I alway so get excited about Halloween because it is the start of all of the Holidays. Once the Halloween season starts we are busy until February.
This cute pumpkin kitty treat box was created with Boxer's Orange gingham paper, black button and twine. Topped off with some ribbon and a tag with a star punch.

I have been getting into the holiday spirit already by working on some new kits that will be available very soon on the website. I thought I would give you a sneak peak at them.
This kit is a smaller banner project perfect for hanging for the holidays. It comes with enough red ribbon to hang. It is also a perfect size to add across your scrapbook pages for a holiday title.
And have I shown you the new Stocking Kit? This kit includes silver ribbon to hang the stockings and will also be available soon.
So until next week, Happy Scrapping!

Happy Thursday Boxer fans! It's already the middle of September! Seriously!!!! Time is just flying by and soon the holidays will be upon us! It will soon be my favorite time of year when I can break out all the Christmas supplies and make a bunch of fun holiday cards!

Well, another Monday sneaked by me so thought I would give you a sneak peak of another kit I have been working on.
You would not think it with all the Christmas decorations in the stores, but Halloween is coming soon. This banner is perfect to hang for celebrating the spooky day. There are two options for the banner. You can spell out Halloween, or make two smaller banners and spell out Boo and Spooky.
This kit includes ribbon to string the pennants together, but to fit all the letters in the photo, I had to overlap each a little. But I hope you still are able to see how bright and fun this banner is.
Watch for this kit coming your way soon on www.boxerscrapbooks.com!
So until next time, Happy Scrapping.

What have I been up to? I have been working on a brand new kit that Boxer Scrapbooks will have available at the San Marcos Creating Keepsakes Convention next week.
It is a Christmas Advent Calendar. These treasure boxes come with 24 small boxes that fit into the cubbies and then the center is a perfect shadow box for the dimensional embellishments. These boxes are so fun and easy to make. I just had to share...
There is also a Summer Treasure Box kit available too.
Hope you enjoy them. I definitely love how they turned out.
Watch www.boxerscrapbooks.com for availability of the Advent kit and the Summer kit is available now.
Until next time, Happy Scrapping!

I am really such a pink girl. And when Boxer came out with the pink crown papers I just knew they made them just for me! :) :) Here I combined them with the pink polka dot paper and lots of black.

This card would be so cute on a teacher gift bag. The card was created with Boxer's yellow polka dot paper.
Happy Scrapping!!

So with the craziness of last minute school shopping, I forgot to post my project for Monday. So, here it is...
I love daisies - whether they are real, paper, silk, or even stamped. For this card, I stamped the daisy image onto white cardstock and then cut out each flower. This way I can curl each petal to give them some dimension and add a button for the center. For the leaves, I stamped the daisy onto green cardstock and cut out just the petals. I added some foam tape under the white mat for even more pop.
Boxer Supplies used: Small red dot paper, yellow grosgrain, Daisy stamp, black pen (Sakura), yellow buttons
Additional supplies: White, blue, and dark green cardstock, blue ink pad, black ink pad.
Until next time, Happy Scrapping!
Laura
I love non-traditional schemes for holidays and special events. This teal, black, white, and gold seemed very elegant to me and could just as easily be a birthday or sympathy card.
Tina
Supplies: Black and White Fluer De Lis and Black and White Damask papers, Brass Label Holder, Brass Mini Brads, and Celebrations Limited Edition stamp set.
I saw this cute saying for a teacher gift and I knew I had to create it. The circle tag I created myself and punched with a 1 1/2" scallop pucnh.
Boxer supplies: Red ginham & back to school paper. Other supplies:craft twine, scallop punch & pencils.
Happy Scrapping!!

While creating this calendar, I was trying to avoid the traditional "Baby" colors and go more with bright fun combos. I love this color combo of rich chocolatey browns with shades of turquoise.
Materials: 12 x 12 blank calendar, Calendar Stickers, Brown Dot, Brown Argyle, and GHP striped papers, brown grosgrain ribbon, metallic turquoise 1/4 " eyelets. Cardstock, bear punch.
We have had a new puppy in our house for about a month now. I think I have at least 10 pictures for each day that we have had Max. So it is time to start his own scrapbook. I think 8x8 will be the perfect size. So here is page one. Sorry, I don't have pictures actually printed yet. I tend to just be in the collection of photos on the computer, save till there are at least 1,000 to print at once, just do the pages for now, stage.
Boxer Supplies Used: Dog talk paper, Bunch-o-bones paper, black and white paw paper, small brown dot paper, Pet Stripe paper (GHP), 5/8 inch black rick rack, 1/4 tan rick rack, 1/4 inch red rick rack, Dog Lover's Button jar mix, Antique bone clips, Dog Lover's twine, Dog Lover's Ribbon pack, glue dots.
Additional supplies: black ink pad, black cardstock
So until next time, I will continue to take pictures of my Beagle puppy, Max, and save the photos but will try to get some printed for the next pages.
Happy Scrapping,
Laura

I can't believe how fast summer flew by. I am already thinking about back to school shopping. I created this cute little back to school gift for my son. I got a mini composition book, covered it with Boxers Green Multi dot paper and attached the crayons with a ribbon, cute!!

