Today I’m featuring cards with measurements that I use over and over again and when using gorgeous Stampin’ Up! paper, it’s easy to create a beautiful card in just minutes. In the video below, I share the measurements I like to use and I make one of today’s cards!
I used the beautiful Painted with Love Designer Series Paper for all four cards that I’m featuring today. Did you know that on the back of each package of Stampin’ Up! paper you’ll find all the colors that coordinate (this info is also located in the catalog)? I wish I were good at knowing what colors coordinate with what, but I’m not. I really appreciate that the work is done for me and it’s one of the things I love about Stampin’ Up!

Today I’m sharing a card featuring the stamp set Beautiful Dayin the Occasions catalog. It comes with a huge butterfly and flower that are perfect for those of us who like to color! You can see a card I made with the flower image here.
I have many products from the Occasions Catalog on my card as well as one Sale-a-bration free gift. In addition to the Beautiful Day stamp set, here’s what else you can find in the Occasions Catalog:
The Sale-a-bration FREE item I used was the embossing folder from the Blossoming Basket Bundle which also includes the Blossoming Basket stamp set. Both are FREE with a $100 purchase. Click here to read more about Sale-a-bration (which ends on March 31, 2018).
I started by stamping the butterfly image using Memento Ink on Thick Whisper White and colored it in with Bermuda Bay and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. THEN I went in search of paper to use on the card. Next time I’d choose my paper first and then color the butterfly to match! It would be a lot easier going that path! I used Daffodil Delight and Bermuda Bay cardstock. I ran the large layer of Daffodil Delight through the Big Shot with the Basket Weave Embossing Folder. As I mentioned above, this is a FREE Sale-a-bration item. Just the embossing folder (not the stamp set) will be available in the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog. Why not get it free now??
I used the stamp set A Good Day for the sentiment using Memento Ink. It was cut out with the 1″ Circle Punch and layered using the 1-1/8″ & 1-3/8″ Scallop Punches. All of the card dimensions are listed below!
Whisper White: 11″ x 4-1/4″ score at 5-1/2″ scrap for sentiment
Bermuda Bay: 5-1/4″ x 4″ 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ 2-3/4″ x 3-1/4″ scrap for scallop circle
Daffodil Delight: 3-3/4″ x 5″ scrap for scallop circle
Thick Whisper White (for butterfly): 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″
Picture Perfect Party Designer Series Paper: 2-1/2″ x 3″
Today I’m sharing the card I made for my mother-in-law who had a birthday last week. I used the Blossoming Basket Bundle which includes the Blossoming Basket stamp set and the Basket Weave Embossing Folder. You can get this bundle FREE with a $100 purchase (before tax and shipping). Simply place an online order with $100 worth of Stampin’ Up! products and you’ll be prompted to enter in the bundle item number or any other free product you’d like! (Click hereto see all the free items to choose from). The Basket Weave embossing folder will be carrying over to the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog so why not get it free now, plus you’ll also receive the Beautiful Blossoming Basket stamp set!
I used our Stampin’ Blends to color the basket of flowers but you could also use watercolor pencils or Stampin’ Write markers. If it was stamped on Watercolor Paper, you could use ink and an Aqua Painter too. So many options!
The sentiment I used is included in the bundle but was cut out with a die from the Petals and More Thinlits Dies, available in the Occasions Catalog. I cut the same shape out again using Berry Burst so that I could layer it underneath the sentiment. I cut it in half as you can see in the picture below and attached a piece to both ends of the sentiment. Since the sentiment is half on, half off the layered pieces, I added several Stampin’ Dimensionals to the right side so it would be level.
The little butterfly is also included in the stamp set and after stamping and coloring it, I used my Paper Snips to cut it out and then attached it to the sentiment with a glue dot.

Today I’m sharing another Mini Pizza Box idea! If you missed my recent projects using these boxes you can see them here and here. Before I continue I want to say that the paper used on the box has retired and you can no longer purchase it BUT there’s so much ON the box and INSIDE that you can still get!
This gorgeous box and the cards inside were made by one of my team members, Linda Wheelock. When I received it in the mail, I was actually squealing because it was so, so pretty. Painted Harvest, a photopolymer stamp set, debuted in the Holiday Catalog and although it isn’t in a current catalog, it IS still available (#144783).
