Make a Loaded Envelope

I wanted to bring a special gift to my teammates attending the recent Stampin’ Up! OnStage convention, and this loaded envelope project is what I decided on. I found the pattern from fellow Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Diane Evans.

The envelopes are straightforward to assemble using a 12″ x 12″ piece of Designer Series Paper and can be embellished to suit any occasion. Here is an Easter-themed envelope that I made during my Monday Mini Livestream this week. Instead of a bookmark, I inserted a gift card tag into the pocket on the envelope. I plan on loading the envelope with a package of chocolates.

Make an Irresistible Blooms 3-D Flowering Watering Can

I made these sweet Irresistible Blooms 3-Dimensional Watering Can party favors for the attendees of my June Card Parties. I used the Irresistible Blooms Bundle and coordinating Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper to make the cans. The dies from the Irresistible Blooms Dies cut images from the paper so the only stamping I did on this project was the “hello” sentiment tag. I love it when Stampin’ Up! does that!

Cutting & Scoring Guide

  • Watering Can Base = 8-1/2″ x 4-1/2″ piece of cardstock scored at 1/2″, 1-1/2″, 4-1/2″ and 5-1/2″ on the 8-1/2″ side. Scored at 1″ on the 4-1/2″ side.
  • Watering Can Spout = two 2-1/2″ x 3/4″ pieces of cardstock.
  • Watering Can Side Handle = two 3″ x 2″ pieces of cardstock.
  • Inside Platform = 4″ x 1/2″ scored at 1/2″ on both ends.
  • Watering Can Top Handle = 8″ x 1/2″

DIY Tutorial: How to Make a Lined Picnic Basket Party Favor for Mother’s Day

I’m making these cute lined picnic basket party favors for my Mother’s Day brunch.

I’ve made these types of baskets before but have never lined them. The Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up! looks like a sweet fabric liner inside the basket. I can’t wait to find something delightful to fill the picnic baskets with.

Here is a better view of the inside of the basket:

I will admit that the cutting and scoring of the designer series paper was a bit tricky. A Simply Scored board will be your best friend. Watch the video tutorial below for step-by-step instructions to make the lined picnic basket party favor.

I created this template with the measurements and hope you find it helpful.

Cutting & Scoring Guide

  • Line the top and bottom corner of a 6″ x 6″ piece of designer series paper with the 5″ groove of the Simply Scored board. Score at 2-1/4″, 4″, 6″, and 7-3/4″.
  • Rotate designer series paper 45° lining up the top and bottom corner of the designer series paper with the 5″ groove of the Simply Scored board. Score between the center horizontal score lines at 3-3/4″ and 6-1/4″.
  • Measure 1″ from 4″ and 6″ score lines and make a tic mark as shown on the diagram. Make a cut from the tic marks to the first intersection of score lines as shown on the diagram.

Make a Gift Bag with a Belly Band

I made this sweet little gift bag during today’s Make-it-Monday Livestream. It’s the perfect size for tucking in some sweet treats or a gift card.

I used the Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up! to make the bag. The sentiment I stamped onto the tag is one I’ve used over and over again this Spring. It comes from the Framed Florets stamp set.

The gift bag measures 3-3/4″ wide by 2″ deep. I’ve gusseted the sides and created a flap to close the bag. A 12″ x 1-1/4″ strip of designer series paper keeps the bag closed.

Make an Easter Bunny Pocket Treat Holder

Today’s Make-it-Monday project is this Easter-themed treat holder. It’s a mini pocket that the cute, Ghirardelli Chocolate Bunny candies can be tucked inside. I was inspired to make these treat holders by a fellow Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, In the Pink, Designs by Cathryn.

I have prepared a step-by-step project tutorial for this project that includes cutting and scoring diagrams. The .pdf is ready to download and print for your personal use.

Today was a true Monday and I had terrible technical difficulties before going live for today’s Livestream. Fortunately, my fix for everything technical – restart all devices – worked and I was able to go on and demonstrate how to make the Easter Bunny Pocket Treat Holders.

Make Three Quick & Easy Valentine’s Day Treat Holders

Valentine’s Day is just a few days away and I have three quick and easy Valentine’s Day treat holders to share with you.

I used the Peekaboo Treat Bags from Stampin’ Up! for the first Valentine’s Treat Holder. After adhering two strips of the Country Floral Designer Series Paper to the top and bottom of the bag, I added a sentiment tag. The tag is made with the Heart Punch Pack and then embellished with die-cuts from the Share a Milkshake dies.

