Easel Card Box

Hello Hivers,

These are the gifts I made for a couple of my neighbors for Christmas.  I filled the box with peppermints.  I used some retired DSP to decorate along with the Tin of Tags stamp set.  I do believe that this stamp set was my favorite over the Holidays.

As always, thanks for Buzzzing by the Hive today.
Until next time....Buzzz you later.

Late Christmas Post

Hello Hivers,

 OMG!  I can't believe that I forgot to post this project.  I don't even remember where I found the instructions....although I'm sure it was on Pinterest.  I gave these out to a few teachers at my daughters school.  Just a little treat to show our appreciation for all that they do.

As always, thanks for Buzzzing by the Hive today.

Ferrero Explosion

Hello Hivers,

I made two of these cute little boxes.  I gave them to teachers at my daughters school.  I love the size.  It is a perfect fit for two of the candies.  One of my local grocery stores had the candy on sale, buy one get one free.  I couldn't pass up that deal.  I bought loads of this candy because I knew I would be making lots of little gifts for people.  It worked out great.

Until next time....Buzzz you later.

Another Big Gift Box

Hello Hivers,

 Here is another big gift box that I made using Sam H. tutorial.  It uses one 12 x 12 sheet of Designer Series Paper for the lid and another 12 x 12 sheet of card stock for the base of the box.

I added two bows using the Bow Builder punch and some pine boughs from the Pretty Pines thinlits to decorate the lid.  I added a small tag using one of the sentiments from the Tin of Tags stamp set.

I hope your Holiday Season is going well.  Thanks for buzzzing by the Hive.















Until next time....Buzzz you later.

6 Hershey's Nuggets Box

Hello Hivers,

Today I am sharing a box that holds 6 of the Hershey's Nuggets.  I found the tutorial on Connie Stewart's blog.  I followed her directions and adjusted the box for my needs.  By lining up my nuggets and measuring the length (6") I just added 1.5" to that and came out with a length of 7.5" for my box and keeping the 5.25" width Connie started out with.  All the score measurements stayed the same.  I will be trying this on smaller versions sometime next month.  I have included a written tutorial for your pleasure.

Instructions:  6 Hershey's Nuggets Box

Box:

Cut  5.25" x 7.5" card stock for box
Score 5.25" side at:  0.75" on both sides
Score 7.5" side at:  0.75" and 2.25" on both sides

Belly Band:  5.5" x 1.75" fold around completed box to form score lines

DSP:   5.75" x 1.25"

Glimmer Paper:  4.5" x 0.75" flag both ends

Circle Punch:  1.75" and 2"


Until next time....Buzzz you later.

Stacked Boxes with Lid and Instructions

Hello Hivers,

Okay.  This box.  Man!  I just simply love it. It holds 8 Ferrero Rocher Chocolates.  I was so excited when I found the video tutorial on Pinterest.  I had to make a few changes to the measurements, but...Yeah.  This box is wonderful.  Thanks so much, Helen Griffin, your tutorial Rocks!

I made 13 of these boxes.  Yes, thirteen.  It all started with me making one box (pictured above) for someone at my daughters school.  Then, in walks the Hubby.  Ooo! Can you make me 12 of those for my co-workers?  We are having a Christmas party.

I used Be of Good Cheer DSP to decorate the 12 boxes for my Hubby. This DSP is retired, Sorry.

Large Bow Gift Box

Hello Hivers,

I found a wonderful video tutorial over on Sam H. (Pootles) blog for this cute gift box.  I used the Presents & Pinecones Designer Series Paper for the lid of the box.  I didn't have any ribbon that I wanted to use on the box so I just used Cherry Cobbler card stock.  I used several punch outs from the Bow Builder punch to make this larger bow.  The tag is from the Tin of Tag stamp set.

Until next time....Buzzz you later.

Sweet Peppermint Nugget Box with Instructions

Hello Hivers,

Here is another of the Hershey's Nugget boxes.  I love the look of this one.  The darkness of the Early Espresso card stock really helps the other colors to stand out.  I used the window thinlits from the Home Sweet Home thinlits dies.  (They are not just for Halloween.)  I like the way the windows offer just a little peek into the box before you open it fully.

 

Until next time....Buzzz you later.

Joyful Note Card Boxed Set

Hello Hivers,

I have been very busy making Christmas cards.  My goal this holiday season is to use all the stamp sets that I purchased from the 2016 Holiday Catalog.  I'm doing a great job so far.

I made two sets of 6 cards for my daughter to give to her teachers.  I used the Tin of Tags, Star of Light, and Santa's Sleigh stamp sets on these note cards.  These are made using the Crumb Cake Note Cards & Envelopes.  I love all the bling on these cards.

           

Until next time....Buzzz you later.

Tin of Presents and Scribbles

Hello Hivers,

These cards were so much fun to make.  I made two of each color.  Yes, I also made a box to store them in.  This DSP makes me so happy just by looking at it.  It just screams, "Lets Have Fun!"  You can't see it very well, but I used the Wink of Stella on the Swirly Scribble and sentiment.

Until next time....Buzzz you later.

Presents & Pinecones

Hello Hivers,

Quick and simple cards today.  I wanted the DSP to be more of the focal point.  I do love how the doily makes the sentiment stand out though.  I added some silver sequins just for the bling factor.


Until next time....Buzzz you later.

Warm Wishes

Hello Hivers,

Have I told you lately how much I love the 2016 Holiday Catalog?  Well, I do!  Everything looks so great.  I have been working on ways to showcase the DSP.

Here I have made a card with a matching sour cream container type treat holder.  I love how all the pieces from the Pretty Pines thinlits layer together.  The sentiment on the card is from the Tin of Tags stamp set.  This stamp set, as you can see, is not just for making Gift Tags.

 


Until next time....Buzzz you later.

Stars & Pretty Pines

Hello Hivers,


These cards were inspired by The Jolly Fat Elf.  I used the Layering Circles and Pretty Pines Framelits along with the Tin of Tags stamp set.  The starry background paper comes from he Presents & Pinecones DSP pack.  I think the stamped image and the DSP compliment each other very well.  As you can see from the photo, I made multiples of this card.  I went ahead and made a matching box to house the cards and envelopes.


Until next time....Buzzz you later.

Totally CASE'd

Hello Hivers,

HAPPY VETERANS DAY!

Pinterest has been my favorite place lately.  I found a very similar card there.  I just had to make my own version.  The Fancy Frost Sequins really adds that special something to these cards.  I'm thinking I should make a box to house these cards and give them away.  Sometimes I just want to keep my cards to look at them.  They are so pretty.  Can you see the Clear Wink of Stella on the Pine Boughs? Yes, I like all things that sparkle.  LOL

Until next time....Buzzz you later.

Tin of Tags Project Kit

Hello Hivers,

I finally got around to putting together my Tin of Tags Project Kit.  It coordinates with the Tin of Tags stamp set.  I didn't use two of the elements that came with the kit because I have other plans for them.

This kit was super simple to put together and it didn't take up much time.  Now all I need to do is decide on if I want to keep the tags for myself or give them away as a gift.  Either way, someone will be happy.

Here is a video by Stampin' Up! featuring the Tin of Tags Project Kit.  

Until next time....Buzzz you later.
