Birthday ‘Tackle’ Treat box with video tutorial & measurements!

July 17, 2023

I was so inspired by the 'Tackle' box Candace created for her 'Artist of the Month' projects I had to try making one. She made hers with the Gone Fishing suite. And she made this project up herself – she's incredible with box designs! I decided to recreate it on a video and share it with you.

Isn't it amazing? I thought it would be really challenging to make, but with her box as my starting point it wasn't bad at all. And the Gone Fishing dies make the 'window' front a breeze.

Save

I chose to use Berry Burst as my box color because I wanted it to be bright and happy for a Birthday gift. I went to the dollar store and found some fun candy treats to add. I put the loose candies in small baggies I had on hand.

Save

The box is quite easy to put together. After scoring the box lid, be sure to die-cut the 'window' using the Gone Fishing die. Then you adhere it to a window sheet and add to the inside front of the box lid.

I notched the tabs before adhering.

top of box 6 1/4 X 7 1/2" score 1" on all sides
bottom of box 6 1/8" X 7 3/8" score at 1" on all sides
window sheet 4 1/8" X 5 1/4"
left inside divider (two compartments) is 1 7/8" X 6 3/4" score at 2 3/4", 3 1/2" & 4 1/4"
right inside divider (three compartments) is 2 1/8" X 8 1/4" scored at 2", 2 3/4", 3 1/2", 5 1/8", 5 7/8" & 6 5/8"
inside bottom – add under the two divided sections; 5 1/4" X 5 5/8" score at 1 7/8", 2 5/8" & 3 3/8". (It's shown vertically in the photo below)

Watch the video to see how these sections go together.

I chose the Circle Sayings bundle for my greeting tag. *see it here It's quite a versatile set and pairing it with the coordinating 2 2/8" circle punch was so smart of Stampin' Up! *I added a die-cut stitched Lemon Lime Twist circle from the Stylish Shapes dies.

Springtime Scenes card with video & free project sheet

March 23, 2026

I shared this card last week with a video and a free project sheet. Think of using any designer paper you own. It’s a great layout!

Save

I chose the Easter Joy Specialty paper inspired me with the color theme. Shy Shamrock with Balmy Blue & White. Unusual but it sure works!

It’s a simple ‘fold back’ fun fold where you add one extra score line at 2 3/4″ to this 11″ X 4 1/4″ card base. Of course it’s scored in half at 5 1/2″ as well. I cut the Balmy Blue layer to perfectly layer onto the inside White. It gives the illusion of multiple layers.

That pretty die-cut leaf is from the Pleasant Patterns specialty paper seen here. For my stamps & the leaf die I used the Springtime Scenes bundle seen here. I love this set with the neat dies and stamps.

Get inspired by a sketch with this sweet Splash of Sparkles card

March 18, 2026
Each month I give my Flowerbug’s a creative challenge and they can participate if they’d like. This month it was a sketch:

Save

You can find card sketches like this all over Pinterest or other online sites. I think they’re a wonderful and easy way to create a card. Remember that sketches are a starting point; they don’t have to be exact or even that similar. They’re a great way to be inspired.

I chose the Splash of Sparkles specialty designer paper for mine. See it here.

Save

My colors include Bubble Bath, Timid Tiger, Gold & White; all inspired by the beautiful designer paper. Who would have thought to combine these colors together? But the DSP is the magic that makes it work.

I used a few different products here:
- The greeting and die-cut are from the Lovely Arrangements bundle.
- notice the new daisy embossing folder? That is the new Lazy Daisy 3D embossing folder found here. It is currently out of stock, but add your email on the product page to be informed when it’s back.
- And that pretty Bubble Bath 1/8″ ribbon is wonderful and easy to work with. See it here.
- The gold foil layer is the Textured Metallic paper seen here.

Here’s a link to my sketches board on Pinterest. I hope you find some to be inspired by!
