3D Projects

We’re getting close to the end of our 30 Days of the New Catalog! For Day 27 I am sharing another treat package for you. This is the Delicate Details Treat Box that can be found on page 140 of Stampin’ Up!’s new catalog.

This lacy-looking box measures 3-3/4″ x 5-1/4″ x 2″ and is food safe. So pretty!

Thank you Peggy Noe for sharing this box. Peggy used a Blending Brush to apply a color to the front of the box. I love Blending Brushes to apply ink to my projects. They make it easy to get a nice soft coverage of color on your project.

Are you adding this pretty treat package to your wish list? Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

We’re getting down to the wire. Christmas is less than two weeks away! Yikes! Are you ready? I’m not! Don’t worry though. I’ve got you covered with a couple of easy, yet cute projects for the last two weeks of my Twelve Weeks of Christmas.

This week I have an easy-peasy gift/treat bag/box. You can wrap a small gift in it or fill it with treats. All you need to make it is a 6″ x 6″ piece of designer paper and whatever you want to decorate it with!

Isn’t it cute? I call it a bag/box because the top is like a bag and the squared bottom is like a box! Here’s a different angle of it:

To make this little bag/box you just need to do a little scoring, make a few snips and add a little strong adhesive like Tear & Tape or Seal +. Below you can see the pattern of where to cut and score. You can find complete instructions with photos here.

Give this fun little gift/treat bag/box a try. I may even use it for my Christmas table! Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping! Merry Christmas!

This week’s project is fun and adorable. It’s perfect for kids and adults. It’s also quite versatile. What is it? It’s a cute little Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer box!

I have to thank fellow demonstrator, Sue McDonald, for this idea. I saw it online and knew I had to make one! It was pretty easy to make once I figured out what size circle punches to use.

Rudolph’s nose is punched from a Red Foil Sheet with a 3/4″ Circle Punch. The whites of the eyes are punched with a 1/2″ Circle Punch and the black portion of the eyes are punched with a 1/4″ Circle Punch.

The head is die cut with the 3rd smallest Layering Oval Die. I actually die cut two of them so I could layer the antlers between them. The antlers are punched using the Sprig Punch. I also cut two of them and adhered them together just to make them a little sturdier.

You can find the complete directions to make this cute little guy here. When you view the directions you’ll notice that I used Adhesive Sheets on many of the pieces. It made it so much easier adhering things together, especially the eyes. I did use a Stampin’ Dimensional to adhere Rudolph’s nose.

This festive little box has many uses. You can see from the photo that I added a ribbon which makes it the perfect little ornament. Since it’s a box you could even add a little treat to it before hanging it on your tree. If you don’t want to hang it on your tree just leave the ribbon off and it will make the perfect little treat box for your Christmas table.

Below you can see a photo of the back of the box…..you don’t want to forget Rudolph’s little tail! 😀

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Are you looking for a quick and easy treat holder for your St. Patrick’s Day party, Easter, graduation or any other occasion?  Here is a quick and easy treat holder for you.  My friend Jan made these for our Stamp Camp guest back in January.

Start with a 1 1/2″ x 6″ piece of designer series paper.

Punch one end of the strip of designer paper with the Banner Triple Punch (#138292 $23).

With the side of the paper you want covering the Hersey Nugget facing up, place a piece of Tear & Tape about 1/2″ – 3/4″ from the straight end.  Turn the paper over.

With the side of the paper that you want showing on the flap facing up, place your Hershey Nugget on the straight end.  Roll the paper and candy once so that the Hershey Nugget is upside down.  Remove the backing from the Tear & Tape and roll the paper and candy one more time so that the Hershey Nugget is right side up again.

If desired, heat emboss a sentiment on the pennant flap as pictured above.  Jan used the retired stamp set, Teeny Tiny Wishes for her “Happy St. Patrick’s Day”.  There is a “Have a Lucky Day” sentiment in the new Itty Bitty Greetings (W-#146664 $48 C-#146667 $36).

Tie a bow with coordinating ribbon and attach to the top of the Hershey Nugget with a Mini Glue Dot.

That’s it!  Quite easy!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Samplers are so much fun. They are the perfect home decorating item for seasons or holidays.  I’ve seen a ton of them made with the All My Love Suite and want to share some of them with you today.

I don’t make them myself very often but I love looking at them.  I’m inspired to make my own samplers but I don’t seem to find the time to get them made.  That is why I appreciate all of my fellow demonstrators who share their creations online!  🙂

Aren’t these great?  So many different ideas!  I’m not sure where I’d even begin….

