7th Sunday of Christmas

-

 On the 7th Sunday of Christmas, my demo shared with me... a bag box! At least that's what I'm calling it. This bag box will hold a pack of notecards and envelopes (not full-size cards, just our notecards), a cello bag filled with cookies or other treats, some bath and body products,... lots of stuff. It measures 4"W x 1-3/4"D x 3-3/4"H and is made from one sheet of DSP.


Measurements (an instructional video plus a full list of supplies can be found at the bottom of this post).

  • Painted Christmas DSP (6" x 12")
  • Evening Evergreen CS (1-3/4" x 4" and a large scrap)
  • Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon (about 12")
Directions
Note: If your paper is directional, you'll want to make sure that the design shows correctly when the DSP is turned on its long side.
  1. On the long side, score at 4", 5-3/4", 9-3/4" and 11-1/2".
  2. Rotate and score on the short side 1".
  3. Rotate the paper 180 degrees and score at 1-1/4"  (or, you can combine steps 3 and 4 by scoring at 1" and 4-3/4")
  4. Burnish on all the score lines.
  5. Remove both small rectangles.
  6. Mitre the 1/2" tab.
  7. Along the bottom edge (that's the long one that has the 1-1/4" wide score), cut on each vertical score line, making sure to mitre the two smaller flaps.
  8. Fold along the 1" score line to create the top of the bag. Re-burnish on your score lines, paying attention to the parts where the DSP is folded on itself.
  9. With the right side of the box face down (the print you want on the bottom part of the bag), fold the 1/2" tab toward you and qpply Sticky Strip or other adhesive. 
  10. Fold over on the middle score line so that the opposite edge meets the edge where the 1/2" tab is.
  11. If desired, apply a little glue to the open ends of the folded down top piece.
  12. Apply adhesive to the two small bottom flaps, fold one of the larger flaps on, and adhere the other flap with adhesive, forming the closed bottom of the box.
  13. Insert the 1-3/4" x 4" piece of Evening Evergreen to strengthen the bottom of the box. You may glue it down if desired.
  14. Stamp (and/or emboss) an image or sentiment on the large scrap of Evening Evergreen, die cut and adhere to the front of the bag with dimesionals.
  15. Insert goodies into gussetted cello bag, tie with the Evening Evergreen ribbon and pop it into the box bag.
Watch the video to see how quick and easy this is!

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. Lay the four lengths of Linen Thread next to each other to cover the area where the DSP meets the Basic White in the middle of the card. Adhere on back side with tape or desired...
