Today, on this very first day of the availability of the Holiday Catalog, I would like to share with you a gift box that I made using the *Snowflake Splendor Suite (Item #155115)
*Supply List*
Snowflake Splendor Suite
Pacific Point Classic Ink
Stampin’ Seal +
Adhesive Sheets
Stampin’ Dimensionals
Balmy Blue Cardstock
Whisper White Cardstock
*Measurements*
DSP (2 Pieces) 4 3/4″×3 1/2″
DSP (2pieces) 1 1/4″×4 3/4″
*Assembly Instructions*
Score 8 1/2″ x 11″ cardstock on the Landscape (long side) Side at 1 1/2″, 5 1/4″, 6 3/4″ and 10 1/2″
Rotate to Portrait (short side) and score at 1 1/2″ and 6 1/2″
Remove small rectangle from the 1/2″ at both ends.
Cut up to the scorelines and wedge your squares but leave your rectangles in tact.
Fold and burnish all of your score lines using your Bone Folder.
Using your Stampin’ Seal + fold and seal your ends but leave the top open. The Snowflake Splendor Ribbon will actually close and secure your box.
Using your die cutting machine run your Dies through your machine with scraps of Whisper White Cardstock and the Balmy Blue Glitter Paper provided in the Suite.
*NOTE*
This is where I used the Adhesive Sheets.
I stamped the “Snowflake Wishes” sentiment in Pacific Point Ink, adhered the Balmy Blue Glitter tag to the front and fussy cut around it.
I placed and adhered down the individual die cut snowflakes. I popped the tag up using Stampin’ Dimensionals and popped that stinker right to the front of the box.
I wrapped the Snowflake Splendor Ribbon around the box and tied a bow. Using my Take Your Pick Tool, I placed three of the Blue Adhesive Backed Gems.
*Special Note*
The inspiration for this project came after watching Sam Hammond’s aka Pootles Crafts out of the UK. If I’m not explaining how to do this box correctly Sam has an outstanding tutorial video making the same box using the Coming Home Suite. Sam, if you ever have a chance to read this Thank You for your inspiration for this project.
Thank you all for reading along today. I hope you’ll join me again soon. For these products and the many more wonderful products that Stampin’ Up! has to offer in our new holiday catalog please visit my website at:
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.
Today, I’d like to share with you this Cocktail Box that I made for a friend of mine’s daughter who just celebrated her 21st birthday.
Now, I’m not even going to fool around with ya’ll. I didn’t use a template to create this one. The best thing I can do is tell ya’ll what I used and the final dimensions of the finished product.
*Supplies*
Magenta Madness Cardstock 8 1/2×11″
It’s Better Than Bundle
Stitched Nested Dies
Momento Black Ink
Stampin’ Dimensionals
Tear and Tape
Adhesive Sheets

The DSP measures 2 – 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ pieces for the front panels
The DSP measures 2 3/4″ x 3 1/2″
*Basic Assembly Instructions*
Before I really begin on trying to explain how I made this stinker, I thought I’d share what the printed gusseted cellophane bag actually contains. The box contains four sampler bottles of premium spirits and a $50.00 gift card.
Contents of Cellophane Bag
I began with a full sheet of Magenta Madness Cardstock scored at 3/4″, 2 3/4″, 6 3/4″ on the Portrait side. (Short Side)
Rotate the Cardstock to the Landscape (Long Side) and score at 3 3/4″ and 6 3/4″.
Trim off the 3/4″ score all together.
On the Landscape side, you should have 2 rectangles and one square in between the rectangles. Cut up the scorelines to the scorelines.
Rotate your Cardstock to the other Landscape side and repeat cuts.
Add tear and tape assemble box or you could use Stampin’ Seal+. I used a little bit of both.
I used Stampin’ Seal to adhere front and side panels to the box.
Using the Stitched Nested Dies and a scrap of Whisper White Cardstock, I ran the nest through my die cutting machine and stamped the “Today Is” and “Day” sentiments in Momento Black Ink.
Using the Love You More Than Dies, a scrap of Magenta Madness Cardstock and Adhesive Sheets, I ran the “Cocktails” sentiment through my die cutting machine.
I removed the backing with my Take Your Pick Tool and adhered it directly down on the nest.
I stamped the cocktail image in Momento Black ink, again used the Love You More Than Dies and die cut the image using my machine. I hand colored the cocktail image with my Stampin’ Write Markers.
I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the nest and the cocktail image to secure them in place.
I also created a card to match her gift box using the same Bundle.

