Triangle Box - Great, Simple Packaging

 Triangle Boxes

Great Simple Packaging


These darling box designs were shared by my upline, Ronda Wade. She is amazing and full of fun ideas like this. Thanks Ronda for sharing.

The boxes are simple and easy to make. And Quick! Use your own ideas for decorating the boxes. Fill them with candy, gift cards, money, homemade cookies or candy! The only limit is your imagination.







Supplies are simple. You need cardstock, a cutting and scoring tool, a 1/8" hole punch (or similar) and ribbon. (oh and a pencil).  Add the bits and pieces to decorate the box. That's all that's required.

Here's a diagram of the box - click on the diagram to download a PDF version.

See my video below for a tutorial on how to assemble this box. But BEWARE - there is a goof in my video. The size of the cardstock used in this box is 4 1/4" x 11" as shown above (not 4 1/4" x 8 1/2" as stated in the video).


       Once filled - these boxes can be opened easily without destroying the box. 





Enjoy making these boxes? Be sure subscribe to my blog so you can see more ideas.

If you need supplies, you can purchase all of these materials at Stampin' Up! If you shop with me be sure to use my host code E3FGUJTK.

If your purchase is $50 in product or more, I'll send you a fun gift.

Faker Shaker - Wonderful Way to Use those Sequins

 Faker Shaker Cards

Shaker cards are simply FUN! BUT you might think they are just too complicated or bulky. Well, lets try a "Faker" Shaker Card and you'll see just how quick they are.


This card is definitely a gender neutral card - something we all need to have on hand. And it's a great way to use all the lovely sequins you have been hoarding.(You have haven't you?)



I have used the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Paper, on sale while supplies last, and the Sequins for Everything which is retiring this month.  These are placed inside a clear envelope and the envelope is folded tightly around the Designer series paper and fastened with scotch tape (yup - not even Stampin' Up!).


Then I used the Tear and Tape to fasten the shaker to the card base of Misty Moonlight cardstock. 

I topped this off with a small square of Night of Navy cardstock to create a backdrop for the word "Happy" which has been cut with the Well Written Dies. 
Add a stamped word birthday from the stamp set Many Mates.

Inside I created a simple pocket with designer series paper to hold a gift card, cash or a check.



DONE
SO QUICK and SIMPLE and FUN.
Wouldn't you love to get this card from a friend?

Check out this short video for my Christmas Faker Shaker card for more details on the assembly.


You can use the Feels like Frost Specialty paper (on sale now) to create great shaker cards - but so many more ideas fit this fun card.

Whisper White is Retiring

 Whisper White is Retiring

This is one of my all time favs - I'm sorry to see it go!
While Stampin up will be replacing this product with an equally awesome cardstock and envelopes called Basic White, I am sorry to lose an old time friend.
And sorry to know that a paper mill has gone out of business due to COVID-19 - Such a loss to everyone!

If you want to replenish your supply of cardstock, cards, or envelopes, be sure to do so early. Stampin' Up! is limiting orders to 2 of each item for each person. 

Check out this video to explain more


There may be a point in time when we have both products, Whisper White and Basic White OR when we have neither - I hope you will bear with us.

Tree Angle - Wonderful Stamp Set to Design With

 Tree Angle is a delightful Stamp Set

Designing with this set is so easy and if you want to combine it with the Stitched Triangles Dies, you will have a winning Combo. 

The best part the stamp is on SALE - 20% OFF 


The first example uses the stamp set with Magenta Madness, Gorgeous Grape and Bermuda Bay ink. I used the Stitched Triangle dies to cut out the stamped images.


The Magenta Madness 6x6 Designer Series Paper is the background for the whimsical trees along with a tiny gold cord bow and the Stitched Stars in Gold Foil.


The Second example uses just the greeting from the stamp set - I love the greetings for this set - great for cards and tags.


The background is done with Vellum that has been embossed with the Snowflake Embossing folder (its on sale too!! - 50% off).

Then the trees are cut from Real Red cardstock, Trim the Town Designer Series Paper (on Sale - 10% off) and Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper. But you can substitute any papers or cardstocks you want in this simple but stunning layout!

The third example uses the different designs in the Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper (on Sale 50% Off) along with the beautiful Gold Cards and Envelopes - the envelopes make this item super special.


I added a bit of Snowflake Splendor Ribbon (on sale for 50% off) for the elegant touch and stars from the Stitched Stars Dies.

All of these cards are quick and easy to assemble. I found that all of them were easy to design with this wonderful stamp set and dies. 
This stamp set will be your "go-to" for many years.

I would love to be your Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator
