Tombstone Boxes-Sneak Peek and Video

I'm wrapping up my week of sneak peeks with an adorable Halloween treat box.  This one is so simple to put together.  Mostly because Stampin' Up! has done all the hard work!  The Tombstone Treat Boxes are one of the new products in the upcoming Mini Catalog and all you have to do is fold and assemble.  They've even already put the adhesive on for you!  Check out the video to see how quick and easy these boxes go together!  

For the outside of my box I used the Cutest Halloween Suite.  This entire Suite is a winner!  The stamp set has a coordinating punch to punch out the cute Halloween images. The DSP is soooo cute!!!  Plus there's ribbon and star sequins.  What's not to love!!!!??  For my box I used some of the DSP, each cut to 1" x 3" and one end punched with the Banner's Pick A Punch.  I added a tag with the Essentials Tag Punch.  I finished with some die cut letters and stamped and punched images from the set.  Don't forget the Gingham Ribbon and Stars!!!

Inside my box.  I wrapped some Hershey's Nuggets in some DSP.  To wrap the chocolates you'll need some DSP that is cut to 1" x 3".  I can't say enough good things about these boxes!  They come in a package of 8 so creating class treats or office gifts will be so easy this year!!!

The boxes are nice and big and you can fit more chocolates than I used.  I also made some fun patterned tissue paper.  I used white tissue paper and used my Stampin' Blends to draw stripes across then I trimmed my tissue paper into strips.  It's a really fun way to make sure every part of your box coordinates!  These new products won't be available until August 3, 2021.  If you love them and want a jump start, join my team!!  You can put these products in your starter kit!  I have a full supply list below.  You can shop for these products in my Online Store.  Make sure to check out the video for all the details on this box.

Penguin Place-Sneak Peek!

I have another fun sneak peek to share today!  This one features the new, and adorable, Penguin Place Bundle.  This is a punch bundle and I know how much we all LOVE a punch bundle.  The punch punches out the adorable penguin image, or build your own penguin with this punch.  It includes the penguin shape plus the white face/belly punch out.  So you can punch both, maybe one in black one in white and layer them for a sweet little penguin.  For todays card I used the stamp and punched him out.  

One of my favorite things about this stamp set is all the little extras you can add to the penguin.  There's scarfs, hats, presents, reindeer antlers and more!  All for you to dress you little guy as desired.  For the background of my card I used another new stamp in the upcoming mini catalog. This is the Candy Cane Background and OMGeeee!  It's the BEST!!!!  I can't wait to use this one more!  For my dots on the card, I used the Playing With Patterns Dots and colored the purple ones with my Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends.  I love customizing my accessories with Stampin' Blends.  The new products on this card will also be available on August 3, but you can get them now when you purchase the Starter Kit.  Join my team today!  I have a supply list below, you can shop my Online Store today for all other supplies.

Nuts About Squirrels Sneak Peek!

I have an adorable sneak peek to share with you today.  This card features the super adorable Nuts About Squirrels set and the Christmas Season Bundle.  There's also some brand new DSP on this card too!!  I love these two products so much!!  First let's chat about the squirrel.  This set is soooo cut!!!  The stamp set not only includes the line art images but also the stamps that fill in the images.  I love that the acorn comes in two stamps, the top and bottom of the acorn.  Being able to stamp them in separate colors adds so much dimension.  This set is sooo cute!!!!  

The Christmas Season Bundle is so amazing.  The leaves and pine cone were stamped and die cut with this bundle.  The leaves are so gorgeous.  Also included in the coordinating dies are some ribbon notches.  I used a couple of them on this, die cut into the DSP to add my Linen Thread.  Speaking of DSP, these patterns are from the Peaceful Prints DSP. This DSP will be a FREE Sale-a-Bration option starting August 3, 2021.  The new products on this card will also be available on August 3, but you can get them now when you purchase the Starter Kit.  Join my team today!  I have a supply list below, you can shop my Online Store today for all other supplies.

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"

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. I have a full supply list below, you can shop these products in my Online Store.

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"

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"
