October Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop

 



Hello Stampin' Friends. Welcome to the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop. If you arrived here via the hop, you are currently visiting Susan Edwards from the southeastern United States. The theme of this month's blog hop is Tool Time. Today I will be sharing a Christmas Gift Box I created using Stampin' Up! tools!

First, I LOVE this box. It was designed by Krista Frattin from The Crafty Carrot Co. and shared during "free August". 

To create the basic box, you will need two sheets of Stampin' Up! card stock, the paper trimmer, and the score board. 

For the box inside you will need a piece of 11 X 7 inch. Score all four sides at 1-inch and again at 2-inches. Trim corners as illustrated below.


Fold the scored pieces inward, gluing the tabs between the layers of the 1-inch sides. You will have a tray-like structure.

For the outside of the box, you will need a 9 1/4-inch x 7 inch piece of card stock. Score the long side at 1-inch, 2-inches, 5 1/8-inches, and 6 1/8-inches. Fold on each of the score lines. 


Glue the tray piece in place between the 2" score and the 5-1/8 inch score. The outer box wraps around the interior "tray", with 1-inch and the second 3 1/8-inch sections creating the "lid". The inside will hold a Cadbury size chocolate bar (larger than a Hershey bar).


I used the Gingerbread and Peppermint bundle to decorate my box. I chose the snowflake cookie dies. In addition to the thin dies used, I also use the Stampin' Cut and Emboss machine, another great Stampin' Up! tool! 

I finished my card with a tag made with Stampin' Up!'s Tailored Tags and I added the word Chocolate from the "Nothing's Better Than" bundle.

I have crafted a dozen of these boxes for my upcoming Christmas Craft Show. I found the Cadbury bars for a good price each at Target!


Thank you for hopping by today. I hope that you have enjoyed the Blog Hop and that you are inspired to use your Stampin' Up! tools to create your own masterpieces!

Great Tiding Step-fold Card


Hello Stampin' friends. Today I have a special Step-fold card to share with you, one I created using the *NEW TODAY* bundle, Great Tidings. In case you are unaware, today is the first day of Stampin' Up!'s new mini catalog, the August - December mini. Or as I like to call it, the fall and holiday mini catalog. There are a plethora of gorgeous stamps, papers, trims, etc. in the new catalog, and one of those is this bundle.

To create my card you will need:

Blackberry Bliss Cardstock – 2 pieces

1. 10 ½ inches x 4 ¼ inches 

Score the long side at ½ inch, 1 ¾ inches, 3 ¾ inches, and 5 inches

2. 4 5/8 inches x 3 ½ inches

Score the longer side at ½ inch and 1 ¾ inches


Rainbow Glimmer Paper – 3 pieces

1. 4 x 3 ¼ inches

2. 4 x 1 ¾ inches

3. 4 x 3 ½ inches


Gold Specialty Paper 

1. Cut out the Moroccan doorway - 4 x 3 ½ inches

2. Cut three of the three petal leaves - scrap

3. Cut out the Bethlehem star - scrap


Directions:

1. Stamp, color, and cut out your Magi. Set them aside.

2. Glue the Moroccan doorway cut to the front of the 4 x 3 ½ inch glimmer paper. Use scissors and your paper trimmer to trim the gold to fit the 3 ½ inch wide glimmer paper. Use your scissors to trim the top of the doorway and the glimmer paper, leaving a border the same width as the sides.


3. Glue the 4 x 3 ¼ inch glimmer paper ¼ inch down from the top edge of the unscored end of the 10 ½ inch piece of blackberry bliss.



4. Burnish the score lines on the long piece. Glue the ½ inch scored tab to the back of the card.



5. Glue the 4 x 1 ¾ inch strip of Glimmer paper to the front of the folded box.

6. Glue the Moroccan doorway to the bottom edge of the smaller piece of Blackberry Bliss, placing the bottom of the doorway even with the bottom edge of the paper.



7. Glue the bottom edge of the smaller piece of blackberry bliss (with the doorway) to the front of the card, 3/8 inches up from the fold line.

8. Apply glue to the ½ inch flap on the smaller piece of blackberry bliss. Flatten the card and glue down the edge where it rests against the card when flattened. 





9. Apply the Magi and the gold leaves. Stamp your sentiment – I used versamark ink on black cardstock with gold embossing powder.


I hope my tutorial made sense to you. I will tell you that the shorter piece of Blackberry bliss cardstock has a unique measurement for this version of the card. That is because of the doorway. 

I hope this was inspirational for you. Thanks for stopping by today.

Blog Hop with Gratitude


Hello friends. Today I am joining the Monthly Team Blog Hop with Kylie's Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Training Program. We are a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from all of over the world who are part of Kylie's training group. If this is your first visit to my blog, welcome!! 

I jumped right in to this blog hop with this happy blue bird card I created using the Birds & Branches Bundle found in the 2020-2021 Annual catalog. I chose an almost monochromatic palette for this Z fold card. 


This card showcases on of our new in colors, Misty Moonlight. The base card and the circle die were created with Misty Moonlight. The Z-fold design card features an attached inner card with three decorated panels, the front, the middle, and the inside back of the card. The inner card is made with Night of Navy card stock. On the Whisper White front I featured  the circle die from the bundle, cut out with a scalloped circle die, the bird's nest, and mama bird watching over her eggs. 

The bird stamp is a two step stamping process. I used two colors of ink, Misty Moonlight and Seaside Spray.  


The middle panel in the card features the same Flowers for Every Season designer series paper used on the back area of the Z-fold, and another sweet little blue bird.


The back inside panel again features a sweet blue bird, but also the follow up sentiment which coordinates with the Thank You phase stamped on the front of the card.


To complete the card I embellished with little light blue flowers accented with in-color enamel dot Bumblebee centers and a double ribbon bow.  



Below you will find the links to continue on the blog hop. Thanks for hopping by and I hope to see you again soon.
