Instructions: Click here to see a larger photo of this project. Cut this SVG file of the house in any color you like! Put it together as the instructions will tell you, ink all the edges with the Vintage photo distress Ink to make it distressed. Then I used a piece of Packing material for the bottom, you can take a piece of flat Cardboard and wrap this in Green cardstock, cut a piece of the paper collection and glue this on top of the bottom, then place your house on top of it a little bit offset. Make a fence with the icicle sticks and Ink them with the Distress Ink. Cut a piece of a straw and Ink that too then glue it to the side of the house like a downspout, then you glue the fence to that so it will stand, on the right side behind the fence you can glue a dowel and on top of that place a wooden button, cut out a sentiment from the paper collection and glue this on the dowel.

Cut 3 bees from the paper collection and the Honey pot, put some 3D Crystal Lacquer on the wings and on the pot on the wings you can sprinkle some of the shard glass. Make a table with a wooden bead and a button on top and do the same for the seats but smaller, when the bees and the pot are dry put a piece of acetate on the back of them and glue them on the table and seats, place this in the garden. Put the other bee on a piece of acetate and glue him in front of the top window and decorate it with some green to hide the acetate. Use an old piece of a miniature Christmas light string (dollarstore) and cut 1 light off and glue that next to the door.

Stamp the Coneflower from the Blossoming coneflower set and the backyard Blossoms set and the Garden Edge Cone flower with Rich Cocoa on white cardstock, color them on top with Tangelo and then Sunflower yellow and a mix of Buttercup and blend this in each other, put some glue on the top and sprinkle the decorative sand on it for the pollen. Stamp the Tiny Long flowers from the Backyard Blossom set with the Rich Cocoa and color them with the Vibrant Fuchsia and the Leaf Green, cut them out with the coordinating dies. Place all the flowers in front of the fence and glue them to the fence, in front you can put some miniature train green, the pink flowers you can put them on the left side of the house, put some green in front of it and put the deer Button in front of it. Make a path with some decorative stones and you're done!

Instructions: Card size: 5 1/2 X 5 1/2". Start by making the base from white cardstock, I used a center-step template I found on the Internet here. Cut pieces of decorative paper (the plaid) to cover each space, including the inside bottom, then cut more decorative paper (blue with honey cone) a little smaller to place on top of the plaid. Cut a sentiment from decorative paper for the bottom. Glue all pieces to panels and set aside. Stamp "queen" bee, little bees, coneflowers, honey pot, little bungalow and the smallest sunflowers using black ink on white cardstock and die cut with coordinating dies. Color using Copic Markers, shape each with the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit on the back side of all pieces. Use your fingers and squeeze the Sunflowers down into a cone shape. Using the border punch punch a strip of grass from designer paper. Use very thick glue to "build up" centers and then add Prills. Glue wires colored green inside and allow everything to dry thoroughly. Add a thin layer of transparent glitter to the wings of all the bees (use a sponge or paint brush to apply glue in a thin layer, make sure to rinse glue out of brush or sponge right away). After everything is colored and all glue is dry, it's time to put the card together.

Glue house to left side of center, coneflowers to both narrow sides, the honey jar at the far right bottom next to sentiment, the "Queen" at the top right of center and the sunflower/coneflowers next to the house. Cover bottom with a border of grass. Glue little bees on, some with acetate to hang off/hover over Coneflowers. Add Prills in various colors for flowers at bottom, around house, and in pots. Glue the tiny gold ball onto door for knob. Some pieces (the Queen, honey jar and some parts of some Coneflowers) are popped up with foam tape.

Inside the card: Cut the decorative border and cover the top with plaid paper. Glue down just the two ends/sides and the bottom to form a pocket. Cut the tag out of some coordinating decorative paper and stamp sentiment on it at an angle. Add a ribbon at the top and insert into the pocket made. See more photos here on my blog.