The second quick and easy Valentine’s Treat Holder is this cute chocolate-topped ladybug. I used the Hello Ladybug Bundle from Stampin’ Up! as the base for a heart-shaped Dove chocolate.

The final quick and easy Valentine’s Treat Holder I’m sharing with you today is this wrapped Hershey’s Chocolate Nugget. It’s a 1″ x 8-1/2″ strip of Country Floral Designer Series Paper wrapped around the chocolate. I embellished it with a stitched circle die-cut topped with heart die-cuts.

Make a Dollar Tree Valentine Apothecary Jar

Today’s project is a fun, Valentine Apothecary Jar that I made using supplies from Dollar Tree. I purchased these small, plastic mason jars at my local Dollar Tree. I have also seen plastic apothecary jars in the Dollar Spot at Target which would be perfect for this project.

Make these easy jars for table favors, home decor, and coworker gifts. Use different colors for the embellishments and they would be beautiful for a wedding shower. I plan on using them as decoration on my treat table at my Galentine’s Card Party. If you’re local to the Kansas City area we would love to have you join us.

Make a Valentine’s Treat Box

We’re already in the middle of January so it’s not too soon to start making Valentine projects. The sweet Valentine’s Treat Box project I’m sharing today is a quick and easy craft to put together.

The Valentine’s Treat Box is 2-3/4″ wide, 1-1/4″ deep, and 2-1/4″ tall. I was able to fit four Ghirardelli chocolates in the box. That’s a perfect sweet treat for Valentine’s! There are many occasions to gift this Valentine’s Treat Box. I think it would make a lovely teacher gift, coworker gift, book club treat, or table favor at your Galentine’s party!

I couldn’t decide if the Valentine’s Treat Box needed a handle or not so I made one of each. Which one do you prefer?

The Valentine’s Treat Box started with a box I made using Kraft Paper. I then chose the Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up to wrap around the box. Finally, I used the Country Bouquet Bundle to embellish the front of the box.

Here is another project I made using the bundle. You can view it HERE.

Cutting & Scoring Diagram

Score a 5-3/4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Kraft cardstock at 5-3/4″ x 5-1/4″ at 2-1/4″ and 3-1/2″ on the 5-3/4″ side. Score at 1-1/4″ and 4″ on the 5-1/4″ side.

Framed & Festive 3-D Christmas Tree Treat Box

We’re on the countdown to Christmas this week but it’s not too late to make something special for your friends and family. Today’s project is this 3-D Christmas Tree treat box.

The tree-shaped treat box can be embellished with whatever you have in your stash. It’s also great to use up your scraps of Christmas-patterned paper. For my treat holder, I used the Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper and kept the sentiment simple with a stamped Noel from the Framed & Festive stamp set on a die-cut circle. I’m usually a more-is-more kind of girl but sometimes simple is better.

To create the “frame” for the Christmas tree start with a 3″ x 10-1/4″ piece of cardstock. Score at 1″, 3-1/4″, and 6-3/4″ on the 10-1/4″ side. Score it at 3/8″ x 3/8″ on both edges of the 3″ side. Fold and burnish all score lines then trip per photo.

Make a Framed & Festive Pop-Up Gift Card Holder

Gift cards are fantastic, especially for those hard-to-buy-for people on your Christmas list! Today’s project is an easy pop-up gift card holder made using the Framed & Festive stamp set and Double Oval Punch from Stampin’ Up!

The pop-up pocket in the card is simple to achieve but elevates the holder a bit. I used one of my favorite prints from the Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper pack and created a belly band to keep the holder closed. Finally, I embellished the belly band with Gold Shimmer ribbon and an oval tag I stamped with a sentiment from the Framed & Festive stamp set.

The Shaded Spruce card base measures 4-1/4″ x 7-3/8″ and is scored at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2″ on the 7-3/8″ side. The Designer Series Paper insert measures 4″ x 9-5/8″ and is scored at 1-3/4″, 4-1/2″, 5-3/4″ and 7″ on the 9-5/8″ side. The two remaining pieces of Designer Series Paper for the outside flaps of the gift card holder measure 4″ x 2-1/2″ and 4″ x 1-1/2″. For complete directions watch this video tutorial:
