Easter Springtime Joy Mini Treat Boxes

Good morning and welcome to another edition of Cards and Creations by Lori McBride. My name is Lori McBride and I’m a Stampin’ Up Independent Demonstrator from Joshua,TX.

Today, I’d like to share with you these precious Mini Treat Boxes created with the Springtime Joy Stamp Set and just a few other goodies from my craft stash.

At the start of this project I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to do. I had a vision in my head of using the bunnies from the Springtime Joy Stamp Set, the Mini Treat Boxes and the Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper but that was it.

During my time in design on this project two major things happened; The Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper sold out in lightning speed and Stampin’ Up announced the Annual Catalog Retirement List.

This is a great project for anyone who was lucky enough to already have the Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper in their stash. If you were one of the many unfortunate people who weren’t able to get it before it sold out, Stampin’ Up still has many great alternative papers including the Subtles DSP, Love You Always DSP or even the Love You Always DSSP.

*Supply List*

Cardstock – For these four boxes I used So Saffron, Bermuda Bay, Blushing Bride, Mint Macaron and scraps of Basic White for stamping.

Stampin’ Blend Markers Light Calypso Coral, Light So Saffron, Light Bermuda Bay, Light Misty Moonlight, Light and Dark Cinnamon Cider and Dark Mint Macaron, Dark Petal Pink, Color Lifter

Ribbons – I used the Daffodil Delight Ruched Ribbon, Pool Party Sheer Ribbon and Blushing Bride Metallic Ribbon

Springtime Joy Stamp Set

Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper or alternates already discussed

Clear Mini Treat Boxes

Layering Squares Dies

Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine

Stampin’ Trimmer

Paper Snips

Clear Block D

Stampin’ Dimensionals

Tear and Tape

Multipurpose Liquid Glue

*Measurement*

There’s really only one measurement that you need and it’s a piece of Cardstock measuring 2″×8 1/4″

*Instructions*

Assemble your box (no adhesive required) and wrap the Cardstock around the box pinching it at the corners.

Add Tear and Tape to the 1/4″ piece and adhere together.

Die cut squares of DSP and adhere them to the sides of the box using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Add candy (I used Starburst Jellybeans because they’re awesome!) in the box and close the top of the box.

Cut off a fair amount of ribbon, lay it under the Mini Treat Box and tie a knot.

There’s nothing that says that it’s Easter more than a chocolate bunny. To create her, I stamped her in Momento Black Ink and colored her in with the Stampin’ Blend Markers. I used the Color Lifter in the cheek area and added some Dark Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend to give her some character.

I fussy cut the chocolate bunny out with a pair of snips and added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of her and stuck her directly to the front of the box.

Within minutes you have an absolutely precious gift to someone or many special someone’s in your life.

Thank you so much for joining me today. I hope that you’ve enjoyed this tutorial and will join me again for another edition.

Springtime Joy Pizza Boxes

Good morning and welcome to another edition of Cards and Creations by Lori McBride. My name is Lori McBride and I’m a Stampin’ Up Independent Demonstrator from Joshua, TX.

Today, I’d like to share with you this adorable little Mini Pizza Box along with just a few goodies in the craft room.

*A few Notes Before We Begin*

We were just as shocked that the 6×6 Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper sold out as lightning fast as it did. With it no longer being available this project is intended for those who were fortunate enough to be able to get it before it sold out.

Stampin’ Up announced their Retirement List yesterday and the Mini Pizza Boxes are on the list of products that will retire May 3rd.

The 2 1/4″ Circle Punch is also on Stampin’ Up’s Retirement List.

I also anticipate that the Springtime Joy Stamp Set will also retire at the beginning of May.

*A Couple Recommendations*

I highly recommend that anyone who may not have the Springtime Joy Stamp Set or the Mini Pizza boxes in their current craft stash and may be interested in doing this project with a different DSP to order them quickly before they sell out.

Since the Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper is no longer available, I can reccomend a couple of sheets of the current Subtles Designer Series Paper.

