Valentine Candy Pillow Box with Pam Bray

Hi! Pam here today sharing how to create this sweet Candy Pillow Box. Start by making the box. I actually have a Pillow Punch Board from WRMK so it makes it easier to make, but I know there are other avenues for a similar pattern.

Cut two pillow boxes from two different pieces of patterned papers from the Pillow Box Punch Board. Fold one of the pillow boxes into shape, add Double Sided Tape to edge, and seal closed.

Fold one end of the pillow box closed. Place 3 mini candy bars inside the pillow box through the open end and fold closed.

Trim off the curved ends of the second pillow box to form a belly band. Place a small Scallop Circle Nesting Die in the center of the belly band and run it through a die-cutting machine. Note: This cut will create a small window in the band, allowing the patterned paper of the pillow box to show.

Place the belly band inside the Confetti Embossing Folder and run through a die-cutting machine.

Lightly sand the embossed belly band with a Sanding Block. Wrap the belly band around the pillow box and decorate.

I hope you enjoy making candy containers for Valentine's Day and hope it will be a sweet day for all!

Hugs, Pammejo

Blessings with Pam Bray

Hi its Pam here today. I'm sharing my "Blessings" card that I created using the Confetti Embossing Folder from the Couture Creations Elegance Collection. I just love the Core'dinations Kraft Core Distress Cardstock and think the burnt orange is just perfect for the fall card I made.

The Kraft core really pops when I used my Sanding Block to sand the top of the embossed pattern and I love how the sunflowers look against it. I fussy cut my sunflowers out with my Sharp Point Scissors, after I colored them with Copic Markers, and placed them onto the front of my card with a bit of Foam Mounting Tape. I hope you have a blessed day!

Hugs,
Pammejo

Hugs and Kisses by Pam Bray

Hi! Pam here today. I wanted to share with you my Hugs and Kisses card I made using the Couture Creations Confetti Embossing Folder and Picture Frame Nesting Die. First we have to a bit of embossing to do, so gather a stamp, a piece of white cardstock and embossing ink. Stamp the image on to the white cardstock and, taking three different colors of embossing powder and a small spoon, carefully put a bit of each color onto the stamped image. Tip: I do this by going lightest to darkest, making sure that I have a tray for each color and shaking the excess embossing powder off prior to going to the next color.  Using your embossing gun, heat set your embossing powder.

Now here's the fun part! Take the embossed piece of cardstock and place it in a favorite Couture Creations embossing folder. I used the Confetti Embossing Folder from the Couture Creations Elegance Collection.

 Here is a closer look of the beautiful embossed cardstock.

I added some Couture Creations Foam Mounting Tape to the back of the card and then adhered it to my card base.

I ran the Couture Creations Picture Frame Nesting Die through my die-cutting machine, added a stamped white oval piece behind it and placed it to the top of my card front once I had my ribbon tied around my card.

I added a few embellishments to the front of my card once I had the frame in place. 

Hugs,
Pammejo
