First, Happy Birthday to my mother-in-law Judy! Come back in a couple days for a post with her birthday card!  Today I wanted to show you a CASE (copy and steal everything) card that I made recently, with the Oh, Hello stamp set and the lovely Print Poetry designer series paper stack.

Oh, Hello Thank You Cards Spring Mini Catalog

Once again, this simple card came together FAST – the hardest part was choosing the paper and colors to use!

I hope you enjoy this! The supplies are mainly from the Spring Mini catalog. Contact me today to get your own copy, or visit my Catalog Page for links to the online version!

April 2013 "Spring Into Summer" Class

I am REALLY excited about my next class, “Spring Into Summer,” coming on April 5, 2013! I hope you will join me to make the projects pictured AND one that isn’t (yet.)

Visit my information page for more details and for the link to register to attend.  I need to know if you are attending no later than March 27 in order to prepare for you.  If you cannot make the class on April 5, contact me about purchasing a kit I can send you after the class is over.

The projects for this class can be customized to meet YOUR needs – if you don’t need a “teacher” card, you can certainly adapt it for your favorite student.  If you don’t need a Mother’s Day card, you can make yours a birthday or thank you card.

Contact me with ANY questions you have about this class.

See you soon!

Sycamore Street Mini Gift Box

Make your own really cute mini box without a Big Shot or loads of measuring. Simply print an MDS2 template onto card stock, cut/score, and decorate; with free Sale-A-Bration goodies!  Don’t have MDS2?  Try it out for FREE for 30 days. I think you’ll love it!

SUPPLIES I USED

Stamp: Teeny Tiny Wishes (115370 W, 127802 C), Mini Project Box-Digital Download (120171)
Ink: Island Indigo Classic Stampin’ Pad (126986)
Paper: Pool Party card stock (122924), Island Indigo card stock (122923), Whisper White card stock (100730), Sycamore Street designer series paper (127540-available only with qualifying Sale-a-Bration order)
Tools & Accessories: MDS2 (130646), at home printer, Paper Snips (103579), Bone Folder (102300), Modern Label Punch (119849), Sycamore Street Ribbon & Button Pack (130812-available only with qualifying Sale-a-Bration order), SNAIL Adhesive (104332), Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430), Sticky Strip (104294)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Open MDS2 and select a new blank project, sized 8-1/2×11, portrait orientation
  2. Open the stamp brush set for Mini Project Boxes and drag over the first one, the square box.
  3. With page-bleed ON, make the box template as big as you want, without going over the margins. You can also leave the box exactly as it comes over, without any adjustments in size.
  4. Using your printer and Pool Party card stock, print this page.
  5. Cut along the solid lines on your box template with Paper Snips and then score your dashed lines. Then reinforce your scored lines with your bone folder. Fold the box so that the lines printed on the card stock end up on the inside of the box.
  6. Use a ruler to determine the size of the designer series paper and card stock panels you will need for your project. The measurement will vary depending on how you sized your box in MDS2. My front DSP piece is 2”x2”, for example, so my Island Indigo piece is 2-1/8”x2-1/8.”
  7. Adhere your designer series paper onto your side and back box panels with SNAIL Adhesive. Layer a square of DSP onto a slightly larger square of Island Indigo card stock and adhere to the front panel of your box using dimensionals.
  8. Slide the Island Indigo ribbon under the raised front panel of the box, tying into a knot.
  9. Stamp the “happy birthday” sentiment and punch it out with the Modern Label punch. Adhere to the front of your box using SNAIL Adhesive.
  10. Construct your box using Sticky Strip.
  11. Fill the adorable mini box with candy, jewelry, or other small gifts and give it to your loved one!

Happy Gift Giving!
