A cute box with free template and video tutorial too!


Marilyn shared this sweet treat box at our last Flowerbug's Team Meeting.  She cased it from Pootles.  It looks almost like a mini milk carton.  

Her box is 2 X 2" and 3 1/4" tall.  She used the Pansy Petals designer paper, Soft Succulent card stock and ink.  This pretty DSP is retiring now; get it here while supplies last. 

I made one for a recent FB Live video too.  I chose to use the Flowering Fields DSP; it's so springy!


They're made in Pear Pizzazz and Fresh Freesia card stock and the greeting is from the Celebrating You stamp set seen here.  The greeting tag is from the Stitched So Sweetly dies which are retiring now and available while supplies last!  See the dies here.

She made up a template and another sheet of card stock showing you how it looks after trimming and cutting the template as shown. Watch the video here or below to see how it's made.  

It's 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" and is similar to a 2 4 6 8 box.  Score on the short side at 1 1/2", 3 1/2" & 4 1/2".  Score on the long side at 2", 4", 6", & 8".  Then cut away the areas crossed off and cut up to the score lines as shown. 

You'll need 4 pieces of Designer Paper measuring 1 3/4" square.  And 4 pieces measuring 1 3/4" X 3/4" for the top.  She punched two holes in the top flaps to thread ribbon through to tie in a bow.  

Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful project Marilyn!  

Here's the video; click on the photo below to watch it.

    Today I'm sharing the last of our July Team swap cards. Our theme was thank you cards without flowers. 

    Jackie made this special fun fold card that has a gift card option: 

    It's held together with a belly band with a greeting attached. She used the Bright & Beautiful designer paper – it carried over from last year's annual catalog and can be seen online here. 

    Products used:

    • Her greeting is from the Layering Leaves set
    • Greeting dies are from Something Fancy seen here
    • The texture is from the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder seen here

    The front right flap folds back and is secured at the top and bottom leaving space to add a gift card or money if you'd like. 

    Measurements:

    • Blueberry Bushel card base 11" X 5 1/2" scored at 1 1/4", 5 1/2", 9 1/4"
    • Designer paper left front & inside panels 1" X 5 1/4", right front panel is 1 1/2" X 5 1/4"

    Ginny made this cute card with the A Little Latte designer paper

    Her colors include Calypso Coral and Pecan Pie. She cased this card from Karen Ksenzahovie from Creative Stamping Designs. I like the little details of the three DSP strips under the coffee cups. Her greeting is heat embossed in White.

    Mary also featured the A Little Latte designer paper and the Latte Love bundle.  These products can be seen online here. 

    Her colors include Pecan Pie with Lost Lagoon and White.  She trimmed off an inch from the left front to reveal the cute trio of die-cut coffee cups inside.  Cute detail! 

    Thanks for hanging in with us to see all of the July Team swaps!

  • Fun Summery card swaps by my Team


    This week I've been sharing our July card swaps made by my Flowerbug's Team.  Our theme was thank you cards without flowers. 

    Roxann made this adorable card with the Round we Go bundle:

    See the Round we Go bundle here. Her background paper is from the Country Woods DSP seen here. Her colors are Smoky Slate, Petal Pink and Pool Party with White. What a fun and eye-catching card!

    Lori made this one with the Spotlight on Nature dies and the Butterfly Paper Accents seen here.  

    Unfortunately the Spotlight on Nature dies are unavailable again – this must be the third time since they were released! Her colors include Crumb Cake, Pretty in Pink and Summer Splash with White. The amazing Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder is featured on her background.  Love how it fits so perfectly with the circles! It's in low inventory but you can see that here.

    Candy made this beautiful card with the Sketched Butterfly bundle seen here. 

    I love her soft colors of Lost Lagoon with Smoky Slate, Black and Very Vanilla.  She used Lost Lagoon & Smoky Slate Blends markers to color that pretty butterfly. She also used the dark Lost Lagoon blends marker to color her Black & Very Vanilla large check ribbon. 

    Tomorrow I'll post the last of the July Team swaps.

  • More fabulous Team swaps with Online Exclusives!


    Today's Team swaps both feature Online Exclusive products.  This means the items are only seen online and are not in any printed publication. There are so many available it's crazy! See them all here.

    This first card is a fun fold and made by Paula. She created an incredibly beautiful card with the Sophisticated Sled bundle! 

    The sled and ice skates are incredibly realistic! This new Sled bundle is amazing. You can see it here. 

    It's a really neat fun fold card where the right front flap overlaps the left layer of designer paper. She featured the new Season of Green & Gold specialty designer series paper here too.

    Her colors include Mossy Meadow, Cherry Cobbler, White, Crumb Cake & Silver. 

    Measurements:

    • Mossy Meadow card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" fold/score at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
    • Cherry Cobbler 6 1/2" X 4 1/4" fold/score at 3 1/4"
    • DSP – left panel is 3" X 5 1/4", right is 3" X 4"
    • White inside 3" X 4"

    Look at the detail on these die-cuts!! 

     

    Joan made this next card using the Fluffiest Friends bundle. Isn't it adorable?!

    Unfortunately the Fluffiest Friends stamp set sold out and only the dies are available. This can happen with Online Exclusives. They are available while supplies last. Sometimes they'll reorder and other times they do not. 

    Her colors include Crumb Cake, Peach Pie & Summer Splash with a bit of Lemon Lime Twist too. She did a lot of sponging on the textured Crumb Cake and the greeting label. Adorable! 

    Stay tuned for more fabulous Team swaps all this week!
