If you have never made a sour cream container before, you need to give it a try! They are so quick and easy to make! Pop a few treats inside and you’ll make someone’s day!
I made mine in two different sizes. The smaller one uses a piece of DSP measuring 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″. The larger one uses a piece that measures 5-1/4″ x 6-1/2″. You aren’t limited to these two sizes, experiment and try different sizes!
The Designer Series paper I used is a Sale-a-bration freebie called Best Day Ever. Tomorrow is the LAST day to receive this paper FREE with a $50 order! I used a crimper on the ends of the Calypso Coral sour cream container. Stampin’ Up! no longer carries this product but they are easy to find. And it really is just as cute without the crimping.
Watch the video below to see how to make your own sour cream container! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

A quick and easy box to make is the 2, 4, 6, 8 box. Its name comes from the fact that you score it at 2″, 4″, 6′ and 8″.
You’ll start with a sheet of cardstock measuring 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″. On the long side you’ll score at 2″, 4″, 6′ and 8 inches.
On the short side, score it at 2 inches.
Next, cut up from the bottom of the paper, up to the 2 inch score line. These will be your flaps. Cut the small section out from the bottom right.
The picture below shows the inside of the box. If you want a hole so that you can see inside the box, put it on the panel indicated. Also, place adhesive (I recommend Sticky Strip or Fast Fuse for all of the areas where I indicate adhesive) on the flap shown. Tip: If you want to add DSP to your box, do it now BEFORE you cut a hole in the panel. You should have (4) pieces of DSP that measure 1-3/4″ x 3-1/4″.
This is the outside of the box. I’ve shown which flaps you should add adhesive to as well as what order to fold the flaps in when you start assembling. I’ve done it so that the last flap will fold towards the back of the box.
When putting the box together, I like to adhere the little flap to the opposite side first. Then fold the flaps in!
If you have any questions, let me know!

Sale-a-bration
Sale-a-bration is almost over!! The last day to get FREE items with every $50 order will end on Tuesday, March 31st. You can add regular priced items, Clearance Rack, Weekly Deals and Digital products to your order to receive freebies! On the right hand sidebar of my blog, you can look through the Sale-a-bration catalog, Annual catalog, and the Occasions catalog. All items in the Sale-a-bration catalog are while supplies last. The items below are also available as freebies (while supplies last).
In Colors
I am going to stock up on Whisper White, Very Vanilla and other colors of cardstock that I use a lot so that I can receive another Sale-a-bration product. If you are in love with the 2013-2015 In Colors that will be retiring soon, I would buy your cardstock, stamp pads, reinkers, pens, and matching embellishments NOW. Last year when the Retiring List came out, the retiring In Color products sold out immediately. The colors that will be leaving us very soon are: Coastal Cabana ( I adore this color), Crisp Cantaloupe, Baked Brown Sugar, Pistachio Pudding and Strawberry Slush (another one of my favorites).
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me: tracy@stampingwithtracy.com
See you tomorrow!
As soon as I saw this box on Sam Donald’s blog (a fellow demo from the UK), I knew that I wanted to make it! Sam is a whiz at creating boxes. This one is so unique with all of its faceted sides – I love it!
I wanted to make the box in Coastal Cabana (did you know that this gorgeous color is retiring soon??) but you need to start with a 12 x 12 piece of cardstock and unfortunately I didn’t have it in that size. So, I used Crumb Cake and decorated it using the stamp set Flowering Flourishes and Coastal Cabana ink. For the top of the box I used a Sale-a-bration freebie, Sheer Perfection Designer Vellum Stack, a pack of beautiful 6 x 6 vellum. I punched two butterflies with the Elegant Butterfly punch and colored one with my Stampin’ Write marker. I used glue dots to adhere them together and finished them with rhinestones.
I shredded some Crumb Cake cardstock (I cut very fine slivers of the paper with my paper cutter) and put it inside the box along with an EOS lip balm (which matches Coastal Cabana so perfectly)! I use lip balm a lot and love this brand! I’m sure once I get my hands on some new flavors, there will be more projects using them!
FREE with a $50 order during Sale-a-bration – ends March 31, 2015
