Twelve Weeks Of Christmas Week 2-Lindt Chocolate Slider Box-VIDEO

Week two of my Twelve Weeks Of Christmas is the cutest stocking stuffer you'll see!  This one is great to make a bunch of, and easy enough that you won't mind making a bunch of them!  It's easy to modify to suit your treats and the supplies you probably already have.  Of course if you don't have them you can always shop for these supplies in my Online Store.  Today we're making a Lindt chocolate slider box.

This box is made up of two parts, the actual box part and the slider part.  You can make just the box part and stop there.  I wanted to step it up a little and add a slider part for the inside.  It's easy to do, it doesn't take much card stock and it makes for a really fun box.  My DSP is from the Santa Express DSP.  This DSP has so many fun classic Christmas patterns.  Each box uses a 6" x 6" piece of DSP so you can easily get 4 per 12" x 12" sheet.

I decorated my box with a fun tag.  I used the Sweet Candy Canes Bundle for my stamped images and I paired up that bundle with some other label dies that coordinate so well.  I used the Seasonal Labels Dies for my Petal Pink piece.  I ran it through the Merry Melody Embossing Folder for some added texture.  My greeting is stamped on a tag from the All That Dies.  These have great shapes and other labels.

The slider piece is made up of two pieces of Evening Evergreen card stock, they're cut and scored the same and adhered together on the bottom.  They slide easily in and out of the box and they're the perfect mechanism to slide your chocolates up and down.  In my box are three of the Lindt Truffles, you can find these year round, but especially at Christmas and sometimes in seasonal flavors.  Check your local stores.  

Box 
6" x 6" on one side score at 1 1/4"

Slider (two pieces)
7 1/2" x 1 3/8"
On the long side score at 1 1/8", 5 7/8" and 6 1/2"

A Little Cheesy Set Of Waterfall Cards-VIDEO

I'm so excited to share this card with you today, I actually have 4 that I'm sharing plus a video!  I love a card with movement, interactive cards are some of my favorite.  It's been a long time since I've made a waterfall card, I still remember the first time I saw one.  It was pure magic!  How was it even possible.  Today I'm going to share the secrets with you with a fun set of cards.  Supplies for each card is listed on the bottom of this post.  The card I demonstrated in the video is this adorable pudding one.  So we'll talk the most about this one.  The process is the same for all of them though.  I'm using the A Little Cheesy Set for all four of my cards.  The images and greetings are the best punny greetings ever!  You know I love a good pun!

stampin up, a little cheesy

What is a waterfall card?  When you pull the tab on the bottom the images on the front will rotate through until you get to the final image.  I promise whoever you give this card to will have endless hours of playing with it!  My waterfall cards have four panels, I stamped the images three times and the greeting on the final one for all my cards.  For my pudding, I colored each bowl of pudding differently, there's chocolate pudding, vanilla and pistachio.

stampin up, a little cheesy

Make sure you check out the video for the full effect of how awesome these cards are.  For my pudding card I went with a softer color combo.  I used Flirty Flamingo, Soft Seafoam and Soft Suede.  I love this fun greeting!

The next card uses the cheese image.  I went with a Calypso Coral, Pale Papaya and Basic Gray Color Combo for this one.  This card is also the only card that features a die cut background and not an embossed background.  For most of my cards I kept the backgrounds simple with an embossing folder.  For this card I wanted to mimic the cheese so I used my Dots and Spots Die to die cut the backround and I used some Blending Brushes to add some Pale Papaya Ink around the edges for more dimension.  

Stampin up, a little cheesy

I stamped my image three times just like in the pudding sample, they're all colored identically.  I used Pale Papaya Stampin' Blends.  When you flip through the images you'll see the greeting at the end.  This greeting was a little longer than the cardstock so I stamped it on an additional piece of cardstock then trimmed it and adhered it inside.  I love the look of that too.  You can use multiple colors for added texture.  

Stampin up, a little cheesy

Just like the cheese card for my wine card I stamped and colored the three images identically.  All of the cards have an anchor piece across the card.  This isn't adhered onto the card but instead it's held on with brads.  This is an important part of the waterfall card.  You need that back piece to move freely behind the anchor piece so adhering the anchor piece only with brads allows that movement.  I added ribbon to all of my cards on the piece that gets pulled down.  The ribbon helps to indicate they need to pull it.  You can also add small arrows if you wanted.  

Stampin up, a little cheesy

Also like the cheese card, this greeting was too long so I stamped it on another piece of cardstock and added it.   This one has the embossed background like the pudding and cookie cards as well.  When you have a card that is already complex, either with movement or a fun fold it's ok to keep everything else simple.  

Stampin up, a little cheesy

Finally my last card is the cookie.  I don't think I can pick a favorite but IF I were forced to, this one might be it.  But I LOVE the pudding and cheese and wine one too.  Who am I kidding I can't choose.  Make sure to check out the video for details on how to create these waterfall cards.

Card base 4 1/4" x 11" scored at 5 1/2"
Background 4" x 5 1/4" (either embossed or die cut)
Anchor 4" x 1"

Lovely and Lasting Cake Box-VIDEO

I have a really cute box to share today, I've made this style of box many times and I love to modify the measurements to suit exactly what I'm working on.  This clam style box is a great go to box for so many treats, it's easy to make and everyone always loves it!  It's my number one go to style of box.  Today I have a new to me treat inside!  We'll get to that in a minute.  I'm using the Lovely and Lasting Bundle.  This is a great bundle in the Annual Catalog.  The greetings are versatile and the images are classic.  Plus it's a punch Bundle.  I don't know a single stamper that doesn't love punch bundles.