Our Layering Circles Dies are a good substitute for the Circle Punch.

*Instructions For Assembly*

Lay a piece of DSP on a flat surface opposite side of the design you want to show on the outside. Using a pen or pencil trace the outline of half of the box.

*Tip*

There are notches in the box that you’re going to want to take note of a little later on. Definitely trace those. In order to do that, I simply folded the box up to where the notches folded out and traced. There will be 5 areas total. I also did not put DSP on the sides of the box that folded in to create the box. I simply folded them out of the way and continued to trace.

*Instructions Continued*

Once the tracing was complete, I used a pair of paper snips to cut out the traced outline.

I used a craft knife to cut to slice along where those notches were located.

I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue to attach the DSP to the Mini pizza box and repeated process for the other half of the mini pizza box.

*NOTE*

Repeating the process is only needed if you’re using 6″×6″ DSP. If you’re using 12″×12″ DSP than you would trace it all at once and then cut and glue down.

*Instructions Continued*

I stamped the lamb image from the Springtime Joy Stamp Set in Momento Black Ink and hand colored her with the Stampin’ Blend Markers.

I used the 2 1/4″ Circle Punch to punch the lamb image out and the layering Circles Dies to die cut the scalloped edged circle.

I assembled the lamb image and the scalloped circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut a fair amount of the Pool Party Sheer Ribbon. (Again, I NEVER measure out just how much I actually use – enough to wrap around the box and tie a bow.) I wrapped the ribbon around the box, tied a bow and snipped off the excess.

I added Stampin Dimensionals to the back of the scalloped Cardstock and adhered it over the ribbon.

This project was designed for the recipient to untie the bow and lift the lid of the Mini pizza box to reveal the treats inside and then be able to re-tie the bow if they choose to keep the box.

Several weeks ago, I shared the uncertainty of my peach tree after the huge Snow Apocalypse here in Texas. I’m so pleased to make the announcement that she survived and is currently covered in peach Blossoms and starting to sprout some leaves at last!

Thank you so much for joining me today. I hope that you’ve enjoyed this project and will join me again soon for another edition soon.

Hey Chick Easter Card

Good morning and welcome to another edition of Cards and Creations by Lori McBride and the Team Stamp It Blog Hop. The theme of our Hop this month is Easter. My name is Lori McBride and I’m a Stampin’ Up Independent Demonstrator from Joshua, TX.

Today I’d like to share with you a card that I created using the *Hey Chick Bundle* along with just a few other goodies.

I adore the Hey Chick Bundle and I really couldn’t think of a better Bundle to use for an Easter card and I love adding character to the chickens by giving them multi colored hair. I really just had a lot of fun with this one and let the creativity behind it venture.

I also couldn’t think of a better tribute of goodbye to Purple Posy than using it on an Easter card. I have absolutely loved and adored it as an In Color the last couple of years despite the quality issues with the Ink Pad and Refill. I’m not holding onto hope that it’ll ever return. So the best send off that I can give her is to use as much of it as humanly possible and get it out of my stash so I’m not crying profusely upon it’s retirement. R.I.P. Purple Posy – my family and friends will certainly miss you!!

Enough with the rambling – let’s get to it!

*Instructions*

For this card I really wanted to keep it soft and subtle but I also wanted to throw in some neutrals to break it up some and have a bit of authenticity to the project itself.

As much as I love the chicken she wasn’t initially what sparked the idea behind the project. It was the stump, the sign and the eggs and specifically how to turn them into Easter eggs so I started by die cutting all of the pieces just using scraps of everything listed below with the exception of the In Good Taste DSP.

I recently learned an AMAZING tip and used my Stampin’ Write Markers to go over the embossed areas of the die cuts using the coordinating colors.

I stamped the “good egg” sentiment on the sign in Soft Suede Ink at the time I die cut it.

I decided to use the woodgrain DSP from the In Good Taste DSP in and die cut it using the largest of the Stitched Rectangle Dies.

