Fold Flat Gift Box Tutorial

Today’s project is a fold-flat gift box sized to fit a 3oz Travel Size Body Lotion/Wash from Bath & Body Works!

Here’s a closer look at the top:

Here’s a different angle:

Here’s how the body lotion fits in the box:

And here’s how the box folds flat, ready to use when you need it!

I was inspired by fellow German demonstrator Conni Richter’s project HERE and figured out the dimensions to fit the travel size lotion/wash from Bath & Body Works.

Without further ado, here’s my video tutorial:

Good Friends & Great Adventures

Today’s project is a quick & easy card featuring the Silhouette Scenes stamp set with the See A Silhouette Designer Series Paper!

Another ‘to die for’ Designer Series Paper! I let it take the show on this card too. And you know what’s funny? I almost always make 2 of every card I make. When I was adhering the DSP layer – I fell in love with the back side of this pattern:

So, here’s the pair of them:

Which one do you like the best? As some of you have heard me tell the story before – heat embossing was my “gateway drug” into paper crafting and the “Embossing Buddy” was my “gateway drug” into all things Stampin’ Up! That all happened around 10 years ago, and I’ve never looked back – just wish I found Stampin’ Up! sooner! So, I’ve been on a heat embossing kick lately and really love the pop of white against a bold color!

I really love the sentiment… it reminds me of all the friends Stampin’ Up! has brought into my life and all the wonderful adventures I’ve experienced since I purchased the Starter Kit in 2010! It’s truly been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made and I’d love to share it with you! You’ve got nothing to lose and so much to gain by something so simple as adding $155 of product to your $99 Starter Kit! Trust me on this – it’s the BEST DECISION EVER.

Vacation – InKing Royalty Blog Hop

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s August Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word – and this month our projects are centered around VACATION.

After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

My project for today features the Tropical Chic stamp set! And if I could give vacation a card, it would be this one! As in, “Vacation, you are the greatest!” Can I get an amen?

Here’s another angle to showcase the gold embossing:

I don’t know about you, but I love a good tropical vacation! Put me by the pool with some good books in tropical weather and I’m in heaven!

Best Catch Ever!

Today’s project features the Best Catch stamp set!

This is the anniversary card I made for Bryan! He’s not really a fisherman, but he is the best catch ever! 😉 We had a great weekend celebrating our 12th anniversary! Here’s a pic before we had a wonderful dinner and night out!

Back to the card! I used my Stampin’ Blends to color the fish – is it a trout or a bass? I have no idea – LOL! At first, my coloring looked terrible, so I used the Color Lifter to try to blend in and lighten everything and, in the end, I think it turned out okay! After I told Bryan about it, he said, “YOU colored that?” Then, I puffed my chest a little and claimed my artistic masterpiece – LOL! Stampin’ Blends really do make us all look like artists, don’t they? I love them!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful & blessed day!