Along with the Lovely and Lasting Bundle I'm also using the Celebrate Everything DSP.  This is a mega DSP stack of DSP, it's only available for purchase with Stampin' Rewards.  You start accumulating Stampin' Rewards with an order $150+.  Once you've earned Stampin' Rewards you can spend them on anything in the catalogs including host exclusive items like this one. 

stampin up, lovely and lasting

This is such a fun color combo too!  I love the Poppy Parade/Shaded Spruce/Pale Papaya Combo.  For my box I stamped the flower and stem image twice.  Once in Pale Papaya and once in Shaded Spruce.  I fussy cut the Pale Papaya flower and I used the Decorative Circle Punch to punch out the Shaded Spruce image.  I popped up the Pale Papaya flowers over the Shaded Spruce flowers with Dimensionals.  For my greeting I stamped it and punched it out with the coordinating Lasting Label Punch.  I added some ribbon that I colored with the Pale Papaya Stampin' Blends and finished my box with some Brushed Brass Butterflies.

Inside my box are Hostess Bouncers Cakes.  They're like the classic snack cakes we know and love but in smaller round balls.  They had this 'Ding Dong' flavor as well as the classic 'Twinkie' flavor.  Check out your local groceries for these.  If you can't find them, most other hostess twin pack cakes will fit this box or fill it with other small gifts and treats.  

Check out my video for all the details on how to make this box.  

To make the box you'll need some Poppy Parade Cardstock
8 1/2" x 8 3/4"

Day Two Santa Express Memories and More Cards

Today I'm sharing three more cards using the Santa's Express Memories and More Cards. I'm shared three yesterday, check those out here.  Along with the Memories and More Cards I'm also using the Memories and More Notecards and Envelopes.  This is a great coordinating product that will make your card making a breeze!  These cards are a little more stepped up then yesterday's but still beautiful and simple to make! 

stampin up, santa express

The first card uses both sizes of the Memories and More Cards.  They're layered up and the greeting is fussy cut from a third card.  The berries and leaves are from the sticker sheet and it's such an easy and quick addition to finish the card.  

stampin up, santa express

The next card is my favorite!  I layered one of the printed acetate sheets onto a large card.  I fussy cut the Santa and added him to a smaller card.  Everything is added onto a notecard for an easy card.  

stampin up, santa express

To step up this card a little I used one of the wood elements in the Memories and More Kit and I white heat embossed it just like I did with the tag on my advent calendar here. It's an extra step but it adds so much! 

stampin up, santa express

My final card is letting the Memories and More cards work for you.  I just layered up the cards onto the note card and added a scalloped border along the bottom of the smaller card. The scalloped border is from the sticker sheets.  These cards are so gorgeous.  Let them do all the hard work for you!

Today along with the Memories and More Cards I'm also using the Memories and More Notecards and Envelopes.  This is a great coordinating product that will make your card making a breeze!  

stampin up, santa express

My first card uses one of the printed cards and the printed acetate sheets.  It's so pretty and you can layer them so easily!  I used a second printed card and fussy cut some of the trees and popped them up for some added dimension.  This card is simple and quick!

stampin up, santa express

My next card uses more of the cards.  The larger cards in the kit fit perfectly onto the notecards!  There is no trimming, just adhere and you're done!  I used one of the stickers for my greeting and added in the top left corner.  

stampin up, santa express

My Santa in the train is fussy cut from another one of the cards.  Pop him up on dimensionals and this card is complete!  You can always add embellishments too but I think it's so cute as is! 

stampin up, santa express

My final card for today has a little more fussy cutting but it's totally worth it!  I fussy cut the greeting and the Santa from two of the cards and layered them onto one of the smaller cards,  I added it all to a notecard for a fun and simple card!

Twelve Weeks Of Christmas-Week 1-Christmas Countdown-VIDEO

 Welcome to my Twelve Weeks of Christmas Series!  Every Sunday I'll bring you a fun Christmas project that you can recreate for the holiday season!  These will be great for stocking stuffers, teacher, coworker, neighbor and family treats and gifts!  Join me live in my Facebook VIP Group every week for the video or catch the replay here on my blog after.  

stampin up, santa express

This week I'm kicking the series off with a super cute advent or Christmas countdown. I love advent calendars and so do my kids.  Let's face it getting multiple advent calendars can really break the bank!  This is one that doesn't take up a ton of space and you can make a few for gifts.  Or better yet, get the kids involved to make their own.  I'm using the Santa Express Memories and More Pack for all of my numbers.  This memories and more pack really makes this project easy!  Because you only get one sheet of numbers in the pack if you are making multiples you'll need one package per calendar.  Check my blog Monday and Tuesday this week, I'm sharing other fun ways to use the rest of the Memories and More cards in the package.  

stampin up, santa express

The boxes are 1" x 1" x 1" which is the perfect size for a Hershey Kiss, which is what I have in mine.  You could put other small treats too.  Or maybe notes of encouragement, bible verses, riddles/jokes, service projects acts, etc.  Don't let the small size fool you there's so much you can do!  

stampin up, santa express

You'll need 24 boxes total.  This is the most time consuming part, but the boxes do go together quickly and if you do them in assembly line style it will go much quicker.  Do all the trimming for all of them at once, do all the gluing for all of them at once.  For my box, my measurements are down to the 16th of an inch.  I know that seems complicated but our Stampin' Up! trimmer has measurements that small and to make the boxes slide in and out easily you need to measure to the 16th inches.  

stampin up, santa express

For each box (24 boxes total) you'll need:

Old Olive 2 13/16" x 2 13/16" score all four sides at 15/16"

Real Red 4 1/4" x 1" score at 1", 2", 3" and 4"

After the boxes were all assembled I adhered them together in rows of 6 each then stacked them and adhered them together.  Use the number in the Memories and More Kit to number them all and add ribbon and a tag to finish it.
