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.

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.

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.

Hot Dog; what an amazing fun fold card!

March 19, 2021
Have you been enjoying the window cards I've shared this week? I have more coming tomorrow! My Flowerbug's Team amaze me each and every month. They really put effort into creating incredible projects like this fun & amazing card Annette made with the Hot Dot stamp set!

Save

I was blown away by it! She based her colors off of the Playful Pets designer paper seen here. *this will likely retire in a week!

It took a lot of time and effort into lining up the Stitched Nested Label dies so the Real Red window lined up with the inside layers. She told me that she adhered the designer paper to the front of the card before die-cutting the window. She did by placing the die between the layers cutting side up; in the middle of the card itself. That takes some patience in lining it all up!

Two Unique Window cards with Dragonfly Dreams & Soar Confidently stamp sets.

March 18, 2021

I'm featuring our Team Swaps this week and the theme was 'window cards'. I was so impressed with each and every one of them!

First up is Deloris's card with the Dragonfly Garden stamp set seen here.

The little dragonfly is from the Dragonfly Punch which is in the Dragonfly Garden bundle seen here.

Save

She used two of the Stitched Label dies and the Subtle embossing folder. Her colors are Pear Pizzazz and Rich Razzleberry. I believe she colored the flowers in with Blends markers. Beautiful job!

*The greeting and die-cut are retired and not currently available.

Next is a gorgeous card made by Ginny. She used the Oval dies and the Soar Confidently stamp set seen here.

Save

Her colors are Crumb Cake with Soft Suede & Vanilla. That great texture is from the Tasteful Textile folder in the annual catalog. Adding a bit of color to the balloon really makes it stand out! Take a look at the inside!
