A cute box with free template and video tutorial too!

March 30, 2022

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.

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!

Save

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!

Circle Celebration Easy 8 Card Wonder Kit to Go!

May 10, 2021
As you know I love creating One Sheet Wonders. I have created lots of them in the years I've been a demonstrator. I create the cards and my husband makes the templates. You can see them all here in my Shop.

For these cards I used my Easy 8 Card Wonder template and the Circle Celebration stamp set. You can see the stamp set here.

Save

The colors are Poppy Parade, Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay and Daffodil Delight. I wanted them to be bright and happy celebratory cards. I think I succeeded!

For the greetings I used the stamp sets Many Mates & Itty Bitty Birthdays but you can easily substitute what you own.

Here's a look at how I made the main 'wonder' piece. I used slightly different colors on this sheet, but it gives you the idea.

Save

I stamped all over a sheet of 8 1/2" X 11" White card stock; the printed template is on the reverse side. After stamping I flip it over and cut on the printed lines. Each piece is numbered so I know which one goes with which card in the tutorial. The PDF tutorial includes measurements for other pieces needed.

You can purchase the PDF tutorial here.

There is also a kit to go option for $28. It includes the following:
- Circle Celebration photopolymer stamp set
- 8 pre-cut cards including layers, punched and die-cut pieces
- The printed 8 1/2" X 11" White card stock
- The complete PDF sent via email
*You will need the inks in the colors stated above (or similar colors), a paper trimmer and adhesive. The kit does not include stamped images, gems or ribbon.

If you want the pre-cut kit to go contact me at lagreff60@gmail.com. I cannot give a link to purchase here due to SU regulations.

I have two kits to go this month; see the other one here. Opt in for both and save on shipping!

Misty Trees Beauty of Friendship card

May 7, 2021
With each new catalog I always join several card swaps so I have lots of samples to share with my customers.

Here's one I created featuring the Beauty of Friendship Bundle.

Save

The colors are the new In Colors of course; Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen. The background stamping is made by stamping the trees several times without reinking. This gives you several hues/generations of ink which creates a misty, grouping of trees. I love this effect with a 'naked' tree! It reminds me of my Father-in-Law who loved naked trees.

Other details:
- The greeting is stamped in Evening Evergreen ink on a 1" strip of our Vellum card stock. I immediately heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. Classic (or waterbase) ink does not dry quickly on vellum so you get colored, embossing easily.
- The vellum was cut long enough to wrap around the outside edge and adhere to the back side.
- The dark tree was stamped in Evening Evergreen ink on White CS and die-cut with the Beautiful Trees dies.

You can see this Beauty of Friendship bundle here. It's just lovely and I think it's going to be super popular!
