Hexagon Shaped birthday card with Darling Dinos

 For today's project I've used some new dies by Stampin' Up! to make a hexagon shaped birthday card for my youngest grandson.  He'll be seven in March and is absolutely obsessed with dinosaurs so when Stampin' Up! released the Darling Dinos bundle in January, I knew I would have to have it.  Thanks for taking a look.  To see how I've put this card together, there is a video replay over on my YouTube channel.

To The Point Label topped box in a bag

 I saw an idea making a large box in a bag that used a 9” piece of Designer Series Paper which gave me the idea to alter the dimensions in order to make better use of a 12 x 12 sheet.  I usually make multiples so using a piece of Designer Series Paper that size wasn’t to my liking.  First, I altered it to make a bag that had a 1 1/4” square bottom and I really liked the size.  Then, I thought it might be less wasteful to make it a bit bigger and still get six from a 12 x 12 sheet but with no waste.  I went back to the math and came out with my larger bag measurements.  To see how I put both bags together, be sure to watch the video replay on my YouTube channel.







Supplies and Measurements:
Marbled Elegance Designer Series Paper 164919
    For Small Bag 3 1/2" x 5 1/2"
    Score on 3 1/2" side at 1 1/4".  If directional paper, the bottom of the pattern should be where you are scoring at (if using a Simply Scored, pattern bottom should be on the left.)  Rotate DSP clockwise to the 5 1/2" side.  Your scoring line should be at the top of the scoring tool.  Score only down to the score line at 1 1/4", 2 1/2", 3 3/4" and 5"
   
 For Larger Bag 4" x 6"
    Score on the 4" side at 1 3/8" (If directional, pattern should be on the left of the Simply Scored tool).  Rotate clockwise (score line should be at the top of the tool) and score only down to the score line at 
1 3/8", 2 3/4", 4 1/8" & 5 1/2"

Delicate heart shaped chocolates treat box

 I thought it would be a good time to make a small box to fit the Ghirardelli heart shaped chocolates which are currently available at my local Costco.  Of course, you can find them in most grocery/department stores now as well.  As Stampin’ Up!®️ is offering the  Heart Shaped bundle for free during Sale a-bration, it seemed like a great time to design a box to fit both products.  This is the result and I hope you will find it useful.  Watch the video replay on my YouTube.  channel and I’ll show you just how easy it is to put together.