As I mentioned, Linda used retiring paper but the flower on the top of the box was stamped with the Painted Harvest stamp set and cut out. She poked two holes in the flower and inserted Linen Thread through them and then around the box. So clever! Wait until you see the 3″ x 3″ cards she made!
Aren’t they stunning!??? I love the color combinations Linda used and the linen thread bow accent she added to each card, such a pretty touch! I couldn’t be happier that this stamp set carried over because as you can see, you can create something absolutely gorgeous with it!
Since the paper on top of the box has retired, another option would be to use a combination of the leaf stamps in Painted Harvest as well as the one with five small dots and stamp them all over a piece of Whisper White and create your own background!
Last week I participated in the Glitter Queens Blog Hop. On the first Friday of each month we have a new theme and this month it’s Sale-a-bration, that time of year when you get free product with each $50 purchase. I love Sale-a-bration because I love Stampin’ Up! products and I love free!
If you missed my March Glitter Queens Blog Hop project, click here. In that post I also have a video where I do some heat embossing so if you’ve wanted to give it a try, take a look! For today’s project I thought I would continue the theme of Sale-a-bration and Mini Pizza Boxes.
The top of the box features the stunning Sale-a-bration gift, Springtime Foils Designer Series Paper. It mixes gold and silver together for a beautiful look. To add some color, I used my Pool Party Stampin’ Blends and wrapped the box up with 3/8″ Pool Party Shimmer Ribbon. To continue with the silver/gold theme, I punched a 1-3/8″ Silver Foil scallop, punched a 1-1/8″ scallop embossed with “Thank You” in gold and finished it off with a gold Metallic Enamel Shape. Definitely lots of shiny on the box!

It’s time for the Glitter Queens Blog Hop and this month it’s all about Sale-A-Bration, the most fun time of the Stampin’ Up! year! For every $50 you spend on Stampin’ Up! product, you can choose a FREE gift and there are 16 different choices this year (three of those items are at the $100 level). Click here to see all of your choices!
My project today uses two different Sale-A-Bration choices: Tutti-Frutti Cards & Envelopes and the Amazing You stamp set. Although I didn’t use it for my project, Amazing You coordinates with the Celebrate You Thinlits Dies, another Sale-A-Bration choice, free with a $100 purchase – and these dies will be in the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog. Why not get them free !!!!???
The actual box of my project was super easy because I used our Mini Pizza Boxes. They were first offered in the Holiday Catalog and are not in a current catalog but you can still purchase them! (#144645) They’re the perfect size for a gift card or a cookie, or jewelry . . . . . !
My video below will show how to make my project but here’s the measurements:
Tutti-Frutti Card Base: 3-1/8″ x 3-1/8″
Gold Foil: 3-3/8″ x 3-3/8″
Soft Sky Cardstock: scrap for scalloped oval
Whisper White: scrap for sentiment
Vellum: scrap for “rays”
I hope you’ll continue all around the hop! Next up is Dee!
If you get lost along the way, here’s everyone in the hop today!
Last week I shared a project each day using the Envelope Punch Board. I had a comment from Gina asking if I knew the measurements for a Lindt Truffle Bar and I actually had several in my pantry. So I got to work with my Envelope Punch Board and this is the box I created! I should have taken a picture of the candy beside the box but you can see it in the video below.
I used the gorgeous Springtime Foils Speciality Designer Series Paper, a Sale-a-bration FREE gift with a $50 purchase. It’s 12″ x 12″ paper and includes 12 sheets, 3 each of 4 designs. Each sheet is one sided and has beautiful foil designs in Gold, Rose Gold and Silver. Truly beautiful and FREE!
The sentiment is from another Sale-a-bration freebie called Happy Wishes, FREE with a $100 purchase. It includes 16 different stamps and is available in wood or clear. Because this paper is so pretty, I wanted the sentiment to match so I embossed it using Copper embossing powder. The Powder Pink scallop and sentiment oval were cut out using the Layering Ovals Framelits. The box is wrapped up with Whisper White 1/4″ Organza Ribbon, available in the Occasions Catalog.
You’ll find a complete supply list after the video and for more information or to place an order, simply click any of the images. If you have questions, let me know!
