Best Butterflies Tic Tac Mini Box-VIDEO

I'm so excited to share this adorable little treat box today!  When I say little I mean little!  This sweet box is only about 2" tall, 1 1/4" wide and 3/4" deep.  So it's a mini box but that just makes it that much cuter right!  You could easily make a bunch of these and have them on hand for anything!  I think these would be the cutest gift to make a stack of them and keep them in your bag and hand them out to people who help you out through the day, postal workers, bank tellers, grocery clerks, etc.  I think they'd love it!  

I used some of my favorites on this box.  The Best Butterflies Bundle is so much fun!  I just love playing with it!  In addition I also used the coordinating Butterfly Kisses DSP.  This stack of DSP has some amazing patterns!  I'll need to get more of this DSP ASAP!  The colors in the DSP are so great!  I'm using three of them today, Calypso Coral, Parakeet Party and Starry Sky.  I addition to the butterflies I used a new die set and some new paper.  The Sequins Dies are A.MA.ZING!  Please don't pass by them in the catalog.  I die cut mine with the new Rose Gold Paper-gorgeous!  

My fun box holds two of the pillow pack tic tacs.  I got mine on Amazon here.  You get a TON of them so you can make a lot of these cute boxes.  

DSP 3 1/2" x 4 1/2"

On the long side score at 1/2", 1 1/4", 2 1/2" and 3 1/4"

On the short side score at 3/4" each side

Blown Away

I have another card featuring the adorable Glad We're Friends Set.  I featured this set in my Facebook Live last week.  You can check it out that project here.  This little pup is so cute too!  Plus I love the greeting that goes with it.  This card is pretty simple.  I have a simple embossed background.  I stamped and fussy cut my dog but I left the fan on a square piece of  Basic White.  If I made this card again I'd use one of my Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a square for more texture.  I love that the dog is it's own piece.  Make's him stand out more.  

I added a Linen Thread bow for some textile texture.  I had to fussy cut the greeting, but I think the extra time it took is totally worth it!  I finished the card with some Classic Matte Dots.  I have a full supply list below.  You can shop for these products in my Online Store.

Perfectly Penciled and Hues Of Happiness

Today's card is gorgeous and it's most DSP doing all the hard work!  This was one of the cards that my team got to make at my recent team meeting.  If you've considered joining Stampin' Up! I'd love to have you on my team.  Now is a great time to join.  For $99 you get to choose $125 in product, PLUS this month you'll receive an In Color Bundle FREE!  It includes the new In Colors featured in grid paper, DSP, cardstock and ink pads.  PLUS enjoy free shipping on your kit and a FREE Paper Pumpkin!  So much for only $99.  Join my team today! 

This card is stunning and it all came together with DSP. The only stamping is the greeting from the new Charming Sentiments Set.  I've talked about how much I love this Hues of Happiness DSP. I promise I won't be using it on every project. This time I've paired up the Hues of Happiness DSP with the Perfectly Penciled DSP.  If you want a good black and white DSP this is the one you want.  The patterns are fresh and fun.  You can color them or add color in any way to them.  Or just leave them in black and white with a pop of color.  I used Parakeet Party for my leaves, punched with the Bough Punch for an even more intense pop of color.  LOVE it!!  I have a full supply list below.  You can shop for these products in my Online Store.

Guinea Be A Great Day Slider Box-VIDEO

I'm back today with another adorable treat box!  This one is so stinkin' cute!  I can't get over that sweet little guinea pig!  He's so adorable.  He's from the Glad We're Friends Set in the Annual Catalog.  I love the greeting that went along with it and I knew a cute treat box was in my future.  If you don't want to make a treat box you can use these same supplies and just add it to a card base.  It would make an equally cute card!  

In addition to the guinea pig and greeting I'm also featuring the Design a Daydream DSP. This mega stack of DSP is a host exclusive item.  You can only earn this DSP with Stampin' Rewards, that's free shopping dollars when your order is $150+ (before tax and shipping).  You don't have to place the order on your own.  Gather some friends and pool your orders, or contact me and I'll get a host code open just for you!  The patterns are so pretty, and the colors are so fun together!  Don't let this DSP pass you by! 

This cute box is designed like a matchbox slider.  I love this style of box.  It's simple, fun and you can design it to work with any treat.  I have full measurements below but make sure you check out the video for all the tips and tricks.  I filled my box with some Dove Chocolates-YUM!

Back to the guinea pig for a second.  I colored him using the Natural Tones Stampin' Blends.  You could also use any of our browns or grays.  I think the Natural Tones are a great choice for not only a large variety of skin colors but for cute critters too!  I used the new Stylish Shapes Dies for my circle and banner.  I finished the box with a fun bow using the Pool Party Sheer Ribbon.  

Not a fan of the guinea pig?  That's ok we can still be friends! I have another version to share with you.  This one uses the same DSP, a different pattern for the box though.  The banner is the same pattern I also use the Sending Smiles Set for this one. The inks are Daffodil Delight, Petal Pink and Rich Razzleberry.  The ribbon is from the Old Olive/Sahara Sand Twill Pack.  My box is made from Old Olive Cardstock instead of Pool Party.  Either box is the perfect gift!  

