Paper Pumpkin April 2016 Lovely Little Wreath Alternatives

Hello and Welcome to my Blog,
Today I am sharing the Paper Pumpkin April 2016 Lovely Little Wreath project alternative. But first here is the video tutorial for this project kit.

 I really love the way the little wreath looks just as they designed it, however I wanted to add just a little color by using the minimum extra supplies, so this is what I came out with.

The kit includes supplies to make 6 gift tags and 4 frame tags, I decided to make a box to store the tags, see below for instructions to build this box.

The Box finished size is 3-3/4 wide X 2-1/2 tall and 1-1/4 depth

Box instructions:

I used the Envelope Punch Board first 1) Trim your paper to 7″ x 7″ and line up the top left corner of your paper to the 3″ mark on the board (DON'T PUNCH) Score your paper  and rotate it counter clockwise 90 degrees. Line up the score line you just made with the score guide and score. Repeat this until you’ve score all four sides of the paper.

2) After you finish scoring the fourth side, scoot the top left corner of the paper to the 2″ mark on the board and score. Rotate the paper 90 degrees counter clockwise, line up the score line you just made with the score guide and score again. (Be sure you use the newest score line and not the previous ones when aligning your paper with the score guide.)

3) Repeat the scoring process until all four sides are scored. You should now have 8 score lines on your paper.

 Cut your scored paper as shown in the photo below to create a box template. Round the corner of what will be the top panel (the panel without any tabs).

Now is time to stamp your box template then place adhesive on the tabs and assemble the box.

This month's Paper Pumpkin included an extra set of Stamps for Subscribers called "All About Everything" , please come back and visit my blog to see what I have created with this stamp set :)

I hope you like this project as much as I do.  If you would like to Subscribe to Paper Pumpkin and join the Fun please click HERE. Chose a demonstrator or I will be so happy if you can pick me as your demonstrator: Olga Cavanaugh.

Stampin'Up Mother's Day Gift Set

Hello and Welcome to my Blog,
Today I would like to share with you a Mother's Day Gift set made with the Stampin'Up Have A Cuppa Suite. This collection has all you need to create amazing and unique gift sets to celebrate Moms, Sisters, and Friends!
The Tea cups and kettles as well as the little spoons and tiny lemon slices are super cute and perfect to embellish any project. I created a gift set that includes a Tea towel, Assorted Tea packets and a set of 4 Note Cards with Envelopes.

This is a square box with lid that measures 6-1/2 X 6-1/2 finished. You can watch a video tutorial by Pootles HERE to learn how to make this box. On my box I just changed the scoring to be at 2-3/4.

I added dividers to separate the items and to have them more organized. 

Top Divider: Cut a piece of card stock 5-1/4 X 9-1/2 and score on long side at 2-1/2, 4, 5-1/2. 

Bottom Divider: Cut a piece of card stock 4-1/2 X 6-1/2 and score on short side at 1/2, 2, 3-1/2.

The Tea holders were made with the Envelope Punch Board. My tea packets needed an envelope size 3-1/4 X 2-3/4. I cut a piece of Designer Series Paper 5X5 inches and scored it at 2-1/4 to build the little envelope.

The following are the 4 note cards. I kept them as simple as possible but yet showcasing as many of the elements in this collection, also they fit perfectly fine in the envelopes.

Supplies Used:

A Nice Cuppa Bundle #141074

Have a Cuppa Designer Series Paper # 140567

Bermuda Bay 1/8" Stitched ribbon # 140569

Have a Cuppa Embellishments # 140570

Stampin'Up Rose Garden Shadow Box Wedding Card and Box

Hello and Welcome to my Blog!
On this post I am sharing a Shadow Box Wedding Card and Box made with the Rose Garden Thinlits dies and the Timeless Textures stamp set.

See below for Box assembly instructions.

The Shadow Box Card finished size is 7-1/8 x 4-1/2

I followed the tutorial by Amanda Bates click Here to see her instructions on how to assemble this Shadow Box Card base.

On a separate piece of Whisper White card stock cut at 6" X 3-3/4"  I stamped ramdomly with the Timeless Textures stamp set and Wisteria Wonder ink all around the edges to create a background. I cut the two rose pieces from the Rose Garden Thinlits dies in Whisper White card stock and glued them on the frame of the shadow box. I added some Dazzlign Diamonds stampin glitter to both rose cuts.

Box assembly Instructions:

Cut a piece of white card stock at  9"X12"

Score on long side at  5, 5-3/4, 10-3/4, and 11-1/2

Score on short side at  3/4, 7-7/8, 8-5/8

This Shadow Box Card looks difficult however it goes really easy once you assemble the base, and the results are amazing!

Stampin'Up Market Fresh Thank You Gift Set

Hello and Welcome to my Blog!
Today I would like to share with you a Thank You Gift Set made with the Stampin'Up Market Fresh stamp set and the Berry Basket die.

The Strawberry picking season at our local market starts on February and it goes until May. It has been so amazing this year! I decided to pack some fresh strawberries and bring to my family and friends, and what a fantastic way to do this by using the Stampin'Up Berry Basket die and coordinating Designer Series Papers!

To build the basket I used the Stampin'Up Berry Basket die and Kraft card stock for the base, Cherry Cobbler card stock for the scallop border, 2-1/2 squares cut from the Farmers Market Designer Series Paper to decorate.

I made this card to complement the basket.  I used the Market Fresh stamp set and Farmers Market designer series paper, I stamped image on Shimmery White paper and used the Aqua Painters to watercolor it. The colors I used are Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Soft Suede. The image fits perfect on the 2-1/2 circle punch and I cut an extra layer of Cherry Cobbler with the Circles framelits. The Apothecary Accent die is retired; however you can substitute by using one of the Deco Labels framelits. I used the Softly Falling Embossing folder on the first layer of Very vanilla card stock to blend in with the soft dots on the designer series paper background.

Other supplies used are: Burlap ribbon, Antique Brads, Woodgrain embossing folder, Clothespins.

 Stampin'Up products really make gift packaging so attractive and unique, I really enjoyed making these projects and I hope the gift recipients like them too!

I also hope you liked these projects and found some inspiration to make your own gift sets, if you would like to shop for any of the Stampin'Up products used here please visit my Website HERE.
