Cuttlebug Special Project #3

Hello to all Cuttlebug Challengers!

It's Kirsty here

Welcome to Special Project #3.

I hope I haven't confused you all with this project being numbered. You would be all wondering where projects number one and two are? I have done two other tutorials on here already.

So I have now decided I will number them so you can keep track of them much easier, and know which ones you have had a go at. I hope you all enjoy this months tutorial.

This project is a little gift for that someone special in your life on Valentine's Day February 14th. But you can adapt this little project to anything by using your cuttlebug embossing folders. I have used these little beauties as table favours at Birthday parties and workshops.

I hope you all enjoy this months project and have a go! Enjoy!

What you will need-

• Heart Cuttlebug Folder
• Cuttlebug
• Versa Mark
• Heat Tool
• Clear Embossing Powder
• Small cellphone bag
• Length of ribbon
• Valentine's Day stamp
• Chocolates/Lollies
• 1- 8.5 x 12cm Rose Red CS
• Scrap piece of Rose Red CS
• 1- 1.5 x 7cm Vanilla CS
• Stapler
• Tools- Scissors and Tape
• Chocolate Chip Ink
• Rose Red Ink
  

1- Pass your two pieces of Rose Red CS through the Cuttlebug with the Heart folder.

2- It should look like this.

3- Fold and bone the 8.5 x 12cm piece carefully so not to flatten the embossed image.

Fold so it is now 8.5 x 6cm.

4- With your scrap piece cut out one of the raised hearts.



5- Push it gently into the Versa Mark 'til it is all wet.




6- Cover it in Clear embossing powder.



7- When you go to heat and melt the powder, put a little re positional adhesive on the back to hold it in place on your work station when you use you heat tool so it doesn't blow away.




8- Stamp your sentiment with the Chocolate Chip ink on to the right side of Vanilla CS.

9- Softly sponge Rose Red ink around the edges.

10- Tape the heart to the left of the sentiment and then tape the whole piece to the Cuttlebugged flap.

11- Insert the ribbon in the flap and tie a bow around so it hides your crease.

12-It should look like this.

13- Put your Chocolates or Lollies into the bag, fold down the opening of the bag and staple it.

I think heart shaped chocolates from Darrel Lea would be perfect. I only had snake lollies on hand. I'm not saying my loved one is a snake though....lol

14- Place tape on the inside of the flap on both sides.

15- Adhere it over the stapled section of the cellophane bag.

16- Ta Da! That's all there is to your sweet little gift for your loved one!



I hope you all enjoyed the tutorial and remember I have only done a basic example. There is plenty of room to do more detail if you like using stamps and more Cuttlebug embossing folders.

I look forward to seeing every one's examples. Don't forget if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!