On a decent sized scrap of Basic White Cardstock I used the All Wired Up Background Stamp and die cut it using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.

I gently ripped a scrap of Soft Sea Foam Cardstock and used the Soft Sea Foam Classic Ink Pad and the Borders To Backgrounds Stamp Set to add just a touch of texture.

Finally I stamped the chicken in Momento Black Ink and colored her using the Stampin’ Blend Markers listed below and die cut her out.

The Cardbase is Purple Posy Cardstock cut in half at 4 1/4″×11″ scored at 5 1/2″. I went ahead and attached the DSP and Stitched So Sweetly pieces to the Cardbase but I didn’t initially glue everything in place.

Instead, I placed everything in place and started by individually lifting and gluing each individual egg into place using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I used Stampin’ Dimensionals adhere down the stump and the sign and then used a combination of Mini Glue Dots and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals for the egg sitting on top of the stump and the eggs at the bottom of the stump.

Finally, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of my chicken and adhered her in place.

For the inside of this card, I stamped the “new beginnings” sentiment from the Springtime Joy Stamp Set and the Easter Basket image and colored them with the Stampin’ Blend Markers.

At this time, I’d like to Congratulate the winner of last month’s Blog Hop:

Ice Cream Corner Shaker Card

Good morning and welcome to another edition of Cards and Creations by Lori McBride. My name is Lori McBride and I’m a Stampin’ Up Independent Demonstrator from Joshua, TX.

Today, I’d like to share with you a card that’s had me shaking for days! The weather is really starting to warm up here in North Texas and it’s the perfect time of year for some ice cream! The delicious pint of Blue Bell that I picked up from the store in combination with the ice cream truck making his first rounds of the season was my inspiration for this card.

As far as I’m concerned, you’re NEVER too old for ice cream and this is the perfect card for kids, grandkids or anyone who just simply loves ice cream as much as I do.

*Meaurements*

Cardbase 4 1/4″ ×11″ scored at 5 1/2″

Matte Base 4″×5 1/4″ (×2)

DSP 1″×4″ and 1/4″×3 1/2″

Scraps of Basic White for stamping

*Other Useful Tools*

Stampin’ Trimmer

Take Your Pick Tool

Clear Envelopes

*Instructions*

I punched the scraps of Basic White Cardstock out using the Ice Cream Builder Punch and stamped them in their colors.

I trimmed the DSP using my Stampin’ Trimmer and adhered them to the Matte Base using Stampin’ Seal Adhesive.

I stamped the “happy birthday” sentiment in Pool Party.

Before I adhered the ice cream cones in place I arranged them and glued the cones down first using Mini Glue Dots and then added Stampin Mini Dimensionals to the ice cream scoops and arranged them in place and sticking them down.

I slide the Matte Base and sprinkled in some of the Ice Cream Sprinkles Embellishments and sealed the clear plastic envelope.

*Tip*

The clear plastic envelope is designed for the Cardbase already attached so it’s slightly bigger than our Matte Base. When you slide it in, make sure that the Matte Base is all the way over to one side. We’ll address that extra plastic in the next step.

*Instructions Continued*

Now that the envelope is sealed and your toppings aren’t going to escape. Fold the excess plastic over and use a piece of Tear and Tape to secure it to the back of the Matte Base. Then you’re going to want to put three additional pieces of Tear and Tape to the back of the envelope.

Carefully remove the backing from the Tear and Tape (you don’t want to accidentally poke a hole in your clear plastic envelope) using your Take Your Pick Tool and adhere it down to the front of your Cardbase.

For the inside base I stamped the “hope it’s sweet” sentiment from the Sweet Ice Cream Stamp Set in Bumblebee Ink.

Thank you so much for joining me today. I hope you’ll join me again soon for another edition. Until then – Happy Stampin’ Everyone!

Happy Thoughts Birthday Cards

Good morning and welcome to another edition of Cards and Creations by Lori McBride. My name is Lori McBride and I’m a Stampin’ Up Independent Demonstrator from Joshua, TX.

