and used a sponge to brush it onto the rose.
100% coverage. If you don't have Glimmer Mist, you can always use plain water.

Here is a shot of brushing the Glimmer Mist On.

Now you will begin to roll the rose. With the paper moist, but not too wet, it will be very easy to bend the paper without tearing it. You can use anything you have that has a round, smooth barrel. I used the barrel of my chalk applicator.
Just begin to wrap it around your object. The smaller the object, the tighter the roll.

Here is a shot of the paper rolled around just once.

Here is a shot of it rolled a few times.
I just tried to keep the "roll or wrap" as parallel and or straight with the rest of the roll.

Here I am at the end. The middle will ultimately be your bottom.


Now I just attached a glue dot to the bottom and will "sit" the rest of the rose on that.

Here is the finished rose. This shot was actually taken BEFORE I glued it down.
When you do this with "moist" paper, it will keep its "roll" or shape real well.


Here are a few variations. Some were the same, I just rolled them "tighter" the little one was the file sized down and the darker pink ones are from a patterned paper that had a white core.
