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.  

Easter Treat Marilyn Save

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.

  • Under the Moon Dutch-door card with video & free project tutorial

    I shared how to make this pretty card on last week's video. It features the Under The Moon stamp set which is what I refer to as a 'scene builder' set – one of my favorites to play with.  It's super fun & easy to create with! 

    Under the Moon Pink Save

    See the two toned clouds & moon?  I used sponge daubers and 'direct to ink' techniques for this. You can see how it's done in the video here or below.

    Below is the view when the card is open.

    When making a Dutch door fold you have a few choices on adding the front half. You can make your 'door' an inch or so wider than 5 1/2" so you can add the score line. Or make it 11" wide and score it at 5 1/2".  Or the other option is to cut a full size card – 4 1/4" X 11", score it at 5 1/2" and cut off the section you do not want.

    My card stock colors include: Pretty in Pink, Night of Navy and White.  To these I also added these inks: Azure Afternoon (water & sky) & Peach Pie (moon) and Smoky Slate (clouds). 

    See the Under the Moon stamp set here.  I also used the Unbounded Love bundle for the greetings & dies seen here.  Remember that starting Wednesday all stamp & die bundles are an extra 10% off and will be 20% off through June.

  • Basic Beige; a beautiful new neutral color in our line. Last day for the In Color deal!

    Everyone is loving the new Basic Beige color Stampin' Up! added to our basics line this year.  

    I created this card for a recent online swap I joined. It features one of my recent favorite sets; Wildflower Designs.

    I paired it with Copper Clay and White here.  We have four new products in Basic Beige – card stock, ink, ink refill and ribbon. It's a beautiful neutral! 

    There are coordinating dies to go with this pretty set too.  See this bundle  here:

    Details on this card:

    • The wood designer paper on the sides is from the Meandering Meadows 6" paper pack. 
    • The rectangle die-cut is from the Radiating Stitches dies which recently retired from our Online Exclusives. 
    • The background was made by stamping the little hashtag type stamp repeatedly in Basic Beige ink.

  • A Little Latte cards – all made from leftovers on my desk!

    I decided to have a staycation this last weekend. I rarely take a day off at home; it seems like the only time I take an entire day off is if I leave town.  I tried my hardest to stay out of my studio on Saturday.  I lasted until 5 pm; then I couldn't resist playing a bit. 

    A little Latte cards . Save

    I had a bunch of fussy cut coffee cups in a baggie and thought they'd make great thank you cards. So I pulled out my A Little Latte designer paper pack and some extra greeting tags and made these cards. 

    The designer paper pieces were either strips or squares so I arranged the fussy cut coffee cups over the largest pieces.  I think they turned out great for cards made without a plan!

    The only thing I purposefully prepped were the card bases and White textured layers (So Swirly embossing folder seen here). The rest are all scraps!
