5 in 1 Template Box
I have been dying to make this box since Beate "previewed" it on her blog! The tutorial went up yesterday on SCS. So, today I wanted to do that AND the Ways to Use It Challenge, Heavy Metal, but unfortunately my 9 month old won't nap so I had to make a choice. Then after talking to Beate, she said "you should make a box with metal on it!", so that's exactly what I did! Two challenges in one! The box is a little time consuming with the tracing and cutting, but definitely worth it! I used Karen Foster metal sheets with my Cuttlebug Vintage die to make the corners of the lid, and then used my large oval punch to punch out a "bookplate" and put it in one of my small Cuttlebug embossing folders to emboss a heart on it. The metal sheets already have adhesive on the back which made this part VERY easy. Thanks for visiting and have a great day! SUPPLIES USED: Paper- Oriental Trading patterned paper, DCWV tan and brown; Accessories- Karen Foster Metal sheets in copper, SU 5 in 1 Template, large oval punch, Cuttlebug Vintage die and To/From Embossing set, ribbon from Walmart.

Charmaine, it's gorgeous!
That's BEAUTIFUL...now to head over to SCS and see if I can get the tutorial....
I meant to join SCS a long time ago when I sold SU, but never got around to it. Now, I think I'd feel guilty if I did, because I barely spend enough time with my kids as it is...if I got caught up in SCS, I'd NEVER leave the computer!!!
Awesome, I love the metal corners on the top! They are fun but time consuming that's for sure.
Beautiful Charmaine!! Absolulely stunning!
WOW! That is absolutely gorgeous! I like your metal book plate and the metal corners.
This is totally yummy well done you and with a nine month tagging along, very impressive!!! he he