Sale-A-Bration will be over in a little over a month and there are over sixteen different FREE gifts to choose from! You can earn FREE product with every $50 you spend (before shipping and tax) and this year, spend $100 and you can pick two $50 items (Level 1) or choose one $100 item (Level 2). There are three Level 2 gifts: Blossoming Basket Bundle(stamp set & embossing folder), Celebrate You Thinlits Diesand Happy Wishesstamp set featuring 16 stamps. To see everything available, click here!
I used the Tutti Frutti Cards & Envelopeson my card today which are a Level 1 free gift (spend $50). The Lemon Lime Twist card worked perfectly as the base of my card and it was already scored so it was easy to fold in half. In the picture below, the top left color is Lemon Lime Twist although it looks yellow.
I stamped the flower from the stamp set Beautiful Dayonto Thick Whisper White using Memento Ink and colored it in with Stampin’ Blends: Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive and Daffodil Delight. The sentiment is also from Beautiful Day and was also stamped with Memento ink. I used a die from the Petals & More Thinlits to cut it out. I’m finding that I’m reaching for this particular die a lot and it fit today’s sentiment perfectly! I attached Stampin’ Dimensionals to the left side of the sentiment and in the middle. On the right hand side, the part that extends off of the black paper, I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. I originally used two regular dimensionals and it made the sentiment too high. Using two mini dimensionals did the trick.
I attached the piece of Whisper White with the flower to Basic Black, attached Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and attached it to my Tutti Frutti base.
All of the supplies I used are listed below and if you’d like to purchase any of them, simply click on any of the images. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask! Enjoy your day!
Today’s boxes were made using the Envelope Punch Board and the Petal Garden Designer Series Paper Stack, both in the Annual Catalog. I used my favorite scallop punches (1-1/8″ & 1-3/8″) from the Occasions Catalog and the stamp set Fruit Basket.
These boxes are really easy to make and two Ghirardelli Chocolates will fit inside for someone special. Watch the video below to see how I made them!
Welcome to Day 6 of my Punch Board Series! Today we’re making an easy-to-make Treat Pouch. It’s really just an envelope but when you add something inside with a little height, it creates a completely different look. The video below will show you how to make it!
To make today’s project, I used Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, You’re So Sweet, both from the Annual Catalog. Watch in the video how I only used part of the stamp, You’re So Sweet Enjoy a Treat.
Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper: 6″ x 6″
Punch and Score at 3″ on all sides
Whisper White (inside for stability): 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! All of the supplies I used are listed below. Have a great day!
Welcome to Day 5 of my Envelope Punch Board Series! All week long I’ve been sharing projects you can make with the Envelope Punch Board and today I’m sharing a teeny, tiny box. In the video below I show candy inside but really, anything small will fit such as jewelry, candles, etc.
I used Stampin’ Up! Marina Mist and Rich Razzleberry cardstock to make the actual box and then decorated it with Sweet Soiree Designer Series Paper. Because this paper is thick, you could make your box using this paper and then it would take away the need to decorate the panels.
The sentiment is from the stamp set Ready to Pop and I used all punches to cut and layer it (1″ Circle Punch, 1-1/8″ & 1-3/8″ Scallop Punches – see the supply list below). I love the sparkle that the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper gives the box!
I love hearing from you! If you make this project or are going to give it a try, please come back to this post and comment or send me an email (click email flower on the right hand side of my blog).
Use paper that measures 5″ x 5″
Score and punch the first side at 1-1/2″ and 3-1/8″. Then follow the score lines on the remaining sides.
Designer Series Paper to decorate the box: (2) 2′ x 1-3/8″, (2) 1″ x 1-1/2″, (1) 1″ x 2″
For orders over $150, please do not use the Host Code. At $150, you can start earning Stampin’ Rewards and you’ll be prompted when placing your order to select your free gifts! Plus, with a $150 order, you’ll also be able to pick out (3) Level 1 Sale-A-Bration gifts or (1) Level 1 & (1) Level 2 gift! Click here for more information about Sale-a-Bration!
Have a great day! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!
Welcome! It’s Day 4 of my Envelope Punch Board Series! I call today’s project “The Rolo Box” because I made it to fit a package of Rolo’s perfectly! Have you tried this candy? Delicious!
Both boxes were made using the Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper, a beautiful, thick paper, which makes it ideal for making boxes. To create the box, you’ll need a piece of paper that measures 6-3/8″ x 6-3/8″, the Envelope Punch Board, a paper trimmer, a pair of scissors and Tear and Tape. You’ll find the video for today’s project farther down in the post. (more…)