Instructions: Click here to view a larger photo of this project. Die cut your Gift of Love box base die 4 times using white cardstock, you will have 4 box sides, cut the sides so you are left with only the bottom sections. Fold along the bone fold lines on your side panels. Use a bone folder to get a precise fold. Top flap bends back and the side flap bends towards you, repeat 4 times. Glue or tape together (use art glitter glue or wonder tape) starting on the left and overlapping on each side so as to conceal all the joins to the center of your box. Using white cardstock cut 3 cross bars 3 1/2" x 3/4". Fold in each end 1/2" so you are left with 2 1/2" in the center. Adhere your three crossbars spaced evenly inside your box. Using your Sweetheart Borders Die cut 4 strips, cut down to 2 1/2". Adhere under the flaps.

From your Sweet as Honey Paper Pad, die cut all of the elements. Check out my blog here to see step by step photos. Decorate with stickles as crystal glaze as desired, let everything dry before you assemble the box. Cut 4 acetate strips 2 1/2" x 1". Adhere these under the bungalows. Cut 1 acetate strips 1" x 4" for the largest maiden. Cut 2 strips acetate 1/2" x 4" for the remaining maidens. I like to use acetate, so I can place my elements in just the right place.

Using the panels pictured on my blog cut 3 mats 2 1/2" x 2 1/2". I have used the fairy and then I have used the top of panels, the tree line and sky. Adhere to the underside of the box. Later you will be adding a piece of honeycomb to the left and right sides. Using the 3 tags pictured on my blog cut 3 mats 2 1/2" x 2 1/2". First tag I have trimmed the top and tag 2 and 3 I trimmed the bottom. Adhere to the front and side panels. Using the remaining panel cut 1 mats 2 1/2" x 2 7/8". From the off cut of the sky cut 1 mat 1" x 3" and using your Sweet as Honey set, stamp "you are Bee-utiful", trim it to a tag with a top and tail.

Select a blue cardstock from the Sweet as Honey Paper Pad and cut 1 mat 2 1/2" x 6 7/8". This will be for the back of the box to conceal all the joins, strengthen the box and give you somewhere to write your message. Using the Sun Kissed Fleur set stamp on white cardstock using Archival Jet-Black Ink. Using your Stack and Store daubers color your flowers with Cantaloupe Ink and your leaves with Peeled Paint ink. Shape with your Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit. Apply varying size pearls to flower centers. Select a yellow cardstock from your Backyard Blossoms Paper Pad and die cut 1 honeycomb piece using your Sweet as Honey die. Tear into 3 pieces, 1 for the front panel and 1 for the left and right undersides. Adhere the undersides.

Front Panel - Adhere your honeycomb top right corner, apply glue to the tip of your tag and half way, hold in place at the tip, push up and hold the center and curl up the tail, adhere your Sun Kissed Fleur flowers and leaves. Left Side - Using 3d adhesive adhere your honey pot, adhere your Sun Kissed flower and leaf. Right Side - Using 3d adhesive adhere your honey pot and dipper, adhere your Sun Kissed flower and leaf. Layer 1 - Adhere your bungalow to the front wall of the box not the first crossbar. Adhere a bee with only glue down the center so you can fold up his wings. Layer 2 - Adhere 1 bungalow to the right and 1 maiden to the left to the front of the first crossbar. Adhere 1 small Sun Kissed flower to the Maiden's hand. Layer 3 - Adhere 1 bungalow to the left and 1 honey pot with a bee coming out on acetate to the right to the front of the second crossbar. Adhere 1 small Sun Kissed flower to the top of the Bungalow. Layer 4 - Adhere 1 bungalow to the right and 1 maiden to the left to the front of the third crossbar. Back Panel - Adhere the patterned mat to the bottom, adhere the sentiment above. Adhere your largest fairy up the back. Adhere your bee to the left only with adhesive in the center and bend up his wings. Adhere your Sun Kissed flowers and leaves to the right side. Back of box - Adhere the blue mat to conceal the back in. Using 3d adhesive adhere your sentiment. Adhere your bee to the left only with adhesive in the center and bend up his wings.

This is what I love about a pop-up box, it lays flat, so when sending your box, you can create an envelope or bag, it will lay flat when flattened to the left or right; the layers will overlap to sit flat.
