Nothings Better Than Quick Coffee Box-VIDEO

This week has been soooooo crazy!!!  My to do list gets longer and longer every day.  The kids have activities in the morning so by the time I get home half my day is gone! We have about a month left of summer vacation and I know for this mama, I'm ready for school to start.  It's been a BUSY summer.  When I'm super busy and on the go so much I love to have little treats in my bag that I can hand to show a little gratitude to those who help with my errands or kids activities.  This is the perfect treat to keep in your bag!  They're affordable, small and at least here they won't melt on those hot summer days in your bag.  

This cute treat box holds a Starbucks instant coffee.  I got mine at Target, they sell them everywhere though.  There's 8 per box for only a couple bucks so they're really cost effective too and just a cute way to show someone you care.  I'm using the Nothing's Better Than Set and Love You More Than Dies.  This set is sooo much fun and I love the cute retro images in this set.  The dies are pretty amazing too!!!  

Check out my video below for all the details on this treat box.  To make if you'll need a piece of cardstock that is 7" x 2 5/8"

On the long side score at 4 1/2" and 4 7/8"

On the short side score at 3/8" and 3/4" from each side

In The Wild Birthday

Need a quick card?  This is the perfect layout to pull out when you need a quick card.  This is a card you could easily make a stack of.  For this card I used the In The Wild DSP, any of our amazing DSP's would work great.  Now is a great time to stock up on DSP.  We have nine amazing packs on sale this month only.  To make the card you'll need two pieces of DSP, one at 1 1/2" x 3", another at 3" x 3".  I used a piece of Crushed Curry Cardstock at 3 1/4" x 1" to place where the DSP's overlap.  I embossed the cardstock with the Animal Print Embossing Folder, but another piece of DSP could easily be substituted.  Finish the card with some simple stamped images and embellishments.

Pretty In Pink Class

Over the weekend I had an In Person Class.  This one was themed "Pretty In Pink".  All the card feature different pinks.  I really LOVE these cards.  They're some of my favorites that I've planned for a class in a long time.  I don't have a full supply list below, these cards were exclusive cards for my guests at my class.  If you're in the Albuquerque are I'd love to have you at my next class.  Contact me for details.  

The first card uses Magenta Madness and the Beauty Of Friendship Set.  I love pairing Magenta Madness with black and gold.  It's such a gorgeous color combo! We used one of the tree stamps to add lots of texture to the Magenta Madness pieces.  I love using stamp sets for purposes other than what they're intended for.  

 

The second card uses three different pinks.  We used Blushing Bride, Flirty Flamingo and Melon Mambo.  I love this color combo.  I pulled out some of my favorite floral dies, the Pierced Blooms Dies.  This card would be gorgeous with lots of color combos.   

The next card is one of my favorites!  We used Petal Pink with just a little Blushing Bride.  I love the To The Moon Set featured in this card.  The soft colors and gorgeous images just make this card a winner in my book!  

The next card uses our newest pink, Polished Pink.  I love pairing up Polished Pink with Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay.  This color combo just makes me happy!!!  This card couldn't be more summery!  The colors and pineapple from In The Tropics Dies they just scream summer!!!  To really jazz up the card we also used the Polished Pink Shimmer Vellum.  

For the final card we used Melon Mambo and the Sweet Strawberry Set!  There's so much to love about this card!  We added a pink halo of color with some Blending Brushes.  I love the pop of black and white from the Pattern Party DSP.  I'd love to have you at my next class!

What's Cookin' Donut Box-VIDEO

I have the CUTEST box to share today!  This is one of my favorite boxes!!!  I am completely loving the new What's Cookin' Bundle.  It's for sure one of my favorites from the Annual Catalog.  Maybe even one of my all time favorite bundles!  I have an in person class today and I always like to give thank you gifts to my guests attending because I truly value that they've chosen to stamp with me and to spend part of their day with me.  Today everyone is getting one of these adorable boxes!  

I paired up the What's Cookin' Bundle with some DSP from the Pattern Party pack.  This is the DSP that you can only get with Stampin' Rewards.  You start accumulating Stampin' Rewards dollars when you place an order of $150+.  You can use those Stampin' Rewards to shop for anything but especially host exclusive items like the Pattern Party DSP.  You don't have to put in a large order by yourself.  Gather a friend or two and then split the DSP this is a MEGA pack and big enough to share.  

This is a great size box and perfect for lots and lots of treats. Inside mine are mini donuts.  I got these in a GIANT box from Sam's Club but I've seen them in the grocery store in smaller quantities too.  

I have a trimming diagram below but make sure to check out my video for all the tips and tricks to assemble it.  If you like the video make sure you subscribe to my YouTube channel.  