Well, I will admit I did buy a frame the other day but that’s as far as I got.  These samplers I’m sharing with you look like they are 12″ x 12″.  I only bought a 10″ x 10″ frame so mine will have to be totally different.  IF I do get one made I will definitely share it with you.  🙂

I hope these have inspired you!  Have fun creating!  Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

As I mentioned yesterday, February and Valentines Day are all about LOVE!  As paper crafters we’re all about making cards but it’s also fun to make 3D projects.

At Christmas time my demo friend Jan gave me a fun little banner like this one that said “SNOW” and had a large snowflake for the “O”.  I had just received my pre-order of items from the Occasions Catalog and the Sale-a-bration brochure and my little brain went into overdrive!  I just knew I had to make one of these for Valentine’s Day using the GORGEOUS Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheets that you can get as a FREE Sale-a-bration item and the Be Mine Framelits.

This turned out just as cute as I imagined!  I can’t wait to display it!

This little LOVE banner was pretty easy to make.  You should start with a 12″ x 12″ piece of Whisper White cardstock.  (I say “should” because the cardstock I had was only 11 7/8″ x 11 7/8″ so I had to improvise.)

Cut a 12″ x 3″ piece of Whisper White cardstock.  Score at 3″ and 9″.  Flip it over and score at 6″.  Fold along score lines.  You want the outside score marks to be valley folds and the inside score mark to be a mountain fold.

(Improvisation:  Start with an 8 1/2″ x 11″ piece of cardstock (I used Thick Whisper White for a little more support).  Cut a piece that is 3″ x 9″ and a piece that is 3″ x 3 1/2″.  Score the large piece at 3″.  Flip cardstock over and score at 6″.  Score the small piece at 3″.  You want your score marks folding as mentioned in the step above.  Once you have your pieces situated this way you will adhere the 1/2″ section of the small piece to the back of the right side of the large piece.  If you look closely at the picture above you can see that I did this.)

Cut 4 –  2 3/4″ x 2 3/4″ pieces of Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheets and adhere to the four sections of the scored Whisper White cardstock.

Cut 4 – 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ pieces of Whisper White cardstock.  Run them through the Big Shot with the Subtle Embossing Folder (my favorite!) for a little texture.  Adhere them to the squares of Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheets.

Figure out how large of pieces of Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheets you want to use to die cut the letters and heart and adhere pieces of Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets to the back.  (You can use regular adhesive on the letters but the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets make adhering the heart SO much easier.)  Die cut the “L”, “V” and “E” and the intricate heart from Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheets.  Adhere these pieces to the embossed squares of Whisper White cardstock.

To finish off the banner I die cut the little piece with all the little hearts on it and adhered some of the hearts to each of the letter squares.  Don’t worry….I didn’t waste the outline of the little hearts….I used it on a card!

These little banners would make wonderful gifts.  I may have to make some more of them!  Of course if you are going to give this as a gift how do you present it?  Tie a ribbon around it of course and add one of the many little hearts that you just die cut to make the banner!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

I was in a quandary about what to post today and then I remembered that it was Thursday!  How about a Throwback Thursday post?  So, I  scrolled through all of the photos I’ve posted to my blog and came up with this 8″ x 8″ shadowbox that I made way back in 2012.  In fact, the post was on December 9th so this is just about 6 years ago exactly!  Ha!

How many of you remember the Scentsational Season stamp set and the coordinating Holiday Collection Framelits?  What’s scary is that I still have this bundle of products!  Seriously!

Not all of the images in the shadowbox are from that stamp set and framelit set.  There must have been an ornament stamp set with framelits or a punch.  I know the mittens were punched because I still have the punch!

The green color is Gumball Green and I think the red is Cherry Cobbler.  Too fun!

I think I need to make another shadowbox of some sort.  Hmmm…..

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

When my friends and I attend Stampin’ Up! events we like to make treats for each other.  We don’t necessarily make them for the treats they contain but we love to make the holders for the treats!

This fun and simple treat holder was made my downline Janet.  ADORABLE!  So simple!  A cello bag, a couple of circle punches, a piece of ribbon and some Goldfish crackers with Mickey ears in them!  She found the crackers at the local grocery store.  Too fun!  You can’t go to Orlando without thinking about Mickey!

My friend Laura brought us these yummy cookies that a friend of her’s made and decorated.  Aren’t they gorgeous?  Another amazing treat!  “Love It, Live It, Share It” is Stampin’ Up’s theme this year.  Laura shared these fun cookies in one of Stampin’ Up! Pizza Boxes that she decorated.  It fit perfectly!

Jan brought us cookies too in this fun treat bag to remind us to celebrate Stampin’ Up!’s 30th Anniversary.

Aren’t my friends creative?  It’s always fun to see what kind of treats they bring to Stampin’ Up! events.  Of course that puts the pressure on me to come up with a fun idea or two.  I did bring a couple of treats for my friends.  I can’t decide though whether to share them with you this week or save them and surprise you sometime.  Hmmm…

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