Today, I’d like to share with you two cards that I created using the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set.

There’s one card that seems is always in short supply and that’s a good birthday card. I send a lot of cards out to family and friends and I try to make each one unique and special to each person receiving it. With that being said it’s grown so much and everyone enjoys them so much that I really needed simpler ideas for a quick, fast and easy card.

Over the course of the last several days, I’ve shared multiple cards using the same Stamp Sets to create fun, simple, festive and beautiful cards without breaking the bank or taking a whole lot of time.

Today, I really wanted to focus on some of our current In Color Collection. I have two samples, one using the In Colors together and the other same using the In Color with other colors from our current Core Collection.

I love Magenta Madness but it really is like, “Whoa! Calm down there girlfriend!” It’s so bright and bold that it almost hurts my eyes to look at. Combined with the softer colors it’s a beautiful accent color.

Because the supplies are primarily the same for the second card, I’m not going to list everything out but will provide you with the color Cardstock and Inks that I used.

Congratulations Cards

Good morning and welcome to another edition of Cards and Creations by Lori McBride. My name is Lori McBride and I’m a Stampin’ Up Independent Demonstrator from Joshua, TX.

As I mentioned in previous Blogs, the Borders To Backgrounds Stamp Set truly inspired me to create more.

Today, I combined the Borders To Backgrounds with the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set and stepped up the design differently from what I’ve done in days prior.

These were really just fun and bright and colorful cards to make.

I started off by simple stamping the Basic White Cardstock and layering the Cardbase and Matte Base with Stampin’ Seal.

For the stamped Basic White, I raised that Matte Base up with Stampin Dimensionals.

I stamped the “Congratulations” sentiment from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set in Momento Black Ink and punched it out with the Tailored Punch. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment and adhered it down.

I created the bows and used Mini Glue Dots to secure them in place.

For the finishing touch, I used my Take Your Pick to and added just a few of the Artistry Bloom Self Adhesive Sequins.

Butterfly Brilliance Update

Good morning and welcome to another edition of Cards and Creations by Lori McBride. My name is Lori McBride and I’m a Stampin’ Up Independent Demonstrator from Joshua,TX.

Today, I’d like to share with you some unfortunate news. The Butterfly Bijou 6×6″ Designer Series Paper has sold out. When Butterfly Brilliance launched, Stampin’ Up announced that both Butterfly Bijou and the Natural Touch DSSP were only available while supplies last.

Now that Butterfly Bijou has sold out it does mean that the Butterfly Brilliance Collection is no longer available to purchase however; items from the Collection will be available for separate purchase including:

Natural Touch DSSP (while supplies last)

Butterfly Brilliance Bundle (Stamp Set and Dies)

Butterfly Brilliance Stamp Set

Brilliant Wings Dies

While it is disappointing that the Butterfly Bijou Paper has sold out, it is our understanding that there’s still ample supply left of what’s remaining of the Collection and it’s a great set to work with.

I will be sharing just a few ways that the Butterfly Brilliance Stamp Set and Brilliant Wings Dies can be used just by themselves next week.

Now that the Butterfly Bijou Paper has sold out, I imagine that the Natural Touch DSSP will also sell out pretty quickly. I can’t empathize this enough – Don’t wait!

Thank you so much for joining me today. I hope that you’ll join me again soon for another edition.

Until next time – Happy Stampin Everyone!!!

Ornate Style Spring Card

Good morning and welcome to another edition of Cards and Creations by Lori McBride. My name is Lori McBride and I’m a Stampin’ Up Independent Demonstrator from Joshua, TX.

Today I’d like to share with you a card I created with the Ornate Style Stamp Set and Ornate Border Dies.

Spring is most definitely in the air here in North Texas and it won’t be long before all of the stunning colors of spring come to bloom.

Spring is most definitely my favorite time of year. We’ve already started to see more bunnies hopping around the yard and things are trying to bloom.

