Twick or Tweet Treat Box

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

Scalloped Box Treat HolderThis adorable treat holder is actually ‘no more’ as I type.  I left it on my stamping table and looks like some kids got into it.  My own kids know better, so I’m thinking neighbor kids…

Anyway, good thing I have a photo and it was super easy to make anyway!

The body of the box is the ‘Bag With Scallops’ (#114519) Sizzix XL Die without the sides attached and decorated with the Halloween designer paper ‘Cast a Spell’ (#115677).  It takes very little designer paper to dress this up and our Scalloped circle punch (#109043) fits nicely on top of the fold over scalloped flap.

The ghosts are from the Holiday Mini Catalog set ‘Twick or Tweet’ (#116497) and just outlined in Sahara Sand marker.

The Scalloped Oval punch (#114889)  fits nicely into the Wide Oval punch (#112082), don’t you think?  So well that three of my six projects last week for my Stamp a Stack used those two punches requiring me to order another pair of them.  Although everyone shared nicely I am happy to report!

Celebration of Sizzix Box #2

Friday, August 7th, 2009

Stampin' Up! Holiday Lounge from Sizzix Box #2 XL Die (click for larger image)HolidayLoungeBox#2OpenI am having a wonderful time in Salt Lake City and awards night last night was awesome!  Amanda C. and I walked across the stage as cruise achievers, woo hoo!

Well I am seeing some awesome ideas and will be sharing the pictures with you soon. But here’s a photo of a few of us walking across stage.

Carol Nordquist, Susy Miller, Amanda Coughlin & Me walking across stage for Cruise Achievers!!!

So, this Sizzix XL Die ‘Box #2′ has to be the absolutely *easiest* stinkin’ box to make!

This quick box is just Taken With Teal cardstock (6 x 11 inches) and a strip of the Designer Series paper ‘Holiday Lounge’ (#115676).  In fact it is one 1 1/2 inch strip of trees that I added some *bling* to.  The 5/8 inch white satin ribbon (#114616) is extremely elegant as a finishing touch that is secured onto the box top, so it opens without having to untie it.  SECRET: there is a strip of ribbon across the top secured underneath and the box is actually glued to the strip of satin (it uses less ribbon).

I have also made a purse with this box.  Below is the box decorated with (retired) Raspberry Tart designer series paper and a false foldover made from the Sizzix Bigz Die Scallop Circle #2.

Instead of tucking in, I have it velcro coin closure and embellished it Stampin’ Up’s new designer hardware… a silver ‘Jumbo Grommet’ (p. 179 in 2009-10 IBC).

Bigz XL Die ‘Look Here’ Birthday Pop Up Card

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Can’t view the video? CLICK HERE to view it on my site (it won’t go through via email).

Stampin' Up! 'On A Pedestal' Birthday SetI’m having fun with the Bigz XL Die ‘Pop Up Look Here’ die for the Sizzix Big Shot… so much so that I wanted to share a short video clip on putting it together (for those of us who won’t read the directions that came with it!).  It is very difficult for me to publish a video.  Besides from the obvious (being a video challenged individual), I am terribly ‘Type A’ person (READ: it must be perfect) before I will publish it.  I need to let go of that (I’m working on it!).

Check out my ‘Video Channel’ AmyTV for all my videos!  Be kind in your feedback!

The card was made with Melon Mambo (pink) and Crushed Curry (yellow) and the Razzleberry Lemonade designer series papers.  The sets are the new ‘On a Pedestal’ set (#113814, set of 7) and the (dormant) Big Birthday Candle.

Immediately below are two small shots of the cards and under that a cool slideshow of the card at several angles (click here if you can’t see the slideshow).

Birthday Pop Up Look Here cardBirthday Pop Up Look Open

I hope you enjoy this… I had a LOT of fun.  I am designing a Christmas pop up card for a ‘Christmas In July’ workshop I am doing on Saturday evening for one of my FAVORITE customers.  Okay, don’t you need a ‘Christmas’ themed in-home workshop?  Contact me if you are in the So. Chester Co. PA/northeast MD/DE area!

So… how did you like it?!

Bigz XL Die Box #2 purse

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

NOTE:  The new 2009-2010 Catalog will be online today by 5:00 pm EST along with a Deal of the Week (which is a new special offer every week for the month of July) as well as an incredible $85 Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Starter Kit is coming later this month (you can read about that offer here).

Bigz XL Die Box 2I got the Bigz XL die ‘Box #2′ (order #114518) several months ago and wasn’t sure what to do with it.  The end result box wasn’t very large (approx. 4 in. wide, 2 inches high and 1 inch deep).

In fact, this Kiwi Kiss rectangular box sat on my desk for a few months until I realized that the Scalloped Circle 2 die made a nice fold over wrap and gee, it could be a pocketbook!

Another accessory that I haven’t used at all until now was the large grommet (I used a silver one).  The grommet is just pressed into the paper (you need a sponge pad–not your fingers behind it, LOL!).  Then just bang down the little (razer sharp) points to hold it in place.  A 1/2 inch punch of coordinating paper will finish the look of a button or fastener for the pocketbook.

Bigz XL Die Box 2The coordinating designer series paper that I used here is Raspberry Tart (which is retiring today), but there are simply GORGEOUS new papers coming in the new catalog!!!

And on that note, I have 5 cases of catalogs looking for loving homes… come to my New Catalog Open House for fun and free stuff on Thursday, July 23rd at 7:00 pm.  CLICK HERE to RSVP (this event will fill, so don’t delay).
