Mini Gift Bag Box

Today I am casing a little project created by Sam at pootles.co.uk. I've change the dimensions just a little. She creates some really cute little boxes and projects.

Sometimes we have these little gifts to give but have a hard time finding something to wrap them in. This is one solution.

This little Mini Gift Bag Boxes can hold lipsticks, chapsticks, bath balms, mini candles, 2 nail polishes, a variety of treats, and more. They are quick and easy to make. if you need to make a bunch of them and save time you can add the DSP to just the front of the box. I didn't make a little tag for this project, that will be up to you to make on your own.

So, here is the tutorial video on how to make these cute little minis.

 Cute, easy, solves the packaging problem you might have. I could also see a nice big basket full of these for Christmas.

Measurements:

Cardstock - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"

• with 8 1/2" across the top, score @ 2 5/8", 4", 6 5/8" & 8"
• turn with 5 1/2" across the top, score @ 1 3/8" & 4" (the left is the bottom of the box)

Designer Series Paper

• 2 @ 2 1/2" x 2 1/2"
• 2 @ 1 1/4" x 2 1/2"
• (or if mass producing just cut for the front - 1 @ 2 1/2" x 2 1/2")

Listen carefully to the instructions for the creation of this project as per tutorial

So below are all the products used to make these adorable Mini Gift Bag Boxes.

Using the Scallop Top Tag Punch On A Card

Hi Everyone!

If my back doesn't get better soon, this may be the last project posted for a little while. I made these recent projects you've been seeing the last few days a while ago and have been able to work on posting them here and there.

I had fun trying to come with something a little different for a card. So, here goes.

You can see here, that I stamped directly onto the Dazzling Diamond Glimmer paper. I then added a snowflake stamped on vellum, and cut out. I positioned exactly over a snowflake stamped onto the Glimmer paper. I just love that Soft Sky 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon!

Can you see that these card tabs are not attached to the card, but rather are part of the card base?

How did I do that? Watch the tutorial video to find out how, and  few other ideas to use this kind of card for.

Here are a couple more photos of the card I made.

Measurements

Cardstock Base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" - Score as per video instructions
Front Panel - 2 9/16" x 5 3/8"
Inside Panels - 1 @  2 9/16" x 5 3/8", & 1 @ 2 1/2" x 5 3/8"
Ribbon - 16"

 Have some fun making your own version of this card! See the products used for this card, below.

The Newborn King

Today I woke up to find a very thin layer of snow here in Victoria, BC. This used to be a rare occurrence, but it seems nearly every year of late, this happens once or twice a year. But it did remind me that Christmas is not far off.

I'm sharing with you today a card I made using "The Newborn King" stamp set. I don't have any Blendabilities yet, so how could I use this stamp? This is what I came up with.

 

You will note that by tracing "Glory" with Dazzling Details made the Mossy Meadows ink run. It had never done that before, so I was disappointed when it happened. You can see that on the So Saffron star it is fine.

This is what you see when you open the card.

First, I used a 1 3/8" punched circle scrap to lay over the nativity and with a sponge blended So Saffron ink around the outside of the circle. Once I was happy with the colour, I removed the circle and lightly blended the inside of the circle leaving the center untouched. Then came a light blending of Pool Party, and then Marina Mist.

Next, I took three different designs of green paper from Trim The Tree Designer pack, stamping the image on each. I cut out some of the treetops from each and paper pieced the stamped image.The star hanging, is the star from the stamp set "Festival of Trees" (stamped twice for front and back).

If you are going to paper piece, be sure that your image doesn't have a paper piecing section on the fold of the card like the section of tree you see on the fold.

 

 

Blues and silvers/grays, or blues and gold would look good too!

Measurements

Card
Naturals White - 4 1/4" x 11" - score @ 5 1/2"
Chocolate Chip - 4 1/4" x 11" - score @ 5 1/2" then turn cardstock to other side & score at 3" & 8"

First die cut your circle from the center before folding any scorelines. Using the Whisper White ink and the treetop part of the stamp, create a top and bottom border on the Chocolate Chip card interior piece. Then stamp your sentiment on the left panel.

Card front layers
Chocolate Chip - 5" x 3 3/4"
Cherry Cobbler - 4 7/8" x 3 5/8"
Naturals White - 4 3/8" x 3 1/8"

I found the Mossy Meadows ink looked too black, so I decided to second stamp with this colour and it looks more green. Create the border on the Naturals white piece with Mossy Meadows ink in the same manner as with the border on the Chocolate Chip piece but going around all four sides. Then stamp the sentiment, then the star with So Saffron.

The products used for this card can be found below.

Hope you are inspired to create cards like this one using whatever stamps you wish. And don't forget my Stampin' Up Give-a-way!

Have fun!

More Favor Boxes... Lindt Lindor Chocolates

One of my favorite chocolates are the Lindt Lindor Chocolate balls. I love how they melt in your mouth. They make a wonderful treat for party favours and such.

So look soon for a new creation using the 'All Is Calm' Specialty Designer Series Paper.

Completed this little box measures 4 1/4 x 1 1/4 x 1 1/4 and hold three of those lovely chocolates! You can of course make this for any kind of occasion!

Chirstmas Favor & Name Place Setting Card - Ghirardelli Chocolate Squares

It's hard to  believe that there are only 48 days until Christmas. With Holiday parties and Family Get-Togethers, we some times look for something different to create for those occasions. This project serves a duel purpose for such celebrations; a name place card and a treat favor.

I designed this to fit the 2" square Ghirardelli chocolates which in their wrapping measure 3"w x 2"h. The inspiration for this came from Sam at Pootles Papercrafting. I changed the size and design a little to accommodate these chocolates.

This design is a variation of the Tea Bag package and is very easy to create. Just trim the paper to the size, score, fold, tape, insert treat, and tie with ribbon. In the next photo you get a bit of a glimpse of the side view.

Oh, and for those that celebrate St. Nicholas Day (Dec. 6th) This is a great little package to create for some of those treats. Here is a quick tutorial on how to make this adorable little packet.

Paper -   8" x 3 3/4" (This size is designed to fit the packaged Ghirardelli Chocolate Squares)
Score with 8" across the top @ 2 1/4", 2 3/4", 3 1/4", 3 1/2", 4", 4 1/2", & 6 3/4"
Fold as shown in the video
Ribbon - approx 10" - 11"
Twine or Linen Thread
Bell (from craft store or $1 Store)
Your choice of stamps and ink colour (mine shown below)
