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.

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

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.

Sending Positive Thoughts; love this new stamp set!

January 10, 2020

This Positive Thoughts stamp set seems to be a 'sleeper' to some people but it caught my eye right away! Everyone asked where the stamp set was when they saw my cards.

Save

I knew I could make pretty cards with the images; the leaves, flower and feather are perfect with lots of fine details. But the greetings; they are some I will definitely get a lot of use of.

Save

This soft, botanical card is one I made for an online swap I participated in. I used Mint Macaron, Pretty Peacock and of course the pretty Petal Pink. The new champagne rhinestones and Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon was color inspiration.

I also used the new Stitched So Sweetly dies; my top pick in the entire new catalog! See them here.

Save

I'll share a second version of this card with you tomorrow.

The left card is a shaker card; they're very special and interactive. And not hard at all! Using Window sheets and our Foam Adhesive strips sure make it easy! I used the following products: (click on each one)
The card on the right is stitched with our metallic thread; basically like string art. If you like to cross stitch you will like this fun technique. I timed it and it took me about 8 minutes to finish one heart.

Save

The Heart Doilies make it super simple. I used these products on this card:
The greeting on the Valentine's card is from the Heart to Heart stamp set. I chose to order this one because it's not just for Valentine's Day but it does includes the greeting. That makes it very versatile to me.
