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.

Save

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.

Save

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.

The last of my 10 amazing card ideas for Paper Strips!

April 12, 2021
Today I'm sharing the last of the 10 cards I made on my Facebook Live video. If you aren't following me on Facebook yet click here. I host a video each Tuesday morning at 11 am CT and twice a month on Monday evenings as well.

I had a bunch of paper strips leftover from cutting out for cards and kits and created some fun & unique cards with them. We're calling them 'Stripper Cards'!

Save

Here's a favorite I made with 3/4" X 3 3/4" strips of Bermuda Bay, Pool Party & Pumpkin Pie.

Save

I started out with a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of White CS. Starting at the bottom I added a strip and alternated colors and directions each time. I focused on keeping the tips at the same area and left the excess 'wide' end hang over the edge.

I had to leave enough space to stamp the greeting (You Are Amazing set seen here) so I stopped about 1 1/2" up. The last piece may need to be trimmed before you add that skinny little edge strip. A few Holiday rhinestones finish it off.

On my video (scroll down) I used Real Red with the Pool Party & Bermuda Bay. Which do you prefer?

Save

~~~

This is another of my favorites! So easy and just plain fun!

Save

I cut random lengths of 1/4" strips and adhered them to a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of Black card stock. The greeting is from the Sweet Ice Cream set stamped on a 1" X 4 3/4" strip of White CS. Add this and trim the ends off before you add it to the main Coastal Cabana card base.

Here are both versions; which do you prefer?

Save
- Left features Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry & Pumpkin Pie.
- Right has Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, Pacific Point and Daffodil Delight.

More fun cards with leftover paper strips

April 9, 2021

I wanted these cards to be bright and happy so I chose my brightest colors of strips!

Save

This first card has 1/4" strips adhered to a White layer 2 1/2" wide.

Save

After I had the White piece covered with strips I trimmed off the excess on the edges and added it to the White card base. Then I added the pretty dandelion White die-cuts (from the Dandy Wishes dies here). That stitched greeting tag is from the Hydrangea Dies seen here. Artistry Blooms adhesive-backed sequins finish it off as well as a twine bow.

~~~

Next is a card with a woven heart. I think it's pretty neat! And it looks difficult but it's just a few extra steps to die-cut the shape. *Watch the video below to catch my tips on paper weaving.

Save

I share a good demo on this technique in the video below. The strips are 1/2" and the heart shape is die-cut with the retiring Stitched Be Mine dies seen here. There are 16 dies with lots of heart shapes & borders in many sizes.

The pretty textures are from the Little Details embossing folders seen here. It's just $3.20 right now; while supplies last!

Here's the video for all 10 of my paper strips projects!
