• 4-Card Wonder – free PDF tutorial, template, measurements & video!

  July 18, 2023

  ---

  Before we get to the projects today I want to share the sale Stampin' Up! just announced:

  
  

  Check over your wish list and see how many stamp sets are on it.  Might be a good time to place an order. With the Bonus Days happening you can double dip!

  Plus the Trucking Along bundle is back in stock!  See it here; get it while you can.  

  I'm extremely excited & proud to share this project with you.  If you know me well, you know I love to create one sheet wonders. I've made quite a few over the last 10 years or so.  I'm so lucky that my husband is willing to create the templates for me; I'm not sure I'd love them as much without his help!  

  I'm calling this project a 4-Card Wonder because it creates 4 cards.  I originally made this for a Team meeting project. I wanted it to be quick, create multiple cards and of course be easy and cute!  

  

  I shared this project & template on my weekly Live video but did record it and it's now on my YouTube channel as well. Scroll down to see the video.  

  Here's the template – it's meant for a 1/2 sheet of card stock – 8 1/2" X 5 1/2".  

  

  Grab your favorite colors of ink and stamp your own background.  Then cut it up using the measurements above!  It's so fun to create your own stamped paper. It's a bit addictive!  

  *Tip – choose stamps that include large & small images. When stamping your paper start with the largest stamps first and finish with the smallest; filling in any empty areas. 

  I chose the Beautiful Balloons bundle.  My colors include Bubble Bath, Berry Burst, Pool Party & Parakeet Party. 

  
  

  I kept the cards quite simple but you could sure jazz them up a bit more.  Make the cards like mine or this can be a starting point for your creative process.  

  You can watch the video on this project here.  It's the first project. Or click on the photo down below to watch it below.  *Remember to follow me on either my FB page here (Tuesday Live videos) or my YouTube channel here. 

  Here's the full PDF tutorial for you.  Download it here.

• 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
  • 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.

   

  

  You can watch the video on this project here.  It's the last project. Or click on the photo below to watch it below.  *Remember to follow me on either my FB page here (Tuesday Live videos) or my YouTube channel here.
