Groovy Challenge

Welcome Stampin' Friends!

When I first saw the picture that is this week's challenge at  Stampin' Royalty I was imediately reminded of the 70's not that I remember much about them, I only experienced half of them.  But the colors in this photo screamed 70's to me, what do you think? 

My favorite part of this inspiration photo are the daisies!  I love my Daisy #2 Die (#114520)!!! And it has been a while since I have used it.  What a perfect challenge to use it on!  

You can not do a 70's piece with out ORANGE!  I thought I would make a little goody bag, it might need something made with lemon to go inside!  I got the idea for the bag from one that was at Leadership, made with the Fancy Favor die (#115965).  Here is how I made mine.

1. First cut and assemble the Lucky Limeade box as you normally would with the Fancy Favor Die (#115965).

2.Cut a piece of Peach Parfait patterned paper from the Just Add Cake DSP (#124339) to 3-1/2" x 12, lay it on the Fancy Favor Die (#115965), so that you only cut the top of the box, lining the paper up with the line just above the part on the die that cuts the bottom of the box. 

3. Here is what the DSP piece looks like die cut and assembled.

4. Push the sides of the Lucky Limeade box in a little, this will make getting the top on a little easier. Now, slide the DSP piece down over the Lucky Limeade Box and push the sides of the DSP piece in as well to match the box. 

 

5.  Add some Mulitpurpose Liquid Glue (#110755) to secure the DSP into place, repeat this on all four sides. I know I do not have much glue there, a little does go a long way, it just took me a long time to get this shot and some of the glue dried!  You can use a titch more than that! 

6. Punch two holes in the top of the bag with the Crop-a-Dile (#108362), thread the ribbon through the two holes and tie a nice bow.  I used about 12" of Daffodil Delight Grosgrain Ribbon (#120928).

7. All you need to do no is embellish it!  I embellished mine with Daffodil Delight cardstock ( die cut with the Daisies #2 Die (#114520).  I have four of the largest flower, three of the medium flower and three of the smallest flower.  After die cutting them I curled the petals down with my Bone Folder (#102300).  Next I folded the petals up, so they look like this...

8. Stack up the flowers, gluing each down with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).  Then I added one of each of the flowers from the Boho Blossom Punch (#119858) to the center, after I snipped inbetween each of the petals and curled their petals up and in a little.  Last but not least I added an Old Olive Brad (#119740) to the center. I hot glued the flower to the box to make sure it STAYED! 

9.  The tag was made the Pennant Parade Stamp Set (#122742) and the Jewelry Tag punch (#117190) and tied on with Lucky Limeade Baker's Twine (#125572).

Pretty quick and easy to make the box and would be perfect little gift holder!

What are the dimensions of the finished goody bag? It will be a bit before I can make one myself and just wondering if this will fit the bill for an upcoming need :) (I don't think I have the fancy favor die)... Oh! and what are the dimensions needed for the cardstock piece? Thanks! :)