To make the box you'll need a piece of cardstock that is 8 1/2" x 9"

On the short side score at 2", 4", 6", and 8"

On the long side score at 1/2", 2 1/2", 6 1/2" and 8 1/2"

Cracker Jack Double Slider Box-VIDEO

I have a really fun box to share today!  I strongly encourage you to check out the video for this one.  There's a lot of moving parts and pieces to this box.  But it's completely worth it and once you get the process down you can customize this box to ANY treat or gift!  It's so much fun and it will have your friends and family oohhh and ahhhing over your amazing creativity!  

I've made these double slider boxes for years, but this one is for sure the biggest one I've ever made!  The finished size is about 6 1/2" x  2".  Because it's a bigger box you will need some 12" x 12" cardstock for this box. Inside are a box of Cracker Jack.  I searched high and low in my are for these locally but in the end I had to order them from Amazon.  This box is so much fun!  Each side has a pull tab, when you pull on each of those tabs the treat slides out of one end and the greeting slides out the opposite end.  You don't have to pull both sides at once, you can pull one side and both will slide out, but since this is a larger heavier treat the stability of holding each side is beneficial.  

The magic is a piece of plastic that is sliding inside with either, or both, sides are pulled.  Watch the video for all the step by step details of this box.  If you like the video please subscribe to my YouTube Channel.  I have a full list of supplies and measurements below.  I also have a complete product supply list.  You can shop for all of these products in my Online Store. 

Daffodil Delight box base 11 1/2" x 6 1/2" 

On the long side score at 2 3/4", 5 5/8", 6 7/8", 9 3/4" and 11"

Relax Your Way

If you need a great card for a masculine birthday or occasion this is one you'll want to remember!  I used the A Good Man Set.  This is a set you'll want to have if your stash.  It's a great one to pull out for masculine cards.  I colored my image with Stampin' Blends, this image would look great watercolored too. I have a supply list below with all the colors I used. I fussy cut my image but if that's not your thing you can stamp it on a circle or other die cut shape.  

For the background I embossed the Crumb Cake Cardstock with the dots folder from the Checks and Dots set.  I love this set of folders, they're so versatile.  I added some twine from the Essentials Baker's Twine pack and some DSP from the Bloom Where You're Planted DSP.  If you love this DSP get it on sale this month!  Stock up and save on your favorite DSP's.  I have a full supply list below.  You can shop for these products in my Online Store.

You're the GOAT

This card gives me all the feelings!  I love the cute goat, the coloring with Stampin' Blends, the DSP and the square In Color dots.  This card is soooo cute!!!  There is a fair amount of fussy cutting so if you're not a fussy cutting fan you might want to stamp your images on a larger circle so you don't have to fussy cut them.  But there is something special about fussy cutting and it really makes those images really pop!  For the background I used the Bloom Where You're Planted DSP.  I love that brick wall pattern!  I used my Cinnamon Cider Stampin' Blend to add some splatter on the DSP.  That gives it even more texture and interest.  LOVE this DSP-this month it's on sale!  Stock up and save on your favorite DSP patterns!  

For my images I colored them with Stampin' Blends.  I used some simple coloring and only used a few colors.  The goat is colored in Gray Granite, the cans Gray Granite and Cinnamon Cider.  What I love about Stampin' Blends is that you can layer color, shade and give lots of shadows and texture.  I finished the card with some In Color Square Dots.  These are soooo much fun and quickly becoming one of my favorite embellishments.  I have a full supply list below.  You can shop for these products in my Online Store.

The DSP is 3" x 11" (you could leave it at 12" if you didn't want to trim it).  I used the Basic Border dies to add some fun texture to the top of my DSP.  To keep my pouch closed I used some Flirty Flamingo Ribbon.  Check my video below for how I trimmed my box and assembled this fun pouch.  I have a full supply list below.  You can shop for these products in my Online Store.

Striped Hugs

 I have another gorgeous card to share today using the Sending Hugs Bundle.  I shared another card with this bundle last week.  You can check out that card here.  This is one of my favorite bundles in the catalog.  I love the big line art image and the die cut letters are amazing!!  I didn't use the overlay die cut on this card but you can check that out on my other card.  For this card I kept it simple and brought in color only with the cardstock strips.  

I used all the new In Colors for this card.  This is a great card for scraps. I pulled out what I had and cut different widths.  I used another scrap piece of Basic White to adhere them together.  I used my Stamparatus to stamp the image not only on the Basic White piece but the scraps too.  That means that I can get exact placement of the stamped image.  I love that the strips of cardstock are the only colors on this card. I finished the card with the die cut letters adhered over everything and some sparkling Rhinestones!  LOVE!!  I have a full supply list below. You can shop for these products in my Online Store.
