Party Banner Love & Courage open top box

Hello and welcome back to my blog.  Today I'm sharing a treat box I made with the Party Banner dies.  I had seen Ronda Wade make a box using the banner dies so I decided to create one for myself.  Because it's the beginning of October and Breast Cancer Awareness month, I thought it only fitting to create a box using the Love & Courage stamp set.  This set is the Making a Difference fundraiser for Stampin' Up!  $3 of each stamp set purchased is donated to a breast cancer organization in each of their markets around the world.  I've used multiple techniques in the creation of the box so be sure to watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel.

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):

    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"

Make a Wish with Pigment Sprinkles background

I was playing around with Stampin’ Up!’s new pigment sprinkles.  This background came together, and then it sat around for a few days before I came up with the card for today.  Here’s the original background piece:

I didn’t want to hide the beautiful background, I just wanted a simple sentiment that would compliment it.  I used a retired stamp set called called Life is Grand.  It is a sentiment only set and is one of the new fabulous distinktive© stamp sets that Stampin' Up! has released.  Of course, if you don't already own this set, you could use any sentiment you have on hand.  The label comes from the new Wild Rose dies (149547).  These can be purchased along with the To A Wild Rose stamp set in a bundle and during the 2019-2020 catalog period you save 10% when you purchase the bundle.  151073.  The stamp set is one of the sets inspired by million dollar sales achiever Mary Ellen Byler.  It's a must have, please check it out in my online store.  I added a strip of tricolor ribbon and bow to finish the card off  (149708).  My focal panel is 3 3/4" x 5' with an A2 card base of thick whisper white.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today, I hope I have inspired you to try out the pigment sprinkles 149663.  They come in a box with six different colors (bermuda bay, gorgeous grape, daffodil delight, granny apple green, melon mambo and mango melody.)  I used bermuda bay and gorgeous grape on watercolor paper to achieve this effect.  Simple sprinkle them on your paper, spray with water carefully and watch the magic.  Let dry and have some fun.  As you can see in the first photo, I taped my paper with washi tape to ensure it stayed flat. 

If you wish to order any of the supplies I've used today and you live in the USA, please click on the shopping cart.  It will take you directly to my online store.  Make it a great day and happy stamping. 

Hedgehog Happiness thank you card

Although this card features a retired stamp set, I combined it with products you can get from the 2018 Sale-a-Bration (SAB) brochure and some items from the annual catalog. The focal image was colored with our new Stampin' Blends alcohol markers.  I used Rich Razzleberry (144602), Smokey Slate (145058), Crumb Cake ((144601), light Daffodil Delight (144586), light Calypso Coral (144042) light Pink Pirouette (144592), light Old Olive (144574) and Bronze (144607).  The image was stamped in Momento Tuxedo black ink (132708) which is  a must for using the blends with.  It won't smear or bleed as it is meant to be used with alcohol inks.  The Springtime Foils designer series  paper is from the second release of SAB products which you  can choose for free when you purchase each $50 increment of product.  I used a sponge brayer (141714) to layer Berry Burst ink over  the white background to change the color.  I love how it turned it. The ribbon is from the 2018 occasions catalog and is the Berry Burst 3/8" metallic-edge ribbon (145489).  The card base is a piece of Berry Burst cardstock.  It can be purchased separately (144243) or in a multi pack of 2017-2019 in color cardstock (144247).

We do have a current stamp set which features adorable hedgehogs and is called Hedgehugs.  It is equally adorable and available now.  SAB items are available while supplies last, but no later than March 31, 2018, when the promotion ends.  Be sure to get yours right away before they sell out.  The Occasions catalog is available until May 31, 2018. Click on the shopping cart to the right, to go to my online store to make your purchases and be sure to take advantage of SAB.  Each $50 increment spent earns you one item.  If you spend $100, you can choose two in the $50 category OR for the first time, Stampin' Up does have three options to purchase at the $100 level.  Be sure to check it out.  You won't want to miss out. 

Thanks for taking time out of your busy day to stop by my blog.  I hope I've inspired you to do something creative today.  Please leave me a comment, I'd love to hear from you.
