I hope you all enjoy today’s video.
NOTE: If you click ON the thumbnails AFTER the video it takes you to the Veoh site. Some of the content there I am told is “R” rated and you may not want to do that around young children. So if you just watch the video here on my blog, and avoid the thumnails you should be OK. Not sure WHY they don’t have ONLY stamp related videos pop up, but I guess some aren’t.
You won’t want to miss this one, let me tell you 😀
I had SO much fun making this box. I’m definitely getting the hang of this I think 😀 I’m so excited that the editing process is getting so much easier!
You’ll have to let me know what you think. I work really hard to get these done, so I hope they are helpful. All in all they are still time consuming, but I have enjoyed it.
I’m also wide open to things you want to see in the future 😀
NOTE: This is the type of project you need to SEE, so you get HOW it goes together. Too hard to “explain”, so I am not providing instructions here. They are all on the video. Write down the steps/measurements. The hard work has already been done for you-the design part!
I have been REALLY busy with my family, so thank you for understanding, and I hope the video provides you with all you need to make this. It’s nice to be busy for a “good” reason. Not due to illness. My brother and I have grown closer as we grow older and the birth of his daughter has made us closer than ever. I feel so blessed to have him in my life and his little addition. Valerie has been an amazing mom too. She’s a natural. Gabriella is a REALLY good baby so far too. I would love to just take her home with me and keep her for myself 😀 Guess this is the next best thing! LOL!
Versatility Box
I was very excited by this one 😀 The finished size is 3 1/2 squared by 2 1/2 inches tall.
I call it the versatility box due to the opening you can create to fit a variety if items!
This one will hold a little $1 flower pot!
Did you think a little gift could be so cute?
Here is a closer view of the little pot!
Many would like to think of it as a “cupcake” style box. I develop my own idea of this style and shared it via video just for you.
I HOPE you give it try!

INFO!
The following info is being provided for you due to the MANY comments and emails I have received. I am not affiliated with this company AT ALL (in other words I get nothing for promoting them! LOL! Although I wish I did get some adhesive) but I love their prices and SPEEDY service!! Seriously top notch. The shipping is a bit high, but I try to order as much as I can afford up front to make it worth it.
SOOOOOO FYI-the large tape runner you see in my videos is called an ATG Gun. I have the Red 714.
I purchase mine HERE for ONLY $41.69 (Don’t choke! Its SOOOO worth the $ you save on adhesive, and that is the cheapest place ever found.)
I used the GOLD 1/4 inch adhesive with my gun found HERE! Its photo safe. You get 36yds of tape for ONLY $3.49! You can’t beat that.
So that is all for today.
I hope to get back into the swing of things after this release.
Thank you ALL so much for the kind words, comments and support here and for my Timeless Template line. You all make every minute I spend doing ALL of this so worth my while! Just knowing you can inspire ONE person is amazing!
SO SMOOCHES to you all!

Bought my two timeless templates this morning and ordered the Background Basics-retro setso I will soon be able to make some of your little owls for Easter gifts. Thanks so much for a great Video you get more professional with each one. I am going to make one of your versatile boxes in the morning so very generous of you to share the pattern. I am so enjoying making boxes. I made myself a teabag box yesterday it turned out so pretty sorry I can’t share ( technically challenged). TFS Ann Lind

What a fun box!!!!!! Your videos are so great and really help me see those steps I would miss in reading instructions. This is such a terrific gift idea. I am having a group for dinner later in the month and I always like to have a small table favor. These would really be a great leap into spring! I am ready for the bright and cheerful days of spring! Might as well plan for it!!!!!
What a GREAT little box – have to wait until after work to see the video though– 🙁 I think your videos are great, personally – then I feel like I get a visit in with you too boot 😉
Glad you are enjoying Gabriella – we haven’t had any brand new babies around in a while now… (alright a year) but still… 🙁
k – have a great day!!!
Super box and video Lauren! Congrats on your new Niece – what a cutie and I love the outfit you gave her to come home in!
Your video is great, every little detail is explain so well. I can’t wait to make this for Easter, with a little plastic egg inside fill with goodies as favors at the table.
Thank you for sharing this darling little box with us.

love your videos! i was wondering if there was a way to save your videos to my computer so that i can burn them to a disc and watch them on tv?
Thank you soooo much for your creativity! I love your videos – you are a great teacher! Love this box. I visit your site daily and love to hear of your latest creations.
Lauren, the video is great. I can’t believe how creative you are and I can’t wait to make this adorable box. I’m definitely one of those people who can’t see past the name.
I thought I’d give you a head’s up that the video player doesn’t show for your readers who use a Feed Reader (like Google or News Gator) to read your blog. You may want to include a note to click over to the site to see the video.
Oooh, I like this project. It’s a really adorable box with so many possibilities. Thank you for the video!
This project is awesome!!! I really like it! Thank you so much Lauren for sharing and making this video!!! You ar eso CREATIVE!!!

Thank you so much for the video! This box is adorable!! I love it!! I have enjoyed all your videos. Thanks for taking the time to make them. They are much appreciated!!
What an great project; just added Target to my list of stops for today. Do you ever rest? It amazes me the inspiration that you get from the every day things that you see around you (i.e. your tea box). Thank-you for sharing.
Lauren, I just love this little box. It really is so versatile. I will have to think a bit about what I want to put in mine.
Thank you, Lauren! Loved the video. I don’t always have time to watch them, but I really enjoyed this one, and hope to try out the box soon!
Very cute box project. I love that you take inexpensive things and make them cute enough to give as a gift. There are so many reasons to give little gifts. Thanks for taking the time to do the videos. They are so fun to watch.
Lauren, you’re getting really good at this! I’m enjoying Mondays more because I have your tutorials to look forward to. I can’t believe how quickly you’ve mastered all the technology. – Nimmy
Lauren, thank you for sharing another awesome, functional box; and the fabulous tutorial. I can immediately think of about ten uses for this Completely Adorable Lauren Meader (CALM) template. It is CALMing to know that you always have the perfect, adorable container to match the gift.
I have not looked at the video yet. Will do that tonight at home. I wanted to mention that I have the 714 ATG Gun and Love every moment with it. Much better that the other options out there. Also love how much adhesive you get for such litte $$. Even here in Canada it’s still cheap. Thanks for all of the ideas.
Your box is well named I love the box and the many uses it could have I can’t wait to try and make one. I am a visual person and the video will really help. The videos are getting better and better. I like the larger pics on your blog there so clear and colorful! Thanks for taking the time out of your super busy life to make these creations and videos. Wendy
I’m really enjoying your video tutorials (and so are my kids!). You answer a lot of questions before I can ask! I do have one though……I noticed you stamping on top of your Score Pal Mat and was wondering if the palette inks clean off it or is it permenantly inked up? Thanks for all you share and the work I’m sure goes into it! :>
thanks so much for your wonderful little box idea, can hardly wait to make one. Your videos are so good, & easy to follow,
thanks for sharing. Joan
this little box is so super cute – and thanks for sharing the name of your adhesive gun – i was wondering where to get something like that – always – super cute stuff
This is such a cute and adorable box. I love your creativity and can’t wait to try it on my Easter projects. I love your tutorial which makes it believable that even I can do it too! Thanks for taking the time to do it and sharing!
A great project. Your instructions are so clear and the visuals are so helpful. You’re doing a fantastic job with your videos. Thank you.