Quick and Fun card using recent releases.
Products: Black and White Circuit Board, Black and White Gears, Black and White Blocks, Red and White Modern Dot.

I think one of my favorite products from Boxer Scrapbooks are the glaze pens. The fact that they can write on any surface, just makes them the perfect tool.
For this card, I used the Jone's Butterflies - Gold stickers by Printworks (available at www.Boxerscrapbooks.com) and placed them on the edge of the white card. Then I colored them with the glaze pens. For the larger butterfly in the greeting, I backed the sticker with white cardstock and then colored it. After the penwork had dried, I cut out the butterfly and folded up the wings.
Boxer Supplies used: Turquoise gingham paper, black grosgrain ribbon, Printworks stickers, Glaze pens (Sakura), Dazzles Greeting stickers (HOTP), black gelly roll pen (Sakura)
Additional supplies: black ink pad, white and black cardstock
Until next time, Happy Scrapping!

My sister in law and her hubby just had their first child...a bouncing baby boy named Theodore (Teddy for short). I have been working on a baby's first year calendar because I remember how much I loved having a place to jot those memories until I could take time to write them in the baby book.
Here is Baby's First Month. More to follow...
Tina

Other: Ink, computer font, cardstock.
Paper embossed flowers are so easy to use. I like to snip in between the petals a little and then curl them for some added dimension. Then I cut the green ones apart for the leaves. The center red dot flower is using the Fold-Back Swirls template.
Boxer Supplies: Black and white striped paper, small red dot paper, Halloween paper embossed flowers, yellow buttons. 1/4" yellow rick rack, Dazzles greetings - silver (HOTP), black twine (Disney pack), white and black gelly roll pens (Sakura)

I love my new scallop ruffle punch. This card was super simple to create. Boxer's polka dot papers make the perfect ruffles.
Supplies used: Boxer red, yellow and turquoise polka dot papers. Red twine and Boxer mini red brads.

This could be the solution. I tend to keep all my scraps, even though I say I try to keep them under control.. But I found that when making a project and the supplies are out on the table, I make a card and this solves the needing a last minute card. I will have several different themes and blank occasion cards on hand.
This card is just using a strip of dot paper and cardstock, wrapped with twine, and tie the ends with a button. Add a greeting sticker and adhere to the striped paper. Ink the edges and add some pen detail and your card is finished - fast and easy!
Boxer Supplies used: Small brown dot papers, Pet stripe (GHP), Dog Lover's twine, brown buttons, Stardust pen (Sakura), Dazzles Greetings, Gold (HOTP), white gelly roll pen (Sakura)
Additional supplies: Brown and red cardstock, brown ink pad
So until next time, Happy Scrapping!

Today I am sharing a tag I made. This is one item that I really don't make many of. And I'm not sure why not. They are so versatle. You can hang them from a gift bag or box, you can put them on a scrapbook layout or a card, or you can even use them to label baskets and as a bookmark for your current book.
:) Of course I'm using red, blue and white since it's the end of July!
Boxer supplies: dark blue small stars paper, black and white dog bones paper, Dog Talk paper, black and white small stars paper, Dog lover's transparency, white grosgrain ribbon, triangle clips gold, kraft tag.

A super cute gift box I created from a template. The gift bos reminds me of the Smurfs, do you all remember the Smurfts Boxer Supplies: White button variety, yello button, Boxer Red Dots Paper. Other: Mushroom Template, ribbon & red twine. ~Becky
When making a card, I always pull out the ribbons and flowers. But today, I am in need of a masculine card. I used strips of the brown dot paper and added mats of red cardstock. I folded the cardstock over the strips and trimmed to points to make the flaps. Mini brads then hold those flaps in place. When using a lot of mini brads, I complete the card front first, in this case - on the red cardstock, and then attach to my card front. This will hide the prongs of the brads.
Boxer supplies used: Brown argyle paper, Brown dot paper, Pet Stripe (Galloping Horse Productions), Dazzle Greetings - Gold (HOTP), brass mini brads, white gelly roll pen (Sakura), Stardust pen (Sakura)
Additional supplies used: red and brown cardstock, brown ink pad
So until next time, Happy Scrapping!

Hoppy Thursday!
Today I am sharing with you a darling clothespin stand that I created. Having 1 or 2 or 10 of these clothespins in your home to hold a picture of your little one. Here on this one I used the chipboard to embellish the front of the clothespin as well as stamping lil' Hoppy onto cardstock.
Boxer supplies: Frogs chipboard accents, Nat Geo paper, frog stamp.