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.
Today I’d like to share with you this very simple but lovely card made with the *NEW* Detailed Dove Bundle.
Now, I’m not going to lie, this is a bit of a Catalog cheat. I couldn’t help it. When I saw this card I absolutely fell head over heels in love with it’s simple design. There are small differences and may be variations in products and colors used. One for example, (sorry Artisans) I like the standard A2 cardbases.
Supply List:
Soft Sea Foam Cardstock
Just Jade Cardstock
Whisper White Cardstock
Misty Moonlight Cardstock
Momento Black Ink
Misty Moonlight Ink
Just Jade Ink
Silver Foil Sheets
Vellum Sheets
Adhesive Sheets
World Maps Dies
Dove of Hope Bundle (Item #155158)
Stampin’ Dimensionals
Stampin’ Mini Dimensionals
Stampin’ Write Markers
*Assembly Instructions*
I began with our standard A2 Cardbase in Soft Sea Foam Cardstock.
The vellum was cut to measure 3″×5 1/2″
I stamped the dove image from the Dove of Hope Stamp Set in Momento Black Ink and die cut it using the Detailed Dove Dies. I hand colored the holly and berry with the Stampin’ Write Markers and added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back.
I trimmed and added Adhesive sheets to the back of Just Jade Cardstock ran the flourish die through the die cutting machine.
Using the World Map Dies (Annual Catalog #) I added Adhesive Sheet to the back of the Silver Foil and ran it through my die cutting machine. I also ran the solid circle die from the same die set through the die cutting machine in Misty Moonlight Cardstock.
I stamped the “Peace on Earth” sentiment twice. Once in Misty Moonlight Ink and Just Jade the second time.
Using a pair of paper snips, I separated the “On Earth” portion of the sentiment from the Just Jade stamped sentiment, put Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals on it and secured it over the top of the Misty Moonlight stamped sentiment.
*FINAL ASSEMBLY*
Using Stampin Seal I secured the vellum to the cardbase (kind of in the center where the Stampin’ Seal would be covered by the globe and dove) and secured the globe to the center of the vellum.
I removed the backings from the flourish and secured them both in place and removed the paper backing from the Stampin’ Mini Dimensionals to secure the dove in place.
For the inside of this card, I used two sentiments from the Dove of Hope Stamp Set. I stamped the “May your season be filled with the wonder and Blessings of Christmas” sentiment in Momento Black Ink and the “Peace Joy Love” sentiment towards the bottom of inside base in Poppy Parade Ink.
Thank you so much for joining me today. I hope you’ll join me again tomorrow as I continue my Christmas in July event.

I cut a piece of Whisper White Cardstock measuring 3 3/4″×5″ and stamped the Candles image from the Sweetest Time Stamp Set in Versamark and coated it with Gold Embossing Powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool. I stamped the flames on the candle in Bumblebee Ink.

Today, I’d like to share with you this card that I created using the *NEW* Peaceful Nativity Bundle from the new Holiday Mini Catalog.
Supplies:
Peaceful Nativity Bundle (Item #153310)
Snowflake Sequins
Stampin’ Write Markers
Whisper White Cardstock
Misty Moonlight Cardstock
Cinnamon Cider Cardstock
Old Olive Cardstock
Silver Foil
White Embossing Powder

Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals

Seaside Spray Ink
Momento Black Ink
Versamark
Sponge Daubers
Take Your Pick Tool
Assembly Instructions:
I started with our standard A2 Cardbase in Misty Moonlight Cardstock.
I used our Whisper White Cardstock measuring 4″×5 1/4″ and sponge daubers to blend Seaside Spray Ink (bottom) and Misty Moonlight Ink (bottom) together.
I stamped top portion of manger, Mary, Joesph and Baby Jesus. Sheep and Donkey in Momento Black Ink and used the Nativity Dies to cut them. I hand colored and highlighted them with the Stampin’ Write Markers.
I die cut the palm trees and back portion of the manger using my Nativity Dies.
I used Versamark, white embossing powder and heat tool to heat emboss the sentiment from the Peaceful Nativity Stamp Set.
I used Mini Glue Dots to adhere the top and bottom portion of the manger together and used Multipurpose Liquid Glue adhere the manger to the Matte Base of the card.
*TIP* Before I adhered the manger down I glued the layers of the palm trees together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and adhered them to the Matte Base using the manger and heat embossed sentiment as a guide for placement.
I secured Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus to the bottom of the manger with Stampin’ Dimensionals and secured the silver star to the top of the manger with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Using my the putty end of my Take Your Pick Tool I picked up the Snowflake Sequins and placed them on the Mini Glue Dots and used the piercer end of the tool to remove and place randomly in the empty spaces around the Nativity Scene.
For the inside of this card I cut Whisper White Cardstock to measure 4″×5 1/4″ and used a sentiment from the Unto Us Stamp Set (Item #153335)

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.
Today, I’d like to share with you this card I created using the Fireside Trimmings Bundle and just a handful of other Stampin’ Up products.
Before I really get started, I just have to say, this is a very diverse bundle that I’ve really enjoyed working with. I’ll definitely have more using this bundle as we move closer to the holidays.
Fireside Trimmings Bundle Item #155205
Heartwarming Hugs DSP Item #155145
Whisper White Cardstock
Real Red Cardstock
Bumblebee Cardstock
Mossy Meadow Cardstock
Gold Foil
Mossy Meadow Classic Ink Pad
Stampin’ Write Markers
Stampin’ Seal
Multipurpose Liquid Glue
Adhesive Sheets
Mini Glue Dots
Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals
Red Rhinestones
Momento Black Ink
I started by Stamping, Coloring and die cutting all of the pieces out. On some of the smaller, more intricate pieces such as the little thingamajig that holds the wood inside of the fireplace and the holly garland, I strongly recommend using the Adhesive Sheets.
The fire is die cut into three pieces using the Fireside Dies so they’ll need to be pieced together with Mini Glue Dots. I used Mini Glue Dots to secure the flames to the wood and put a couple of Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to add dimension to the fireplace.
The lantern and the candle are also two separate pieces. Again, I used Mini Glue Dots to adhere the two together and added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the lantern to add interest.
The reindeer was all one piece so I just added a couple Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the reindeer.
The beautiful part of the new Adhesive Sheets is that you remove the backing and attach it right to the mantel of the fireplace. But as I was putting this stinker together, it just simply needed a little extra something. I decided to add the Red Rhinestones in substitution for holly berries.
Finally I cut Real Red Cardstock to 4 1/2″× 11″ and scored it in half to create the card base. The DSP was cut 3″×5 1/2″. The DSP was attached to the card base with Stampin’ Seal and then the fireplace was attached to the DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I then removed the paper backings from the pieces that had Stampin’ Mini Dimensionals and secured them in place.
My final touch was adding a Red Rhinestone to the tip of that reindders nose and turning him into a Rudolph.
Thank you so much for reading along today. I hope you’ll join me again tomorrow as I continue my Christmas In July event.
