Candy Cane Christmas

When I saw this paper, I knew it would become a favorite of mine.   I'm determined to get a jump on Christmas cards this year, so here's another card using Holiday catalog products that will be available September 1.

Stampin' Up! Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper

Above is a close up of the tag. Ful size card below. I used the label from the Baker's Box Thinlits to cut the label. To frame the label, I simply drew around the outside of the thinlit and cut out a frame for the Whisper White sentiment by hand. It produced a perfect frame!

Stampin' UP! Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper

Two different papers from the Candy Cane Lane packages were used. The Real Red Ribbon hides the seam. The candy is stamped in Real Red,punched out and mounted on a dimensional. I added a small Real Red enamel to the center of the candy.

Get a Jump on Christmas cards

While waiting for my new Holiday catalog order to arrive, I decided to start my Christmas cards, since I was in a holiday mood. I used the Detailed Ornament Thinlits die set, which coordinates with the Embellished Ornament stamp set.  My Holiday order arrived just as I was finishing these cards, and I decided to try the Merry Christmas sentiment stamps from the new Star of Light set (available Sept 1)

I'm working on a lot more Holiday cards and projects that I'll be sharing with you using items from my first Holiday Catalog order. I'm already planning some classes, so stay tuned.

New Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog Stash

Previous Project Redo

Remember the banner I showed you a couple weeks ago?  I kept looking at it and looking at it and it just didn't look substantial enough.   I added another layer in Night of Navy card stock using the Banners Framelits Dies...and it made a big difference, don't you think?

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Banners

Recipe:

Stamps: Beautiful Banners (141894),Layered Letters Alphabet Stamp (138692)
Ink: Night of Navy
Paper:  Thick Whisper White, Night of Navy Card Stock
Accessories and tools: Banners Framelits Sweet & Sassy Framelits (hearts).  

Beautiful Banners and Layered Letters Alphabet Stamps

I love that any banner can be personalized.  This one I sent to my Mom for her 94th birthday party.

When I sent her gift, I also include this card (below), the banner, and matching treat boxes.  I would normally fill treat boxes with chocolates, but this time of year, shipping from Houston to Minnesota, chocolates aren't an option.  Gummy candies make great treat fillers this time of year!

Add caption

Stamps: Flourishing Phrases, Tin of Cards (Sentiment)
Ink: Night of Navy
Paper: Thick Whisper White, Whisper White, Night of Navy,Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper
Accessories and tools: Layering Circle Framelits,May Flowers Framelit (on treat boxes), Dimentionals, Basic Rhinestones

Treat boxes

The Treat Box Tutorial was part of an earlier post, so you can check this previous post for treat box dimentions and instructions.

This is a small treat box made to match the card. It's easy to make using the Stampin' Up! Simply Scored Scoring Tool (122334).  I added a simple flower from the May Flowers Framelits (140276).

Above is the finished treat box

The treat box opens in the center and is made from a 4-1/4 X 11 sheet of card stock using the Stampin' Up! Simply Scored Scoring Tool.

The box is hinged on both ends and folds opened and closed from the center.  You'll want to use Fast Fuse to glue the box together.  The Designer Series Paper is applied with Multipurpose liquid glue (110755).

Blooms and Bliss Designer Series Paper

Stampin' Up! Blooms and Bliss DSP whimsical florals make lovely treat holders and card sets.  I used the  Blooms and Wishes stamp set and the Blossom Builder Punch alone with the Bunch of Blossoms three step stamp set for the more accents on this card and matching treat box.

Stampin' Up Bunch of Blossoms Stamp and Blooms and Bliss Designer Series Paper

Stampin' Up! Blooms and Bliss Designer Series Paper and Bunch of Blossoms Stamp

Recipe:

Stamps: Bunch of Blossoms, Blooms & Wishes
Ink: Sweet Sugarplum, Rich Razzleberry, Pink Pirouette
Paper:  Thick Whisper White, Whisper White, Blooms and Bliss
Accessories and tools: Blossom Builder Punch, Sweet Sugarplum 3/8" Ruched Ribbon, Basic Pearls, Basic Rhinestones.  

Here's another card using Blossom Builder Punch that uses the same color combinations and uses papers from the Playful Pallet Designer Series Paper Stack.  I'm really in love with Sweet Sugarplum and all the coordinating Stampin' Up! papers.  Click the image for a larger view.

The two designer series papers coordinate well with each other as well as the ribbons and punches.

Stamps: Bunch of Blossoms, Designer Tin of Cards stamp set

Stampin' Up! Blooms & Bliss Treat Box Tutorial

This is a small treat box made to match these two cards. It's easy to make using the Stampin' Up! Simply Scored Scoring Tool (122334).  I added another flower made with the Blossom Builder Punch and Bunch of Blossoms stamp set so that it coordinates with the two cards.

Above is the finished treat box

Here's what the treat box looks like without the Blossom Builder flower attached.

The treat box opens in the center and is made from a 4-1/4 X 11 sheet of card stock.  Using the Stampin' Up! Simply Scored Scoring Tool, score:

•  the long side of the 4-1/4 X 11 card stock at 7/8", 2-3/4", 3-3/4"; then flip the long side around and score from the other end of the long side 7/8", 2-3/4" and 3-3/4" on the opposite end of the long side.
• The short side of the 4-1/4 X 11 card stock at 1", then flip the short side around and score at 1" on the opposite end of the short side.
• Cut two 1" X 4-1/4" pieces of card stock.  These two pieces will be used to reinforce the open ends of the base of the box.  
• Score the 1" X 4-1/4" pieces on the long side at 1".  Then flip it to the opposite long side and score this long side at 1"
• Cut up the sides to the score lines, mitering the smallest tabs
• Cut in to the score lines at the ends.  Fold the ends in and glue
• Glue the sides
• Add 1- 4-1/4 pieces to each open end of the base box.
• Add DSP
• Add embellishments / flower to the cover.  I used a circle punch as the base for the flower and only glued 1/2 of the circle to one side of the opening.

The box is hinged on both ends and folds opened and closed from the center.  You'll want to use Fast Fuse to glue the box together.  The Designer Series Paper is applied with Tombal liquid glue. 

We have so many news stamp sets and thinlits introduced with the new 2016-2017 Stampin' Up! catalog in June.  Its so much fun to try different combinations. 

I finished another set of treat boxes using this same treat box design as above, a happy birthday banner and matching card that I'll post tomorrow. Make sure you're signed up for my blog to receive my updates in you email.

Tips for using your Fast Fuse Adhesive

Here's a video to help you get the most from your Fast Fuse adhesive. Fast Fuse is a great adhesive for holding small boxes like the one shown above or where you need tape with a holding power greater than a standard Glue runner or  liquid glue.  With Fall crafting season about to begin, you'll be making lots of cute treat packages and hand made gifts in addition to cards and matching envelopes.  Be sure to add Fast Fuse adhesive to your next order.
