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. 

Save

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

Save

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!

• 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:

  Save

  
  

  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  I originally made this for a Team meeting project.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!  

  Save

  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".  

  Save

  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. 

  Save

  
  

  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.  

  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.