Unfortunately, the brutal winter storm did kill the majority of my tulips and completely killed my daffodils that bloomed for the first time in nearly 3 years in this house. The saddest casualty may be my peach tree. I’d always wanted to have one in the yard, saw it as a good omen when we bought the house and have enjoyed every season with may be now a total loss. I’m trying to give her a little more time to see what’s going to happen.

With all of that being said, I think that’s really the main reason why I’m feeling a bit more “flowery” these days.

*Supply List*

Ornate Style Stamp Set

Ornate Border Dies

Stitched Rectangle Dies

Silver Foil Sheets

In Color 6×6 DSP

Blackberry Bliss Stripped Ribbon

*Cardstock*

Sand & Sea Card

Good morning and welcome to another edition of Cards and Creations by Lori McBride. My name is Lori McBride and I’m a Stampin’ Up Independent Demonstrator from Joshua, TX.

Today, I’d like to share with you a card that I created using the Sand and Sea Suite from the January-June Mini Catalog along with some other goodies that already existed in my craft room.

*Disclosure*

Before we begin, I would like to make this very clear. This design wasn’t fully designed by me. I originally found the idea on Pinterest as I struggled with a design concept for the Sand & Sea Suite. I’m accrediting the idea of this card to Cheri’s Cards on Pinterest.

I will also state that this is not a “true case” meaning that I have added my own personal touches to this to make it my own.

As the weather begins to warm up here in North Texas my mind can not stop itself from wandering to the sun on my face, toes in the sand and salty air.

*Supply List*

Sand & Sea Suite

Tasteful Labels Dies

Smooth Sailing Dies

Love You Always Foil Sheets

Forever Fernery Trim Combo Pack

Gold Hoops Embellishments

*Cardstock*

Sahara Sand

Blushing Bride

Basic White

Vellum

*Inks*

Blushing Bride

Sahara Sand

Rococo Rose

*Adhesives*

Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Mini Glue Dots

Stampin’ Dimensionals

Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals

*Other Helpful Tools*

Take Your Pick Tool

Bone Folder

Paper Snips

Stampin’ Trimmer

Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine

*Measurements*

Cardbase – Sahara Sand – 4 1/4″×11″ scored at 5 1/2″

Matte Base – Blushing Bride – 4″×5 1/4″

Mount Base – Sahara Sand – 3 3/4″×5″

Foil Sheets – 1 1/4″×4 3/4″

*Assembly Instructions*

The first thing I did was emboss the foil sheets using the 3D Embossing Folder from the Sand & Sea Suite and adhere them down to the mount base cardstock. I also adhered the mount base to the matte base.

By doing this you give yourself a solid foundation to continue to build your card front.

*TIP*

I did not emboss the foil sheets all at once. I embossed them in sections to ensure proper alignment.

*Instructions Continued*

I trimmed a piece of the Forever Fernery Ribbon and pulled a couple of the threads up to scrunch the fabric and glued them to the gold hoop embellishments with Mini Glue Dots.

I applied Stampin’ Seal Adhesive to the embossed card front to where the scrunched ribbon would hide the adhesive and secured the hoop in place.

*TIP*

Do not pull the thread all the way through the ribbon. The pulled threads are no big deal. Once the loop is secured to the card front you can trim them away.

I stamped the “love you” sentiment on a scrap of Basic White Cardstock and used the Tasteful Labels Dies to die cut it out. I also stamped the seashells and die cut them out using the Seashell Dies from the Sand & Sea Suite and die cut the seagrass using the Sail Away Dies and Vellum.

*Final Assembly*

To complete this card I collaged the seashells using Stampin’ Dimensionals, Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals and Mini Glue Dots and added the Opal Pearls from the Sand & Sea Suite.

The final step was separating the seagrass using a pair of paper snips and adhering them in place using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

*Inside Cardbase*

For the inside of this card, I stamped the “unique” sentiment and seashell in Blushing Bride and the sand in Sahara Sand.

*Final Thoughts*

Another great thought I had while working on this card is the retired Sea of Textures Stamp Set and Dies. I may just for laughs and giggles pull them out just to play.
