These fun happy papers from the Scrumdiddlyumptious line were perfect for this layout about my daughter playing at the park. One great idea for using 8×8 patterned papers in your scrapbooking is to block them, sort of like you would a quilt! Try sewing down the edges too for added texture.
To create this gift box I used a forgotten package from the jewellery store and re-purposed it as a template. Here is a link to your own Pillow box Template
Undo the box and trace around the outside edges, marking the foldlines as well. Score the fold-lines and cut around the outside edges. Trim two finger holes on two ends of the box and adhere it together on the side.
Decorate the gift box to suit the person you are giving it to and thoroughly enjoy the smile from the lucky recipient…x

“I was immediately inspired by the the long pennant flag and the circles on the gift bags. And although the circles aren’t in the same position as in the inspiration photo, I love that they still feature on my layout!”

I’m a big fan of all the paper ribbons in my Pretty Little Studio collections, and the photo inspired me to pair some of my Tiny Paper Ribbons with Kraft cardstock and green patterned paper to create this fun little birthday card.

Today I am going to share with you how easy it is to make the quilting pattern background seen in the out of the box challenge earlier this month. The process is super easy and simple.
First cut six 3/4″ x 6″ (approximately) strips, If you would like a longer quilt pattern simply ensure that you add an additional 1/2″ to the completed length as portions will be removed in later steps.
Cut approximately ten 1/2″ strips. I used a mixture of papers from the Scaredy Cat collection in both the 8″x8″ size and 4″x4″ size for my 1/2″ strips.
Apply double stick tape along the length of one 3/4″ strip and begin adhering the 1/2″ paper strips at the angle you prefer. I used my eyes to estimate an angle approximately 45 degrees. After adhering the first 1/2″ strip use it as a guide for the application of the remaining 1/2″ strips until the covered 3/4″ strip has reached the length you like.
Cut off the top and bottom portion of the 3/4″ strip to form the quilt pattern angles using the first and last 1/2″ strips as a guide.
Turn the 3/4″ strip over so that the back side is facing you. Carefully remove the overhanging 1/2″ strips using the 3/4″ strip as a guide. It is very important to cut this as accurately as possible.
Use the first strip as a guide to mark the angles for the remainder of the 3/4″ strips. Remember to flip half of the 3/4″ strips so that the angle goes in the opposite direction to make the quilted “points.”
Repeat steps three, four and five until you have completed all 3/4″ strips.
Apply tape to the background paper and align the completed 3/4″ strips to form the quilt pattern.
Finish your project using the quilted background and enjoy!

When using this tutorial remember that changing the size of the 3/4″ or 1/2″ strips will dramatically change the look of your quilted background. For example check out this card I created using the same quilt pattern technique. For this card I used eight 1/2″ strips instead of six 3/4″ strips for a more delicate result.
We would love to see how you use this quilted background technique, please share your inspired creations on our Pretty Little Studio facebook page for everyone to enjoy!

I used an image of a notepad as a mask on the paper to obtain a jagged edge. Masking is an easy way to obtain different shapes.

I used the Love Notes Collection to cover the box and the cards. I added “My Dear” Vintage tags and Love Notes Cutout Vintage Illustrations. The box is just perfect for some heart shaped chocolate or an expensive gift.
