Could I chatter any more in this video? Good grief! Anyway, I hope you stick with me for this one. It is a simple box to make and I truly make it look difficult! Ha ha. I am hoping that the New Year will bring me more concise and less chatty abilities. Check out the picture, then the video and of course the details follow.
The Details:
Base Card stock 3 by 10 inches scored at 1/2 inch.
Lid Card stock 1 1/2 by 10 scored at 1/2 inch.
4 ovals (one for bottom, one for bottom inside covering, one for lid and one pretty one for the top)
Hey, hope you are headed into a fun weekend. I have a very fun box to share with you today. I really liked the size of the box I made along with the embossing on the card stock first before putting things together. Check it out.
The details:
Card stock sizing: 9 by 9
Score at 3 and 6 inches with a notch at 4 1/2. Turn and score at 3 and 6 inches with a notch at 4 1/2. Turn and notch on the other 2 remaining sides at 4 1/2.
Using your ruler, score from the notch to the where your score lines meet and score diagonally. Do this for all sides making a triangle.
Hello and thank you for stopping by. I have worked really hard over the last month with the Christmas Crush and the Card holder series. I am actually sad to get back to normal broadcasting next week. In doing all this work I have met some wonderful people, gotten Christmas cards from all over the globe and have had a lot of fun chatting and reaching out to you personally. I feel very grateful to be apart of the paper crafting community and feel very lucky to be working with Stampin’ Up! for this wonderful opportunity. Yay, Stampin`Up!
If you are Canadian and in some way I have inspired you, then I would love the opportunity to earn your business by becoming your demonstrator (or if you too would like to become a demonstrator I would love to help you along with that goal too). You can email me if you have questions, or you can shop online right now by clicking any of the supply links below you will get to my online store. You don’t have to live near me.

I am happy to send you your first Catalog with me, and if you continue to spend $60 or more in a 6 month period I will send you your next catalogs for free too (as soon as they get off the presses, right from head office). I really want the opportunity to earn your business so please tell me how I can improve your crafting life and I will do my very best to make it happen. 🙂
So the gift card holders I have made for today are more like cards. I made 3 today because I am an over achiever and because they were all kind of the same but different. Enough chatter, here is the video, pictures are below with details and a supply list below.
2 pcs of card stock (card 11 by 4 1/4 and insert 6 by 1 3/4)
Make a regular card base…then insert 2 5 by 5 squares into the inside of the card.
2 pieces of dsp sized 5 by 5 and scored exactly the same way at 1 1/2, 2 1/4, 3 3/4 and 4 1/2 (notice the way you want your pattern to go and score that way)
Make a regular card base. Decorate it the way you wish. the pocket on the front is made with a 4 by 3 1/4 inch piece of card stock scored on the two long sides and one short side at 1/2 inch. Miter the corners and if you want a circle punched into it make sure to trim the inside flaps down.
Hi everyone. I hope you are enjoying this series. I like having all the ways to dress up a gift card in one easy playlist to find. I choose to do 2 every day because there are so many ways to dress up a gift card and even though I did not design these I did some fun things with the decorating. To be fair I do not know who exactly designed them because when I did do a search on the internet I found hundreds of tutorials and I couldn’t be accurate with who came up with what first…Anyway, check out the video and of course the details are below the pictures.
Happy Wednesday! These 2 gift card holders are constructed the same but show very differently as one is using patterned paper (DSP) and one is using card stock embellished with patterned paper. Check out the video and of course the details are below the pictures.
Vellum, vellum, vellum! Makes for a very pretty enclosure for those special gift cards! Check out the video and of course the details are below the pictures. Enjoy the show.
Hello my crafty friends. I have a mini series for you this week. I’m sharing how to make 2 gift card holders every day this week! So if you are one of those people who gives gift cards this series is for you. The 10 card holders I will be demonstrating this week are NOT my designs, but I did put my own spin on them. I hope you enjoy the fun way to give a gift card. 🙂 Enjoy the show. Details are under the pictures.
The Details:
Using the envelope punch board on a piece of card stock that is 5 by 5 inches punch and score at 2. Turn the paper a quarter and using your score guide line up with your previously scored score and punch an score. Repeat on all sides.
It’s Friday and Friday means that we get a 3D project! I’m pretty pleased with this little treat bag and I hope you like it too. It’s a very nice way to end my Christmas Crush series with something so cute and simple! Check it out.
The details:
Card stock 4 1/2 by 6 1/2
Scoring on the long side at 2, 3, 5, and 6 inches.
TGIF. I know many of you follow my blog for the boxes and 3D projects. I hope you stay tuned for December as I have a mini series regarding gift card holders. Let’s not jump ahead to December when we have an entire week of Christmas Crush to get through. Today’s project is a quick Christmas Cracker. Well, here in Canada that’s what we call them. Check today’s project out.
The details:
Cardstock 4 1/2 by 6 1/2

