Circle of Spring Gift Bag

Today's project is another cute gift bag created with the new Gift Bag Punch Board. I am loving this new tool! I was super excited to share it with my Stamp Club girls this month, so we made this darling little bag using the 2015-2017 In Color Designer Series Papers.  The patterns are so cute and you get 4 each of 2 double-sided designs in each of the five colors!!  This is the Mint Macaron striped design. 

After assembling the bag, we embellished it with a delicate wreath from the new Circle of Spring stamp set...the images and sentiments are so pretty and they coordinate with the Wonderful Wreath Framelits. (Download Project Supply Sheet below)

The New Gift Bag Punch Board

Today's Birthday Gift Bag was created with the new Gift Bag Punch Board, Whisper White Thick Card Stock and the Build a Birthday Stamp Set.  This was a quick & easy project for my first run with the new punch board.  I will admit, it took me a couple tries to figure out the punching and scoring steps.  But just like with most new things, making a few mistakes helps me learn ;-)  Now that I have it figured out, I love it!!  

I've included a video tutorial from Stampin' Up! so you can see how easy it is to create perfect gift bags in three sizes in no time! 

 

Is anyone else as excited as I am that Stampin' Up! has added the new Whisper White Thick Card Stock to the catalog?!!!  I LOVE it!  The 100 lb. weight is absolutely perfect for making sturdy gift boxes and card bases!!

Another favorite is the new photopolymer Build a Birthday Stamp Set!  I love the versatility of these images for creating fun birthday candles, layered birthday cakes, patterned borders, or use them with the new Washi Label Punch or die-cut them with the washi tape die from our Mini Treat Bag Thinlits to create your own custom colored washi tape!  There's so much you can do with this awesome set!!

Flower Patch Card in a Box

 

I had some die-cut flowers from last week's Flower Patch Blooming Birthday card leftover, so I created this Card-in-a-Box for Mother's Day.  To be honest, I was a little intimidated by the looks of this project, but it's really very simple!!  I'll have another card-in-a-box project with the step-by-step assembly instructions posted soon, but you can also search "card-in-a-box" on YouTube for some great video tutorials!

I love how it folds flat to fit inside an envelope. The folded card fit into a 5 1/2" Square envelope.  

I cut a layer of Whisper White card stock, stamped some flowers and wrote a message before adhering to the back panel.  Such a fun project!!

The list of supplies for today's project are pretty much the same as my Blooming Birthday card...see it here.

Monogram Note Cards Gift Box

 

Today's project is a pretty gift box of monogram note cards created with the Sophisticated Serifs and Your Perfect Day Stamp Sets.  Both of these sets can be found in the Occasions Catalog thru June 2nd. 

I love this alphabet set!  It's perfect for monograms because it includes both upper and lower case letters of the entire alphabet, plus a pretty frame and three delicate flower images.

Sophisticated Serifs (set of 65)

I paired this with the pretty vine image from the Your Perfect Day stamp set for a feminine look.  I think these will make great Mother's Day gifts!!

Your Perfect Day (set of 10)

I used Pistachio Pudding and Crisp Cantaloupe, both are 2013-2015 In Colors that will be retiring in June.  I love these subtles and I'm very sad to see them go...I am stocking up on them now.  These colors will go fast, so get them before they're gone!

 

FYI...the entire Retiring Stamps & Accessories List will be announced next Tuesday. Items will be discounted up to 50%, so be sure to check back and get your favorites before they're gone!!

Curvy Keepsake Bunny Box

Isn't this the sweetest little Easter bunny : )  This is the Curvy Keepsake Box all done up for Easter and this month's 3D Stamp Club project.  The Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits die is one of the items carried over from our Holiday Catalog and it's super easy to die-cut and assemble!  I love that you can open and close it without destroying the box in the process, so it's re-usable!   Finished size is 2 1/2" x 2 3/4" x 2 1/2", and it'll easily hold a whole cream filled egg or a small gift!

There are four dies included, the box and three tags.

For today's project, I used several punches to create my Easter Bunny, but you can change it up and decorate it for any occasion!!

Painted Petals Lip Balm Holder

Today's project is a Lip Balm Holder that I decorated with the Painted Petals Stamp Set (a set of 13 beautiful watercolor images in your choice of wood mount, clear mount or photopolymer) and the little butterfly is from the Papillon Potpourri stamp set. 

This is what it looks like on the inside.  Just loving the beautiful watercolor florals!  I stamped a piece of Very Vanilla DSP to match and adhered it to the lip balm tube using our Adhesive Sheets.  

This was the 3-D project we made at this month's Stamp Club.

Valentine Mini Treat Bag

Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies 

For my project today, I used some great new items from the Occasions Catalog along with a couple of free Sale-A-Bration gifts. This sweet treat bag was created with the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies.  There is so much more to this set of thinlits than just the treat bag...check out all the great elements that come with it! 

Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies

I used the Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper (a free Sale-A-Bration gift) to create the tag, and mimicked the pattern in the paper using a sponge dauber and white craft ink on the bag. To create the open heart for my tag, I used our Sweetheart Punch on Real Red card stock, then positioned the heart thinlit included in the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies over the negative of my punched heart and die-cut.  The pretty Coastal Cabana polyester ribbon is included in the Best Year Ever Accessory Pack (also a free Sale-A-Bration gift).  

During the Sale-A-Bration Promotion, choose one free gift for every $50 Stampin' Up! purchase.  See them all in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.

Curvy Keepsake Gift Boxes

I cannot begin to tell you how easy it is to use the Curvy Keepsakes Box Thinlits Die. These little gift boxes went together so quickly and they're the perfect size for a small gift...just what I was needing!  I used the All is Calm Specialty DSP and Snowflake Embellishments, which are beautiful and perfectly appropriate for this particular day.  We had our first snow of the season today!!!  Have I mentioned that I LOVE SNOW!!!  

Okay, back to the boxes...I find that they are sturdier if I use card stock, as opposed to Designer Paper, so I die-cut one box from Soft Sky card stock and then a second from the Designer Paper and layered the pieces together with Liquid Glue before assembling.  The assembly is so easy...it's really just two steps.  Step 1 - Overlap the square bottom sections and adhere.  Step 2: Close the flaps.  You're done!  

The box is cute all by itself, so you could leave it as is or embellish it any way you like.  For mine, I created a snowflake tag by stamping a snowflake onto Soft Sky card stock and heat embossing it with White Stampin' Emboss Powder.  I punched it with the 1 1/4" Circle Punch  and tied the All is Calm Snowflake onto it.  I also added a pearl to the center of the snowflake and tied a bow with Whisper White Seam binding...I love the shimmer in this ribbon!  

In addition to the box die, there are three little tag dies included.  To see the whole set Click Here to go to my online store.