To make the box you'll need cardstock that is 6 1/4" x 3 3/4" score on each side at 5/8" and 1 1/4"

DSP Belly Band 3 3/4" x 5"

Hues of Happiness Pull and Pop Card-VIDEO

Today I have another fun movement card for you.  You can call it a fun fold or an interactive card.  I call it amazing!  First of all, I have to swoon on this DSP again.  I'm typically not a huge flower girl BUT this DSP is so incredible that I don't have a choice but to use it all the time.  This is the Hues of Happiness DSP and it coordinates with the Happiness Abounds Bundle.  Those flowers are die cut directly from the DSP.  My work was minimal but it looks like I'm a true artist! 

In addition to the DSP and dies, I used the coordinating stamp set for the greeting.  The stamp set doesn't cut out the words but they're not too complicated to fussy cut.  I added some Glossy Dots to finish up the front of this card.  

Let's get down to the actual card.  There is a card tucked into the base and when you pull it the card pops out!  It's so remarkable and mesmerizing!  I saw this card done by Lisa Curcio.  It was one of those cards that I had to stop the video and make it immediately.  

The pictures are not going to do this card any kind of justice so please check out the video for details and some tips that will help you make this card seamlessly.  In my video I used the same DSP and products but changed out the cardstock for Melon Mambo and my stamp set for the new Charming Sentiments Bundle.  

Make your own:

Base:

5 1/4" x 9 3/4" On the long side score at 4 1/4".  On the short side score at 1/2" each end.

Card:

3 3/4" x 7 1/2" On the long side score at 3"

Diagonal Pop Up Card With Sweetest Cherries Bundle-VIDEO

Today is a fun card!  I love a good fun fold and this is a good one!  The entire card folds up to a standard size card of 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" but when opened it's a whopping 5 1/2" x 12".  I love surprise cards like this!  I used the new Sweetest Cherries Bundle for this card, paired up with the Pretty Prints DSP.  This DSP isn't the type of DSP I tend to gravitate towards but I am LOVING this amazing DSP!  It's very versatile!  

Remember when you purchase a bundle you're automatically saving 10%.  It's a great deal!  The Sweetest Cherries Bundle is so fun too!  I love the images and the big greetings pair up so nicely!  This is a punch bundle that will punch the cherry, stem and leaf.  For my card I fussy cut the sweet.  I love it!  I used the basket texture stamp to stamp my circle for some added dimension.  After it was stamped it was very distracting so I toned down the stamping a little a by adding a layer of vellum.  This is a great hack to soften background stamping but still getting all that texture and dimension.  

When opened the card pops up from the back and the front, thanks to some strategically placed score lines.  This isn't my original design I first saw it here by fellow demonstrator Wendy Cranford. I thought it was so unique and I wanted to make one too!  I love it!  

I have a video below to take you step by step through this card.  It's not as hard as it looks.  I only decorated my first and last panels, you can also add some DSP to the center panel too if you want.  I used both Calypso Coral and Sweet Sorbet to stamp my cherries, it's not a color combo I would have thought of if not for the Pretty Prints DSP but I think they work well together.  

Make your own!

Cardstock 12" x 5 1/2" 

On the long side score 4" from each side

With your cardstock in landscape mode, mark your first score line at 2" from the top, score diagonally from the mark up to the top left corner, then up to the corner of the center panel and second score line.  

Mark the second score line at 2" from the bottom, score diagonally from the mark down to the corner of the center panel and second score line, then down to the bottom right corner

DSP two pieces 5 1/8" x 3 3/4"

With your DSP in portrait mode, mark one piece of DSP at 1 5/8" from the top on the right side.  Cut from the mark up to the top left corner. 

Mark the other piece at 1 5/8" from the bottom on the left side.  Cut from the mark to down to the bottom right corner

DSP belly band 1 1/2" x 12"

New Catalog Kick Off Class

Over the weekend I held my in person New Annual Catalog Kickoff Class!  This is one of my favorite classes of the year.  I LOVE the cards that my guests got to make!  I don't have a supply list listed for these cards, that is reserved for my in person guests.  All of these products are available in my Online Store.  Shop here.  

First is this adorable card featuring the Cup of Tea Bundle and Tea Boutique DSP.  I love the colors and the soft feeling to this card.  But my favorite part of this card is inside....

Inside the card is a 3" x 3" envelope, the perfect size to hold a tea bag!  What a cute surprise!

The next card is a fun gatefold card.  These two colors are two that I might not have paired together but boy do I LOVE THEM!  Bermuda Bay and Starry Sky are a perfect combo.  This card uses the Happiness Abounds Set and the Pretty Prints DSP.

Of course I had to use the Sweet Songbirds Bundle.  This simple card is soooo cute!  You could easily make a stack of these for friends in no time!  In addition to the Sweet Songbirds Bundle I also used the Fabulous Frames Dies. What a fun combo!  

The Sending Smiles Bundle is one of my favorites!  I have yet to make a card I don't like and this card is no exception!  I love the combination of stamped and die cut images.  So gorgeous!  I love it paired with the Dots and Spots Die.  

Finally, the last card is so stunning!  I used the Good Feelings Set paired up with the Hues of Happiness DSP.  This is a great use of scraps and the card is so gorgeous!