Fold.
Punch at 1 inch on the envelope punch board, fold a section down and repeat. Turn over and repeat on the other side. 5 punches on each side.
I will admit this project is a little fiddely. I wish I had time to do a do over. Although the project turned out great it wasn’t perfect. I do explain what I would have done differently in the video but I do like it.
The details
Card stock: 2 pieces 9 1/2 by 7 1/2
Scoring on the long side at 3, 8 1/2 inches.
Scoring on the short side of both pieces at 2, 4 3/4 and 6 1/4.
So it`s true, I`m not all about cards…it`s Friday and Friday gets a 3D project. Today is something that could be very useful as a gift wrapping…especially if you are heading to a friends house for dinner. I always try to bring a bottle of wine…and this year I have figured out how to wrap the bottle. I don`t know if you remember last year I tried to make a bottle wrap and came up with a triangle box instead. It did not fit the bottle. I was on the right track but now I really have figured it out, with the help of a mathematician I may add. Check it out.

The Details:
Cardstock 12 by 9 inches.

Hi there. So our Canadian Thanksgiving was 5 days ago and I had thought that this video would come out a little more timely for my Canadian Crafters. I am sorry I didn’t get it to you in time, I have been working very hard on my Christmas Card Series being launched Nov 2. So, things got a little out of hand with my regular posts. I don’t even have the time to reply to emails at the moment…I am sorry to everyone who has been trying to get hold of me…I am not ignoring you. I am just under the crunch right now. So, thanks giving is gone, but my crafty pals from the States would find it timely. For all my fellow Canadians…this project can be adapted for birthday or any type of celebration. Check out the video to see what I mean.

Patterned Paper Sizing: 11by 5
Short size scoring at 1 1/2
Long size scoring at 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 10 (The 1 inch and 6 inch are part scores)

If you have been following me for a while, or if you are new here, you have probably heard me say that I have to craft on a budget. It’s very true. As much as I want to purchase all the things in the catalog it’s not in the budget, so I make do and usually come up with fantastic alternatives to my projects. Today’s post is a very good example of that. There is a big shot die on page 41 of the Holiday Catalog that is called the Square Pillow Box thinlit die. As much as I wanted it, I knew I could make something similar on my own without the fancy thing. However, if I was to make a lot of these, I probably would have figured out a way to work the budget and bought it. I may make another size for Christmas gift cards, so stay tuned! Check out the picture, the video and of course the supply list!
Hi, TGIF. I get inspiration everywhere I go and sometimes if I find a nice box that is a nice size I say to myself…hey I can make that…but I usually make it prettier. Check out the photo, the video and of course the supply list so you can make one too. 🙂
Hi everyone, I’m on a kick trying to be creative with my punches lately. Hope you don’t mind. Today I’m using the new curvy corner trio punch to make a pretty lip of the box. I really liked how it turned out. Check out the photo, video and of course the supply list to get your own.
Hi everyone, thanks for joining me. Today’s project is using the scalloped tag topper punch as a decorative edge for a wee little box. Check out the photos, the video and of course the supply list. Just a little nudge here, Christmas is coming and you’ll need your punch to make tags!!!
When I hold a class or workshop I like to give little gifties to my attendees so that they go home with an inspired idea on how versatile the products I use can be utilized. This is one of those projects and I am happy to share with you as well. Check it out.
Hi there. I have 2 lovely clients that are taking their leave of Canada and going to travel to Europe and beyond. As their stylist I thought I would treat them with a nice gift and while I was fetching it from the supplier I realized that this would be a great opportunity to wrap it up Stampin’ Up! style. Here is a picture of the finished product, the video follows and the supply list is at the bottom in case you wish to purchase with me. 🙂
Hiya everyone. TGIF! I hope you had a great week. Today’s project looks way more difficult than it is. I did a lot of math and engineering to make it easy to put together. I have been sitting on this project for a while I may add…so finally today I am going to share it with you.

Hiya. I went on holidays last month and happened to shop at IKEA (we don’t have one where I live) and I picked up a few of these votive candles. They smell great, and are a fab gift for anyone! Check out the box I made to house this candle.
Here is the video. Enjoy the show.
So the details are below. Keep in mind it can be confusing so I am going to separate the construction into 3 segments for you.
Today I’m sharing the latest customer gifts that I am giving to each and every one of my customers who shop with me during the month of July. I do not usually share what I give to my customers as I like to surprise them and sometimes I just forget to video it. However, today I did because it is close to the end of the month and next month will be different. I am very appreciative of their business and wanted to show that. Just to be clear, if you shop with me online or at a workshop you will receive a little something from me, as long as I have an address to drop it off or mail to. Thanks in advance for your patronage.
Here`s the video, I tried to post the colour ways with the still photos at the end so it can give you an idea of some new combinations. 🙂 Enjoy the show.
The Particulars:
Card Stock: 8 by 10 score at 4 3/4 and 5 1/4
