Stampin’ Up! Paper Florist Dies

Posted on July 8, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning, or afternoon as the case may be. I hope you are taking advantage of some of the super duper happenings at Stampin’ Up! See below for more information about that.

In my class yesterday we worked on a 3D project with the Paper Florist Dies. I found these shadow boxes, painted them and let the ladies be as creative as they wanted with these Paper Florist Dies. Here’s my sample.

Stampin' Up! Paper Florist Dies Shadow Box

The colors in here are Petal Pink, Crushed Curry, Basic Black, Basic White and Pretty Peacock, Flirty Flamingo. Greens used were Granny Apple Green and Lemon Line Twist. I used a glue gun to add these to the box, but the students didn’t want to use that. They used dimensionals, sometimes stacking them. Here are their creations.

Additional colors used on these beautiful shadow boxes were: Poppy Parade, Berry Burst, Lemon Lolly, Fresh Freesia and Misty Moonlight. The greens were the same – Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lime Twist. Didn’t they do a great job?! I really like how each person is reflective of their own selves.

Stampin’ Up! Delightfully Eclectic Card Gift Bag

Posted on July 3, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

It’s Tuesday July 3 – and a blueberry picking day! We love blueberries and this is the right time of year… they are ripe and we are ready to go. We freeze most of them to have this first picking. Then we pick more and make muffins or pancakes or cobblers or jus eat the fresh to our hearts content.

Today’s post has nothing to do with blueberries :O). It’s a card gift bag.

Stampin' Up! Delightfully Eclectic Card Gift Bag

The card is made with Delightfully Eclectic DSP and Basic Black card stock for the sides, bottom and handles. The label is Basic Black and Basic White, stamped with the Countryside Corners stamp set. Here are the dimensions:

Designer Series Paper: 6 x 4 1/2, cut 2
Coordinating card stock 3 x 6 (bottom panel) scored on both long sides @ 1/2″
same coordinating card stock 3 x 5, cut 2 (side panels), score on three sides @ 1/2″. Mark center on remaining short side and score from that mark to the right bottom corner where score lines meet. Score again from that same center mark to the bottom left corner where score lines meet.
Burnish all score lines
Trim bottom corners of side panels at angle – see photo below

Directions:

Add Tear n tape to the 1/2″ score lines on all pieces, adding it to the scored edge, close to the score line.
Attach DSP panels first, then side panels as shown.

Stampin' Up! Delightfully Eclectic Card Gift bag.2

Do one side at a time, removing tape of bottom side panel and attaching it to the bottom panel, then attach that same side panel to the DSP piece
Now do the same to the other side

Handles:

Cut 4 handles and adhere two together for strength. Here I used the Countryside Corners Dies to create the handles

Stampin' Up! Delightfully Eclectic Card Gift bag.3

Add Tear n Tape to the bottom portion of each handle and attach to each inside of the DSP see photo above
Decorate as desired:
- Ribbon used: Satin Edged Ribbon & Baker’s Twine Essential Pack in white for bow
- Basic Black and the Countryside Corners Dies for label
- Basic White and Countryside Corners stamp and Countryside Corners smallest die
Fill with decorated cards to gift :O)

Stampin' Up! Delightfully Eclectic Card Gift bag complete

The label allows you the freedom to write in a name for the gift of goodies. And I guess you wouldn’t have to fill with cards, but could fill with just about anything. Just be careful the items aren’t too heavy! :O)

If you had a new team member, this would be a nice gift to fill with various adhesives – or as a hostess gift for someone hosting a party.

Stampin’ Up! Delightfully Eclectic Box

Posted on May 15, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! New day, new week, new plans. :O) I have a sweet box for you today made with the Delightfully Eclectic DSP and finished with Black & White 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon and the Cheerful Daisies stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Delightfully Eclectic DSP box

Stampin' Up! Delightfully Eclectic Box decorated

Now isn’t this a cute box? It’s fresh & I love the Black & White Gingham Ribbon with it. I stamped the sentiment in Fresh Freesia and die cut it with the appropriate die from Cheerful Daisy Dies, put dimensionals on top & bottom and added it over the ribbon. The daisy is also stamped in Fresh Freesia, with the center in stamped off once Memento ink. It was die cut with its appropriate die from Cheerful Daisy Dies and added with a single dimensional on the left & two stacked dimensionals on the right. The ribbon is held in place in the front with a couple of glue dots under the sentiment banner. What’s nice about that is the ribbon stays in place when it is untied to open the box. :O)

Here are the dimensions for the box and where to cut & trim.

