This week I wanted to spend some time focusing on Valentines Day.  I know some people don't celebrate it, but I love the opportunity to spread a little joy.  So, I made this treat box for you to recreate and spread some joy of your own.  To see the video on just how quick and easy this box is, click this link to my YouTube video tutorial.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Be sure to check out my online store.  There are a lot of new products and multiple promotions going right now.  It's Bonus Days earning period, which means any orders of $50 USD before tax & shipping but after rewards or coupons, earns a $5 bonus coupon to use in February.  When you order reaches $75, you can purchase the Product of the Month.  For January it's a sentiment only stamp set.  Trust me, you can definitely use this one.  

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

1/2 sheet fold flat box using July 2025 Online Exclusives

 Hello again.  I'm so glad you are here.  For today's project, I'm continuing my fold-flat box series, this time, I've redesigned the box to fit on a 1/2 sheet of 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock.  I love maximizing my paper, so I usually try to make boxes sized to make two from a single sheet of cardstock.  I've used some of the newly released July Online Exclusives for my box today.  I also showed a Halloween version in my video tutorial.  Be sure to watch the replay over on my YouTube  channel.





Measurements and Supplies:
Jar of Joy stamp set 166176
Sweet Jar bundle* 165507 (includes stamps and Jar Builder punch)
Stripes & Dots background stamp set 165334
Falling Snow background stamp set (to make your own patterned paper) 164312
Notes & Totes dies 164656 (for mini tag die-can be purchased in a bundle with stamps)
Real Red & White Baker's Twine 164051
Baker's Twine Essential Pack 155475 (white)
Real Red & White Adhesive-backed Peppermints 164050 
Ink Pads: Poppy Parade, Shaded Spruce, Secret Sea & Cloud Cover
Timid Tiger Stampin' Blends alcohol marker (I used the light from the combo)
Secret Sea cardstock for box, 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"
    Score on the 5 1/2" side at 1/2" & 1 1/2" from each end (score, rotate 180, score again)
    Score on the 8 1/2" side at 1" & 3 3/4" from each end. (score, rotate 180, score again)
Cloud Cover cardstock 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Basic White for stamping images
Velcro 3/8" thin fasteners (You can purchase at your local craft store or get from Amazon)

Please do watch the tutorial as I also show you my Halloween version using the Fright Night stamp set.  I have provided the template, but it is easier to make when you see how it's done (at least for me).

I hope you are inspired to make some of these fold-flat boxes.  Please share with me and my crafting community over on my Facebook group page, KnT Designs Stampers Group Social.  I would love to see what you make and I know my crafty friends would too.  In addition, please share what you found to fit inside.  

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

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
Stampin' Blends: Wild Wheat & Boho Blue *both are discounted
2023-2025 Opaque Sparkle Gems 163782 *discounted 
Wild Wheat cardstock 3 5/8" x 8 1/2" (already retired as inventory was depleted) 
        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:
Ink Pads: Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy, Secret Sea (sneak peek item coming 5/2025), Memento Tuxedo Black
More Messages die 165472 (sneak peek item coming 5/2025)
Mixed Labels stamp set 164643 (for thank you sentiment)
Basic White cardstock for stamping & for the tag and sentiment label
Stampin' Blends alcohol markers: Pecan Pie & Petal Pink
Paper Snips 103579

I hope you have enjoyed some inspiration for using the Musical Jamboree stamp set along with the die from Merriest Trees.  I've used that one die for so many different projects.  It's such a great size and I love the stitching!  To order your last chance items (or any other Stampin' Up! products), click on the shopping cart to the right.  I would truly appreciate your business.  

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