Double flap top fold-over gift card box

 Today’s project was inspired by Stampin’ Up!®️ staff who presented a similar box during a recent demonstrator event I attended.  I resized their box so that it would fit a gift card and you could still get two from a sheet to 8 1/2” x 11” cardstock.  I hope you find the box useful.  You could decorate with anything you have on hand for any occasion. It’s pretty quick and very easy to make.  I’m using my featured bundle this week, Poppin’ By, to decorate mine.  You can watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel.

Poppin' in to say hello book fold wreath

 This week I'm featuring one of the Online Exclusives bundles I just had to have as soon as I saw it.  My daughter asked me to make a gift card box for my grandson last Christmas as she was giving him a movie theater gift card.  I didn't have any stamps, so I had to seriously improvise.  This year, I won't have to do that with this set!  It's so cute and fun.  I was inspired during a Stampin' Up! demonstrator event with a wreath card I saw.  While I'm not using the set they showed, I was inspired to make a wreath with the popcorn pieces.  I do love how it turned out.  I don't think I would have thought to make the wreath if I hadn't seen that presentation.  If you would like to see how I put this card together, you can watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel.  




Supplies and measurements:
Poppin' By bundle* 165489 (includes stamps & dies)
Spotlight on Nature dies 163580 (can be purchased in a bundle)
2025-2027 In Color 6x6" DSP 165300 (Strawberry Slush splatter pattern)
    1 piece = 1" x 4", 1 piece = 4" x 4"
Basic Black cardstock 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2" & 6 3/4" for card base
Basic White for stamping and inside layer 4" x 4"
Daffodil Delight two-tone cardstock 166669 
Basic Black & Shy Shamrock scraps for glasses & sneaker die cuts
Ink Pads: Strawberry Slush, Daffodil Delight, Memento Tuxedo Black
Pack Your Bags Twine three-pack 165582 (Strawberry Slush)
Baker's Twine Essentials pack 155475 (Basic Black)
Wink of Stella glitter brush 141897

I hope you like this card.  Of course, you could use any stamps you currently have on hand and make this fun fold and a wreath.  It's one of the easiest fun folds and works the best for wreaths as it features  a square card on the right side perfect for showcasing a small wreath.  

Until next time; be happy, good health to you and happy stamping!

Turtle-y Sweet treat box

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I have a treat box I've designed for you today.  It features the Turtle-y Awesome bundle by Stampin' Up!  Demonstrators were able to watch a behind the scenes video where the product designer shared she had also designed the Darling Dinos bundle.  It made me think the sizes might correspond and be compatible.  When I researched my hunch, I found that you can interchange some of the elements between the two.  How fun is that!  This makes both sets far more versatile don't you agree?  I hope you find this box useful.  It's a 3" x 3" x 1" square pizza box style.  To watch the video replay on how I put my box together, head on over to my YouTube channel and see the tutorial.