Box: 4 x 11; score on long side 1, 5, 6. 10; score on short side at 1 and 3. Burnish all score lines then trim as shown.

You can see where the cuts are for this box and where the tape should be. You can choose to use adhesive tape as I did here or Stampin’ Seal+, which I used on another box. Both work very well.

The Delightfully Eclectic pack of paper holds 48 sheets, so lots of opportunities for playing with large sheets for boxes or gift bags.

If you do not have a demonstrator and would like to order from me or need a catalog, I would like to help you create. When ordering $50 or more in product (before shipping/ taxes), use my HOST CODE 64NDVS4D to receive Star Rewards and a SU! gift valued to $10. Star Rewards build up so that when you have 8 rewards from me, you can receive a stamp set valued to $40. :O) And when your order is $50 or more prior to Shipping/ taxes, you also receive the monthly tutorial. :O)

You may order from me here.

Thanks for stopping by. May you have a beautiful day!

Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest and Scalloped Kraft Teat Boxes

Posted on July 25, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Howdy… how are you managing? It’s been 94 here for several days, maybe up to 98 or 99 today with very high humidity. My silver fern have wilted flat; my astilbe is shrunk to nothing. We have a very shady back yard but the plants are not used to these temps. I watered tonight for a bit and the system will come on in the early morning ~ we’ll see if we can save the plants. 😩😖

Previously I have been posting using the Hello Harvest bundle and some of the products in the suite. Yesterday I posted two masculine birthday cards using other items. So… I HAD to come back and use more of the suite products… I’ve used them with the Scalloped Kraft Treat Boxes to decorate for a sweet gift.

Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest & Scalloped Kraft Treat Boxes

Here’s a side view of the completed project. The ribbon is Woven Ribbon and not part of the suite, but In liked it and decided to use it to tie the box together :O) The pumpkin is from the Hello Harvest bundle: stamped in Basic Gray for a subtle effect, then colored with Stampin’ Blends: Light So Saffron and Light Pumpkin Pie, then die cut with the Rustic Pumpkin Dies. I poked a hole in in the stem with my Take Your Pick Tool and the Stampin’ Pierce Mat in order to thread the ribbon through. I also die cut a couple of tendrils with the Rustic Pumpkin Dies in Garden Green card stock and adhered them to the pumpkin with dabs of liquid glue.

The leaf is part of the Leaf Label & Amber Gem Combo Pack, which is part of the suite. I stamped the leaf with Early Espresso ink and the Friends Are Like Seashell stamp set, then threaded it through the same ribbon. You can see tied a knot in the ribbon between the pumpkin and the leaf.

Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest w/ Scalloped Kraft Treat Boxes

Here’s the top view…

Cajun Craze card stock for the base of the belly band, layered with Gingham Cottage DSP in So Saffron plaid.
Use largest of the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a circle from the same DSP. Cut another circle in Basic White and adhere to the back of the DSP circle for strength.
Stamp the banner on Basic White card stock with Early Espresso ink for the outline and the Lovely & Lasting stamp set.
Stamp the word ‘cheers’ in Cajun Craze ink using the Lovely & Lasting stamp set, in the center of the banner. Punch with the Lasting Label Punch and adhere with dimensionals to the circle.
Add three Amber Gems from the Leaf Label & Amber Gems Combo Pack.
Wrap the belly band around the box; wrap the ribbon over it and attach the ribbon with Tear n Tape to the belly band. Tie a side bow.
Attach the circle to the belly band/ ribbon with glue dots
TIP: the belly band does not wrap entirely around the box and this circle/ banner cover that up. It is easy to slip the belly band off the box.

Here’s the side view of this adorable box. When it’s time for gift giving, I will fill with cookies as this is a food safe box! If you so wanted, it could be filled with wrapped candies too.
