Hello Stampers!
 
Often, many of us find it challenging to create masculine-themed items to recognize the guys in our life. Stampin’ Up! makes it easy with its True Gentleman Suite of products. With everything from Designer Series Paper to a stamp set to a coordinating punch and some fun corduroy ribbon, the matching products help in the creating process.
 
I love these Mini Pizza Boxes because they hold everything from a gift card to a cookie and chocolate and more. You get eight boxes for $6 (#144645).
 

1. Using the Stampin’ Trimmer, I cut one piece from the True Gentleman Designer Series Paper in a square at 3 3/8 inches, just under 3 ½ inches. I applied this to the top of the Mini Pizza Box.
2. I cut four pieces of the same Designer Series Paper at 7/8 inches by 3 3/8 inches. Using adhesive, I applied these strips to the sides of the box.
3. I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink on a piece of Very Vanilla card stock measuring 1 inch by 3 3/8 inches. I added this to the top of the box.
4. Choosing a different sheet of the Designer Series Paper, I punched the Box Builder twice and used Glue Dots to put the bow together. (Note, you will have one small middle piece left over.) I used Glue Dots to affix the box to the top of the box.
5. I stuffed some Shreddie into the box and included my gift card.

Hello Stampers!
 
Getting ready for a masculine card class this week, and Stampin’ Up!’s Truly Tailored Bundle fits the bill perfectly.
 
The True Gentleman Designer Series Paper’s images and colors (Night of Navy, Tranquil Tide and Crumb Cake) provide just the right background. And the Truly Tailored stamp set’s image are definitely geared toward the guys in your life.
 
With today’s card, I added the Pocketful of Sunshine stamp and the Pocket Framelits. I just think it’s cool the sunglass images coordinate so well.
 
It’s just a fun card perfect for a variety of occasions.
 
Thanks for stopping by today!

Hello Stampers!
 
These critters are ready to celebrate! Lynn Feltahuser uses a neutral palette for these party animals. This fun Stampin’ Up! set can be found in the Occasions Catalog and lends itself to a lot of different occasions. She’s used the Hardwood background to add some texture and Cherry Cobbler balloons for a pop of color.
 
Remember: Just a little less than a month left to Sale-A-Bration. Lots of fun free choices with a $50 order (and a $100 order).
 
Thanks for stopping by today!

Hello Stampers!
 
Thought I would get a head start on creating some Easter goodies! After all, there’s all kinds of different Easter candy in the stores! Who can resist?
 
(The stampers who attended my kit class got to take one of these home with them.)
 
I needed a “container” for those yummy Cadbury Eggs. Stampin’ Up!’s Silver Mini Gable Boxes are just the right size. I made a window in the front of the box and added a bit of decoration.
 
Here’s how I accomplished it:
 

• Using Stampin’ Up!’s Heat Tool, I applied about 10 seconds worth of heat to the seam of the box. This loosens the glue enough to enable you to take the box apart without damaging it.

 

• I used the Layering Ovals Dies to create an oval hole in the front of the box with the Big Shot. (Once the box is taken apart, it lies flat on the Magnetic Platform.)

 

• I cut a small piece (about 3 ½ inches x 1 7/8 inches) of Window Sheet and affixed it on the inside of the box in front of the window using Tear and Tape.

 

• I created a “frame” out of Berry Burst card stock using the Layering Ovals Framelits. (Love these for their nesting and layering capabilities.)

 

• Stamped the “Happy Easter” sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes in Berry Burst ink onto Powder Pink card stock and punched with the Classic Label Punch. Added two Pearls.

 

• I put the box back together using a couple of strips of Tear and Tape.

 

• Stuffed the box with the Berry Burst Shreddie and added the egg, of course.

 

• Finished it off with the luscious Berry Burst 3/8-inch Metallic-Edge Ribbon.

 
Super cute and super fun! Let me know if I can help you get the products to make these at home.
