What are In Colors?
In Colors are a collection of five new ink colors Stampin’ Up! releases each year to keep the palette fresh and exciting. Each set of In Colors lasts for two years. These colors help keep Stampin’ Up! on trend with current design, and they play well with the other current ink offerings.

Country Birdhouse Box
Today, I’m sharing a fun supply box inspired by my friend and teammate, Gina. She demonstrated this box design at our team meeting. I just had to share the design with all of you. I love that you can store so many things in this handy box, such as cards, embellishments, adhesives, and more. And, you can make it with card stock.
Be sure to watch the video below to see how this box comes together. I use the 2024-2026 In Colors and Stampin’ Up!’s Country Birdhouse Bundle for my box. (Just a quick note: Stampin’ Up!’s stamp set and die bundles are on sale for an additional 10 percent off through June 30, 2024.)
You’ll need two sheets of matching card stock measuring 8 1/4 x 9 3/4. Follow the scoring and cutting directions below. You can also follow along with the video.

Join the two pages together with Tear n Tape as suggested below, using the strip on the right hand side of page 1. Add Tear n Tape where indicated on each side of the box. See below for side one.
Add Tear N Tape for the other side. See below for side two.
Feel free to decorate your box with any patterned paper and embellishments. The card stock piece(Pretty in Pink) for the back of the box measures 6 x 5, with the DSP (Shy Shamrock) measuring 5 3/4 x 4 3/4. The card stock for the front of the box measures 6 x 2 3/4, with the DSP measuring 5 3/4 x 2 1/2.

When I purchase a new paper crafting product such as a stamp set and/or bundle, I really try to stretch the set, making sure I make the most of the creative possibilities. It’s fun to experiment with the different elements of the set and des. This week, I played with Stampin’ Up!’s Loveliest Tree Bundle.
Not only do I love the price point of $36 for the bundle, but I appreciate the selection of sentiments it includes. Click here to see a post sharing three other card samples using this bundle, as well as a how-to video. (Just a quick note: Beginning June 5, 2024, all current Stampin’ Up! bundles will be on sale for 10 percent off. Be sure to take advantage of this month-long special.)
