Milk Carton

I stumbled across this cute little milk carton box, and apparently there is a die you can buy to make it.  Well, I figured that I could figure it out, couldn't be that hard!

So here is my pattern. 

You will definitely need a score board for this.

With your paper horizontal, score at 1/2", 2 1/2" and 6".  Turn clockwise, and score at 1", 3 1/2", 6" and  8 1/2".  Make a second set of scores only down to the 1/2" horizontal line at 2 1/4", 4 3/4", 7 1/4" and 9 3/4".

Score the top portion as shown on the horizontal.

Prefold on the score lines.  Cut the bottom 2 1/2" section up to the 6" score and remove the bottom left piece, and assemble.

I am going to try and get a video up and step by step tutorial on how to do this as well.

Anniversary Card

This is the card I was working on the other day.  The secret one!

I stamped the background on red with the heart stamp from Confession:  i {luv} unity in black and silver.  The sentiment is from the January 2010 Kit of the Month Club which I popped up with 3-d Dots.  I then cut out a mask, and stamped the red heart in the middle with a homemade mosaic stamp, and outlined it with my white signo gel pen, and added some Queen and Co. Rhinestones in the corner.  The blue mat underneath is embossed with hearts from the Fiskars Texture plates, and finally I added some diamond stickles to the heart on the sentiment.

Today is our 6th anniversary, and DH's B-day, so we're celebrating in style.  Yesterday we went to the Cheesecake factory, and tonight we're hitting our favorite italian restaurant.  I Love love!
