Musical Jamboree Thank you treat box made with tag dies

 I have a treat box made with the tag from Merriest Trees dies for you today.  I’ve combined it with the singing coyote from Musical Jamboree.  I thought this would make a cute music teacher’s gift.  It can fit a gift card and Ghirardelli chocolate squares if you use the larger template (3 1/4" x 3 1/2") which fits the sides of the tag exactly.  The smaller template (3 1/8" x 3 1/2"), does not fit a gift card and fits just inside the stitching on the tag.  I’ve included both sizes here, they’re made exactly the same way, using the same scoring measurements and cutting directions.   Check out the video replay over on my YouTube channel to see how I’ve put it together.  

Supplies and Measurements:

Last Chance items (while supplies last):

Musical Jamboree stamp set 163616

Merriest Trees dies 162047 *discounted (coordinating stamps also discounted)

Wild Wheat Rustic Striped Ribbon (about 14") 164061 *discounted

        Substitute Mossy Meadow or Crumb Cake if needed.

    Cut two pieces from the 8 1/2" strip at 2 5/8" for tags, trim remaining piece to 3 1/4" x 3 1/2"

Current product not on the last chance list:

You’re the Best carved wood & watercoloring technique card

I found another technique I hadn’t heard about before and decided to give it a try.  I watched Gina K Designs show the carved wood technique and thought I really needed to give it a try with some Stampin’ Up!®️ products.  I hadn't used the Layered Florals 3D embossing folder and since it's on the last chance list at a discount, it's the perfect time to grab it if you overlooked it previously.  When I saw this, I thought it would be perfect for wood carving.  Be sure to watch the video tutorial to see all the techniques I shared on this project.  You can see it on my YouTube channel.  

Supplies and Measurements:

Spotlight on Nature stamp set 163579

She's the Greatest stamp set 165439

Water painter or paint brush

Paper Snips 103579 for fussy cutting

I hope you will give the wood carving technique a try.  It does take a bit of practice to get the ink swiping light enough if you tend to be heavy handed like I am.  But as you can see, it's well worth the little bit of practice.  

Until next time; be happy, stay healthy and happy stamping!
