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.

Save

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.

Honey Bee Fun Fold-card with Golden Honey paper

March 27, 2020

Here's a unique fun fold card that's super easy too! We made them at my March card clubs.

They had a choice of colors, either Pineapple Punch or Lovely Lipstick to go with the Golden Honey specialty designer paper. Unfortunately this gorgeous paper is no longer available; they ran out of it a few weeks ago. It was free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion that is still happening! Be sure to get your favorites while supplies last and before March is over!

On the above card we stamped the hive in Pineapple Punch and added a few die-cut bees and a greeting. Here's the inside view:

And below is the Lovely Lipstick version. Each of the cards uses the Honey Bee bundle seen on page 30 of your January – June mini catalog. Click here to see it online. The Detailed Bee dies have been unavailable for a few weeks but I hope they'll be back soon!

Bunny Punch Art; a Pillow Box treat

March 26, 2020

I made this project on this week's Facebook Live. Join me at 11 am each Tuesday here.

I have seen a few of these cute punch art bunnies and wanted to make some!

Save

I'll be sending one of these to my 6 year old granddaughter; who loves animals and chocolate.

It's just two punches to create one; the Medium Daisy and Balloon Bouquet punches. I used Crumb Cake and Blushing Bride card stock. The pom pom 'tail' totally makes it a bunny! These pom poms are from the Birthday Bonanza suite but sadly they are currently unavailable; they're out of stock. I hope they get more in soon.

That fun swirled die-cut circle is from the Painted Label dies on page 26 of the mini catalog. They are also currently unavailable but hopefully they'll be back soon. The Poppies products have been very popular!

Save

These pillow boxes are in our annual catalog on page 172. See them here.

Inside the pillow box I added 6 chocolate nugget candies that are wrapped with our cute gingham designer paper. I've been featuring this paper a lot lately. We have it in every color; that's 50 colors! It's part of a 6 X 6" Designer Series Paper on page 168 of the annual catalog. Or see it here.

Reflection Technique with Mountain Air

March 25, 2020
I honestly didn't know I'd enjoy creating with the Mountain Air bundle as much as I do. I didn't think it would be so easy to work with!

Even this reflection technique is simple to create. Do you know why? Because of the reversible nature of these stamps. The mountain image is textured on one side, creating the pretty mountain peaks on this card. The mountain shadow/reflection on the water is made with the same stamp but using the solid side.

Save

This card is part of my free written projects tutorial for anyone who placed an online order from me in March. And it's also free to anyone who orders the Mountain Air bundle too! You can see this bundle here.

If you order it in March you can get a free Sale-a-Bration choice! Below I show each stamp in three ways. First is the detailed side of the stamp, next is the flat side and lastly you see them together. Reversible stamps are so neat and Stampin' Up! is super clever to create them!

Save

Details for the card above:
1. I stamped the mountains first, then the trees underneath.
2. I turned the trees stamp upside down and without reinking, stamped them again for a reflection.
3. Next the mountain reflection.
4. Lastly I sponged a bit of light blue on the sky and darker blue for water.
5. The greetings are from the Well Written dies and Well Said stamp set.
6. Colors are Mossy Meadow, Pacific Point and Smoky Slate
