I am sorry for posting the winner of my blog candy so late in the day.  I got on the computer very early this morning to write my post and I was having server problems.  After an hour I gave up so I am just now back on the computer!

Several days ago I shared a pen that I filled with my favorite Stampin’ Up! paper.  Today I’m sharing a way to take that pen and transform it into a gift, Stampin’ Up! style! Watch the video below and see how to put the gift together!

Here’s a picture of the box closed (sorry it’s such a poor photo).  It’s hard to tell but I used the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper for both the front of the case and the small notepad – much prettier in person.

You can see the small notepad post HERE and the pen post, HERE.

Have a wonderful weekend!  Be sure to check back on Monday!! I’m celebrating an anniversary and there just might be some blog candy!  🙂

Pretty Pens

I love office supply stores and always gravitate towards the pens and paper!  I have no business going anywhere near the pen/pencil department as I have WAY too many pens for one household but that never stops me.  I especially love it when I can combine one of my favorite Stampin’ Up! packages of paper with a pen!  That’s just what I’ve done for today’s post.  Watch the video below to see how easy it is to transform a boring pen into a pretty pen!

Sour Cream Containers

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!

Quick and Easy Box

2 4 6 8 box IMG_4016

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.

2 4 6 8 box step 1

On the short side, score it at 2 inches.

2 4 6 8 box step 2

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.

2 4 6 8 step 3

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″.

2 4 6 8 #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.

2 4 6 8 last step

When putting the box together, I like to adhere the little flap to the opposite side first.  Then fold the flaps in!

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).
