Curvy Keepsake Box Characters
MINIONS
Curvy Keepsake Box Framelet Dies.(135853)
Stampin' Up! designed these amazing Thinlets Dies and as you can see they are VERY versatile.
Cut 2 for each box out of cardstock. In this case I used Daffodil Delight.
Using tape, I glued them together like this below.
The curved handles should be opposite each other and the handle slots opposite each other too.
I used Fringe Scissors and Basic Black cards for the hair pieces.
Circle punches from 1/8" to 1" to make the shapes below.
The dungarees were made by cutting and shaping a piece of card
around one of the box sides, curling slightly to curl along with box.
The G for Gru was made by punching a 1/2" circle out of card and
cutting a square around the circle.
A snip to form the gap in the G.
I punched a 3/4" black circle to lay behind it.
I used Marina Mist for the dungarees, pocket and G.
Smoky Slate for the goggles.
A small circle cut out of card and a larger one was cut around that hole.
The mouth was a 1" circle out of card and overlapping that hole with the same punch, I punched around that hole and a mouth was cut from Basic Black card.
The eyes are from a 1/2" punch with a 1/8" black circle for the pupil.

OLAF
Olaf was made using circles, ovals and the Tree Builder punches.
The hair was using Fringe Scissors and his arms are with the
Tree Builder punch which you can see below.
The mouth is a 1" circle in Basic Black with a white tongue made with a
1" circle and slightly trimmed at the sides.
His nose was made with an oval punch in Whisper White and the Carrot
was with an old Stampin' Up! triangle punch.
It can be made easily, using a scallop punch or framelet to give the curly edge.
The eyes were 1/2" Soft Sky and Whisper White circles, with 1/4" black pupils.
The Tree Builder punch (138295) and Trimming Scissors (133325) below.

PEPPA PIG
Peppa was made the same way as before but this time using Melon Mambo for the box.
Blushing Bride for the cheeks and nose and Daffodil Delight for the crown.
I use Melon Mambo tiny circles for the nostrils and the mouth too.
The crown was made using the Flower Medallion punch (137417).
One flower is cut into 2 across the petals, then glued at the edges so that
it will sit over the handles of the Curvy Keepsake Box.
The simplicity of the decoration and the crown only glued at the edges on show.

SUPERMAN
Superman is another easy shape to make.
Pacific Point was used for the box.
I used a piece of Real Red card measuring 6 cm by 7 cm which I trimmed
at the top edges to make it look more like a cape.
The shape on the front was made around the size of the star that I used.
The Daffodil Delight star was laid onto Real Red and cut around.
Then placed on a piece of Daffodil Delight and the shape was formed.
I continued in this way until I got the size that I wanted.
Adding the cape to the back of the box finishes this one.
I hope you have found some of this tutorial useful.
Please don't forget to send us pictures of your projects that you make too.
