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

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.

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.

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.

  • Look at these fabulous floral cards!

    Here are a few more of my Flowerbug's Team swap cards for July: 

    First is one made by Paula who featured the Color & Contour Bundle seen here.  She stamped each flower and die-cut it with the Scalloped Contour dies. She also stamped the other flower image for the stem and leaves.  That large scalloped rectangle is also included in this bundle.  There are actually 5 scalloped rectangle in this set! 

    July Paula Color & Contour Save

    Her colors are Daffodil Delight, Fresh Freesia and Polished Pink. The spatter background image is in this set as well.  Her greeting is stamped on a Tailored Tag punch.  

    Next is a pretty card by Marilyn.  She used the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set.  Her background is from the new Stitched Greenery die seen here.  She also used the Hand-Penned Designer paper and Circles dies.  

    July Paula Color & Contour Save

    Love this color combination of Mint Macaron, Daffodil Delight and Highland Heather.  She colored in her floral image with Blends markers.  Love that sparkly Highland Heather ribbon!  

    Lastly is a pretty card made by Roxann featuring Positive Thoughts & the coordinating Nature's Thoughts dies.  That wonderful background texture is from the Tasteful Textile 3D folder.  

    July Paula Color & Contour Save

    Her colors feature Petal Pink, Daffodil Delight, Polished Pink, Olive and Soft Sea Foam. There are lots of pretty die-cuts & details on her card!  The greeting is one of my very favorites.  

    I'll share more of our swap cards tomorrow!

  • Colorful swap cards with Pattern Party hostess paper

    This weekend we held our monthly Flowerbug's Team swap and the theme was to make cards with yellow.  It could be a lot, or just a little.  We thought it was a great 'summertime theme'.  I'm so proud of their cards; they are all quite talented!  

    This first card was made by Barb.  She used the Back on Your Feet stamp set, the Basic Border & Meadow dies.

    I just love how she colored the giraffe the same colors as her designer paper!  What a well coordinated card!  I believe she used our amazing Blends markers for coloring.   And look at her inside!  She used the extra die-cut edges to decorate the inside to match!

    Next is Mary's card featuring the same Pattern Party designer paper.  You can only get this paper with hostess rewards. You can see it on page171 of the annual catalog; or click here.  

    She used the Tailor Made Tags and the Biggest Wish stamp set.  She also colored her clear rhinestones with a Blends marker before adding them to the tag.

    • I used a mask to add the puppy in the basket. 
    • The greeting die-cut is from the Messages die. 
    • I used Stampin' Blends to color in the images.
    • I added a Metallic pearl to the spokes in the bicycle.

    As you can see it's an easy fun fold card.  Simply add one extra score line to your normal A2 card.  Score the 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" Crushed Curry card at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4".  The Basic Gray is 3 7/8" X 5 1/8" and the White is 3 3/4" X 5".
