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. 

  • 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.   

You can see the Gone Fishing bundle here.  *They're currently out of stock but should be back in late August. 

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.

  • How many ways can you use the Elegant Tag punch? LOTS!


    Look at these pretty projects using the Simply Elegant suite

    The Simply Elegant Specialty designer paper is gorgeous as well! It's filled with detailed patterns in Basic Black, Basic Gray, copper, gold, silver, Very Vanilla, Whisper White. 

    Check out the Elegantly Said stamp set here in the bundle with the Elegant Tag punch. 


    Here's a bunch of additional ways to use this Elegant Tag punch. You can lengthen it or insert narrower strips into it. Or use one end or the other to get lots of unique shaped tags with this Elegant Tag punch. 

    Unfortunately this punch is on back order until July!  But you can still order it right now.  I have a feeling they'll turn it off soon and it will be unorderable.

  • Today is the last day for the 36% off promotion! Plus Elegantly Said bundle & punch tips!


    Today is the last day to get in on the Starter Kit promotion seen here.  If your wish list is larger than $99 it only makes sense to choose this option. 

    Don't think of it as a commitment, but as an opportunity to get your SU products at a discount while you can.  When you're done ordering what you want you can stop.  That's it!  Simple and smart.  

    • Your first $300 in orders isn't 'due' until the end of September.  And we have the Holiday catalog AND Sale-a-Bration to order from in August.  It starts for customers in September but one of our favorite Demonstrator perks is pre-ordering from NEW catalogs a month earlier than everyone else.  
    • Another thing you might not know is that our $300 minimum order amount is retail; not discounted price.  So we're really spending just $240 to stay active and enjoy the discount.  All orders, yours or your friends all count.  
    • There's no need to sell or hold classes unless you'd like to.