These little Froggies are so cute! They just beg to be used on a fun stand up birthday card. Use a circle punch folded in half and glued to the inside of the card to hold the card in place when standing.
Tina
Materials: Orange Dot, Nat Geo, Orange, Yellow & Green Stripe, and Totally Turtles papers. Turtle Grosgrain Ribbon, and Make a Wish Sentiment Singles stamp.
Other: Cardstock, Ink, Marker, Circle Punches.
For this card, I cut the front flap shorter and at an angle to show the greeting which is on the inside of the card. For a little different look of layering, I adhered the black and white strip across the card and just the black cardstock as a pocket, added the gift card in the pocket, and adhered the rick rack and flower around the gift card. I also wanted to make sure the adhesive for the rick rack and flower were not over the gift card so it was still easy to remove from the pocket.
This design can easily be changed to be a card for any occasion simply by changing the papers and greeting. Again, another easy design that I will use again.
Boxer supplies used: Black and white star paper, Black and white stripe paper, Small red dot paper, black flowers from the Dog Lover's Paper Embossed flower mix, White gelly roll pen (Sakura), Yellow button mix, Black twine from Dog Twine pack, Dazzle greetings - silver (HOTP), and red 1/4" rick rack.
Additional supplies: black and hunter green cardstock
So until next time, Happy Scrapping!

Boxer supplies: dark blue small stars paper, red and white swirls paper, red modern dots paper, bakers twine in red, transparency.
Thanks for stopping by!

I threw this card together in a matter of minutes. I used an embosser to give the card a little texture. I used Boxer's orange paisley print for a little flair and created a mini thanks tag with a sharpie. I added a three little brads and I'm done. Who says cards have to take so long to create? Happy Scarpping~ Becky
Pink is my favorite color...add a little black and white and YOWZA!
Tina
Supplies: Pink Argyle, Pink Stripe, and Black and White Daisy papers. Celebrate Chipboard Accents.
Other: Cardstock, markers
I love it when I find a sketch or a layout that just comes together smoothly and is fast and easy. I saw a sketch that inspired these cards.
I used the same design for each of these cards. Strips of paper with inked edges and folded flowers using the Fold-It Back Swirls template from HOTP. Just changed the colors. I think this is going to be a common layout for me. I can easily see it working on a scrapbook page as well.
Boxer Supplies used: (CD 1) Turquoise gingham paper, Turquoise dot paper, Turquoise Tropic flower paper, Dazzle Silver greeting (HOTP), black buttons, white gelly roll pen (Sakura)
(CD 2) Cat paisley, Orange dot, Orange gingham, Dazzle Gold greetings (HOTP), brown buttons, white gelly roll pen (Sakura)

Happy 4th of July week!
Freedom is so precious and I am ever thankful for being an American! Here is a card this week I'm sharing with you to celebrate America's freedom!
Again I used a star punch on the blue star paper. I also mixed the alphabet stickers as I ran out of *e*, but combining different font stickers make the project stand out even more!
Boxer supplies: Black and White small stars paper, red and white swirls paper, dark blue small stars paper, alphabet stickers, primary blue button mix, bakers twine in blue.

The wonderful thing about having a collection of punches is that you can punch out so many different shapes out of pattern paper and use it as an enhancement on your paper crafts! Here on this Sassy card I punched out 3 flowers from the pink dotted paper. I just added the black buttons in the middle and attached them with foam dots to give them a 3D look.
Boxer supplies used: Small dotted pink paper, B&W daisies paper, black button mix, little girl transparency.

This summer we are planning our first ever BBQ block party with our neighbors. I wanted to creat a fun memorable invitation so I decided to create pinwheels, so fun! I created the template for the pinwheel myself using Microsoft Word.
Boxer Supplies:Blue and red star boxer basics
other supplies:cardstock, star punch
I think altered projects are one of my favorite things to create, well, besides cards. But they are just so easy to add some papers and embellishments to and then the project just completes the gift. I am filling this tin with cookies.
I glued small pieces of white cardstock to the rick rack to create the road.
Boxer Supplies used: Red and black striped paper, Small black stars paper, large black rick rack, white gelly roll pen
Additional supplies: Black and white cardstock, tin, black ink pad
So if you are taking any road trips this summer, drive safe!
Happy Scrapping,

Boxer Supplies: Black modern dots printed paper, small black and white polka dot paper and Prayer transperency.
Happy Scrapping,

For this card, I added small punched flowers with mini brads to the centers of the folded bows. To hide the prongs of the brads and ends of the ribbons, I completed the card front on the green cardstock before gluing it to the card base. And of course, to finish it off, I added penwork with the white gel pen and the Stardust pen.
Boxer Supplies Used: Papers - Butterfly Garden, Princess Stripe, Small Green Dot, Bright Pink Grosgrain, White mini brads, Stardust pen, Dazzles Greetings (Gold by HOTP), White Gelly Roll pen
Additional supplies: Light blue, yellow and green cardstock, Fold It Bows Template (HOTP), small flower punch by EK Success

My father never wore a tie, but I love those Father's Day tie cards so cute. I created this tie card using Boxer's brown argyle paper. The tie is made from a grossgrain ribbon, it kinda lloks like those skinny ties that were popular in the 80's, I think my husband still has one ;-).
Supplies used: Boxer's Brown Argyle paper, Brown Buttons and grossgrain ribbon.
I created the "Happy Daddy's day" tag myself and attached to the button with a craft string.
