Spring Catalog display boards

I thought I'd share some of my display boards featuring Spring Catalog products.  I've heard back that you enjoy these so here you go…..

First up is the Hot Air Balloon and Bee My Valentine projects:

Save

Remember that many of these are swaps and are not made by me. I like to group cards together that use the same stamp set or designer paper. 

Here is the Hot Air Balloon dies display.  See the Hot Air Balloon bundle here.

Next is the Perennial Lavender suite plus the Hills of Tuscany stamp set on the lower left.  

Save

Here's a close-up of the Perennial Postage dies I put together.  These are fabulous! See them online here.

Next is the Nature's Sweetness suite that features two bundles!

Below is the die display I created that is part of the Notes of Nature bundle seen here.

Below is the Lovely & Sweet dies display; see that bundle here.

I featured both of these bundles in a recent video seen here. Everyone loved the projects!

• 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. 

  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)

  Save

  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. 

  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.

• Three more background ideas on these Team swap cards

  July 14, 2023

  ---

  Our Flowerbug's Team card swap theme was to create our own backgrounds.  I shared three cards yesterday and here are three more:

  Yellow is the underlying color on each of these swaps which is a perfect color for summertime. First is a pretty card in a blue & yellow combo by Candy.  

  Save

  She stamped the Timeless Tile background stamp and then textured it with an embossing folder.  She also used the Bottled Happiness stamp set. Her colors include Misty Moonlight & Daffodil Delight.  Such a beautiful card!

  ~~~

  Next is a card made by Jacki with the Hello Ladybug stamp set & Ladybug Builder punch.

  Save

  She stamped her background with the daisy image in the stamp set, heat embossing it with White embossing powder.  It sure pops on the Black card stock!  She added Daffodil Delight & White card stock for a poppin' color combo.

  I LOVE her bumble bee!  She used the punch for the body (adding Daffodil Delight strips to the Black body) and the wings are punched from Window Sheets.  So clever and fun. 

  Save

  ~~~

  Next is another pretty card made by Paula. She featured the Petal Park, Two-Tone Flora and Timeless Arrangements stamp sets. 

  Save

  Her colors include Daffodil Delight, Black, White & Old Olive, stamped off.  She added a few Brass Butterflies and our Black & White gingham ribbon.  

  I'll share the rest of our swaps next week.  Have a great weekend!

  Tomorrow is the last day of my special offer on my card kits to go. 

  *Buy two past kits and I'll add a new/retired stamp set to your package. There are 7 choices! Go here to shop.
