Alternative Lots To Love Box

I have another alternative for the Lots To Love Box framelits.  There are quite a few varieties out there.  Mine is very simple, and easy to make.  I dressed it up as a masculine gift.  Although after you look at it, think of a baby crib.  I cannot get that thought out of my head and will have to give that a try next.

Lots to Love Box Framelits, 145653

 

My little box fits four of the Merci Chocolates.  It is  made from one cutting of the Lots To Love Box.  To make the intended box you need to make two cuts with the framelits.  I used the True Gentleman Designer Series Paper and the Tailored Tag Punch to create the belly band for my treat holder.  The sentiment is from the Southern Serenade stamp set.

COLOR COMBINATION:

 

Directions:

  • Cut one of the Lots To Love Box
  • Cut off 1 1/4″ from the straight end of the box
  • Score at 5/8′ from the same end (straight end)
  • Fold and burnish on the score line, EXCEPT the one closest to the rounded end
  • Cut the flap pieces at the straight end to match the ones on the rounded end.
  • Tape box together.

 

  • Belly Band is 8 X 2, and scored at 2 78, 3 1/2, 6 1/2 ,7 1/8.
  • Fold and burnish the lines and dry fit it around the box.
  • Secure the ends on the back since the front decoration is not large enough to cover the seam.
  • Decorate as you like

 

I hope this is easy to understand.  If not, please do not hesitate to contact me.  I am definitely not my friend Julie DiMatteo when it comes to 3-D items!!

 

I hope you have an AWESOME rest of your day!

Happy Life !

I have done a little soft layering today.  A bit of a different approach for me.  I wanted this to be a softer card and it is that along with being just “less”.  So very different than my normal.

I really love this stamp set, Basket of Wishes.  So many good things come in baskets.  Especially back when I was a child.  And as I said earlier, I wanted this to be a little softer look.  So I went with the background stamp from Hello Friend, and then added the basket in front of it.  The succulents fit perfectly in the basket.  The fact that it is a photopolymer set is AWESOME !  I love how easy it is to layer with the see through photopolymer.

 

COLOR COMBINATION:

 

The soft suede makes the perfect color for the basket.  I then used the Stamp ‘n Write Markers in Crumb Cake, Pear Pizzaz and Wild Wasabi to color the basket and the  succulent plants.  Super Easy!!

Thank you for visiting today!  I hope you enjoyed this quick and simple card.

Time is running out to try the Paper Pumpkin for March!!  And since it is the 5th Anniversary of Paper Pumpkin, there will be a little gift in the box as well.  But you must be signed up by 11:59pm on the 10th to receive the March box.  I hope you will give it a shot.

For You!

Over the weekend I made a trip to Alabama with a group of the InKing Royalty Team Members to a Stampin’ Up! event.  We had a blast, got some great project ideas, and did a wonderful card swap.  So today I am sharing the card I made for the swap.  You know I like cards a little more on the simple side.  This one is that to a T!

Blooms & Wishes, 141784

 

If the stamped flowers look somewhat familiar, it is because I used them on a little different card last week.  You can see that post HERE.   This is such a great stamp set for so many reasons.  For me, it is mostly because it is just so easy.  You can do any color, any combination of the flowers, and have a really cute card made up pretty quickly.  I hope you will consider this stamp set to try yourself.

 

COLOR COMBINATION:

 

 

The only additions to my color combination is a little Calypso Coral for the daffodil centers and Enamel Dots for the Rich Razzleberry flower centers.  I had to give it a little bit of dimension. I think this card would work with so  many different sentiments.

Thank you for visiting today!  I appreciate you doing so and I love to read your comments.  The supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the post.

 

SPECIAL NOTE: With Sale-A-Bration, it is the perfect time to consider becoming a Paper Pumpkin customer.  Or at least try a one month subscription.  With the $20.00 price (and the 5th Anniversary FREE gift enclosed) you are almost halfway to a FREE SAB product.  Add the cost of the Blooms & Wishes stamp set (21.00) a package of card stock and an ink pad…..and you have the $50.00 needed to get a free item.  A super deal!!  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Another Good Day

I really love the cute stamp set “A Good Day”.  I see this one hanging around my house even after it retires.  There are so many cute little pieces that I tend to use one here and there.  Today I have used the special little bunny posing for his picture to be made.  At least that’s what I see him doing. 🙂

Another of my favorite stamp sets is one of the Host set from the Occasion Catalog – Yay You!  I know you have seen this sentiment on a couple of my cards.  It  is definitely a favorite.  I need it as my motto!!

I used a variety of products to get this cute card.  They will all be listed in the supply list, but the most visual is the Basket Weave Embossing Folder.  Oh My!!  The detail in this folder is Awesome!  I am so happy that it will be carrying over to the next Annual Catalog.  Although why wait to purchase it in June, when you can get it FREE now!  Yes, it is one of the second release Sale-A-Bration items.

Thank you for stopping by today!  I really appreciate it and your comments.  If you have any questions, just send me a message or ask in comments and I will get back to you.  Have an Awesome rest of your day!!

Thinking of You

I have another simple card today.  There are so many beautiful Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! catalogs.  I chose one to color with the Stampin’ Blends.  It is quite relaxing to color and the bonus is to then make a sweet card from your efforts to share.

 

Heartfelt Blooms, 147202

 

I have a little different color combination on this card.  I used Calypso Coral and Island Indigo.  The Island Indigo pairs wonderfully with the Calypso Coral and I wanted something other than Old Olive from the stems.  Just a change of pace was what I was feeling, with the added bonus that it emphasizes the dragonfly more.

The gorgeous ribbon is one of the FREE Sale-a-bration items.  Thee is a three pack of shimmery ribbon.  It is all beautiful.  Remember that we are heading into the last month of SAB !!

This could not be an easier card to make.  I colored, layered, added a ribbon and sentiment, finished!

Thank you for visiting today.  I very much appreciate you checking out my cards.  I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day!
