Video Friday – A Big Box

It’s video Friday and boy do I have a giant sized box for you today.  Small boxes are great but it’s also nice to have a larger one every now and again to house larger items.  I love how this project turned out (even if the video was working against me this time).  I’m still new at this so please bear with me.  🙂

Also I just wanted to remind all my customers that I will be making an order the first week in July so if you have a “want list” you may want to shoot me an email at sunnstampin@gmail.com so I can place it for you.  If your merchandise order is less than $100 it’s best to order through me as you will get shipping at a lower rate.  If your order is more than $100 then your shipping will be the same as mine so you could order online through Stampin’ Up and get the products sent to your doorstep. I’d like to announce one more thing, Stampin’ Up is having a designer paper deal for the month of July (buy 3 and get one free), you’ll find the selection of papers on page 186 and 187 of the new catalog.  Specialty papers or paper stacks do not apply sadly.  If you need a catalog please let me know.

Video Tutorial Friday – The Vinegar Box

It’s video Friday and I am going to demonstrate how to make a very simple box that can hold a wonderful treasure.  This project was inspired by a little box that came from Italy and it has a 80 year old balsamic vinegar in it, hence the name “vinegar box”.  I love the size and as I said in the video I have made 8 to give out to the attendees of my very first workshop.  I am sure they will all be excited to see how it was made.  A note here that the venetian romance designer series paper that I used to decorate the box will not be available for purchase after June 2, when the new catalog is relased.  However, I have the catalog in my hand and there are some really beautiful new papers for sale.  Gotta love Stampin’ Up! Out with the old gorgeous paper and in with the even more gorgeous paper.  I can’t wait to show you…want a catalog?  Email me at sunnstampin@gmail.com and we will work out the details!

Video Tutorial Friday – Box for Mini glue dots

Ok, so I admit, sometimes I get really distressed at all the things sitting on my desk.  Yes, all these things are needed but really, can’t they be pretty?  I enjoy taking the every day mundane things and making them look stunning.  This project is an example of that.  It was inspired by the mini glue dot box that one gets from Stampin’ Up!  There is nothing wrong with the box other than it’s not pretty and I can see from my living room all the un-pretty things on my desk.

Video Tutorial Friday – Hexagon Box

Hi, it’s video Friday and I have a wonderful project for you today but before I get into that I wanted to share with you a little bit of Stampin’ Up! excitement.  The new 2015 catalog is now released for distribution and I have a few being shipped to me.  I am only giving an advanced copy to those people who purchase from me this month.  June 1 I will be adding a PDF file to this site so you can download it for free there.

Now get ready for some craftiness.  This hexagon box was a bit more difficult than I had intentionally planned it to be but in the end it turned out really cute.  As I said in the video, I did have a few takes of this project and ended up having to swap out part of the project for steps that I had did off camera.  I really want my tutorials to be somewhat quick.  For the first 3 people who comment (nicely) I will send a hexagon box.  Free of charge!  Gotta love freebie’s!

Video Friday! Cubed Box with Lid

Well, it’s video Friday isn’t it?  I sure hope I will get the hang of video taping myself.  The purpose of these videos is to demonstrate the versatility of paper and how it could be a wonderful addition to your card making.  I love building the projects and just adore decorating them. I do hope you try to make some of the projects I showcase and just because you may not have all of the tools doesn’t mean you can’t make them.  The scoring tool for instance is just to make things easier however, it you have a ruler and something dull like a bone folder or a cheese knife you can do it too. Cubed 3 by 3 Boxes As I mention in the video that the build or the “recipe” is the same for all sizes of the boxes I show you.  However, what I didn’t say was their dimensions.  They are added at the bottom of this post.  Enjoy the video.
