6th Sunday of Christmas

-

 On the 6th Sunday of Christmas, my demo shared with me...a hot chocolate treat box!


Stampin' Up!'s acetate card boxes make great packaging! Whether you are giving a box of your handcrafted cards or creating a special treat like the one shown above, a little wrap with a stamped image makes the gift extra special.


Measurements (full list of Stampin' Up! supplies listed at the bottom of the post)

  • Painted Christmas DSP (2" x 12" and four 1" x 3" pieces)
  • Basic White cardstock (2-3/8" x 3-5/8)
  • Real Red cardstock (2-1/2" x 3-3/4")
  • Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon (18-20"), Kraft Baker's Twine (36-38")
Directions
  1. Wrap DSP around the box, creasing at the corners with your fingers as you go to get a nice, tight fit. This step is easier if you fill the box first.
  2. Stamp the seasonal bouquet image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink near the top of the Basic White layer. 
  3. Stamp "Warming thoughts..." sentiment in Real Red near the bottom of the the Basic White layer.
  4. Color image as desired with Stampin' Blends.
  5. Adhere Basic White layer to Real Red layer.
  6. Wrap ribbon/twine around box and tie in a bow on the right-hand side of the front of the box, noting intended placement of your stamped component.
  7. Adhere stamped component to card with regular adhesive or dimensionals, making sure that it's only attached to the DSP belly band and not the box itself.
  8. Wrap Hershey's Nuggets with the 1" x 3" strips of DSP.
  9. Insert two packets of hot chocolate mix into box (if you didn't earlier), then insert wrapped Nuggets along the side of the box.

Here's the video tutorial  for you.

It's Always Beach Time!

 It was rainy and cool all day today, but that's not going to dampen my beach vibes! I was inspired by a card done by a German demonstrator named Antje to create this sweet little card featuring the On the Horizon bundle from the Jan-June mini catalog. This bundle will be retiring at the end of June, but since I live in a beach community, I can't see it retiring from my collection any time soon. Measurements (complete supply list at the bottom of this post) Thick Basic White card base (5-1/2" 8-1/2", scored in half at 4-1/") Basic White scrap Old Olive scrap Chipboard or cardstock for template (4-1/2" x 5-1/2") Directions Cut a circle out of the template material where you want the circle to be on your finished project (centered horizontally but more toward the top than bottom). Place the template over the front of the card. Using Crumb Cake ink pad and a blending brush, apply ink to the lower third of the circle window. Using Balmy Blue ink pad and a b...

 It's apple season in Maine. I have to be honest, I don't pick a lot of apples. Or drink a lot of apple cider. But I do love apple cider doughnuts, so that counts, right? Tonight, I featured the More than Autumn bundle, which was also featured in my Sept. 24th Tune in Tuesday class. I love this bundle and think you will also! Measurements Crumb Cake card base (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored and folded in half at 4-1/4") Splendid Autumn DSP (medium green background and deep red background, each 3" x 4-1/2", plus a scrap of the deep red background) Basic White cardstock (5/8" x 3", scraps) Directions Adhere green background layer to card base on an angle, then add the red background layer on top, at a different angle.  Die cut circle from Basic White cardstock. Color the cup with Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends. Stamp cup on the circle using Early Espresso ink. Stamp cup again on the scrap of deep red background paper. Fussy cut the cup sleeve. Adhere t...

 It's still summery here in southern Maine, but the nights are getting cooler and it won't be long before the leaves begin changing. Until then, I have a card for you made with the Changing Leaves bundle, an Online Exclusive from Stampin' Up! It's currently on backorder, but should be in the week of September 9th. And in case you missed my Tune in Tuesday class a few days ago, I've linked to it after the link to the replay of my Friday Night Live where I created this card. Measurements Crumb Cake card base (4-1/4" x 11", scored and folded in half at 5-1/2") Basic White cardstock (4" x 5-1/4", various sizes of scraps for leaves and sentiment) Country Woods DSP (2-3/4" x 4") Linen Thread (four 6" lengths) Directions Adhere DSP layer to Basic White layer.
