A blogging break…

Just a quick post to let you know I’ll be taking a blogging break until June 1! I’m taking some time to be with my family for the Memorial Day holiday and will be back to my normal blogging schedule June 1 with the launch of the new catalog! Yay!

I will be having my Weekly Wednesday Facebook Live on May 30, so be sure to tune into my Facebook Page at 8pm EST!

If you need anything in the meantime, I’ll be responding to emails as I am able. Don’t forget to take advantage of any retiring items (some at a discount) before they’re gone May 31!

I hope you all have a restful Memorial Day holiday! Thank you for being a Paper Pixie fan – I am honored and so grateful! I look forward to the new catalog year! Big hugs to you! ❤

No Glue Treat Box for Ghirardelli Squares

Today’s project is a quick share of a treat box we created at my monthly class this week – it’s a “no glue treat box” that holds 2 Ghirardelli Squares perfectly!

Here’s another angle:

And a top view:

And here’s what this box looks like open:

You can create a whole stash of these to have on hand because they’ll lay flat until you’re ready to put them together!

I’d like to thank fellow UK demonstrator Linda Parker for this idea, which she resized from a Sam Donald (Pootles) project!

Here’s a template I created:

I Gotta Feeling – InKing Royalty Blog Hop

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s May Blog Hop! We are grinning from ear-to-ear with excitement over all the amazing, new products from Stampin’ Up!’s 2018 Annual Catalog – and you’re going to love what we are sharing today. Today’s Blog Hop is filled with projects that offer sneak peeks at new products from the upcoming catalog. What fun! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

I had some fun with one of the new Memories & More card packs that will be available in the new Annual Catalog – the Delightfully Detailed Memories & More Card Pack! I whipped up a set of 5 mini cards using an assortment of sentiments from the smaller cards in the card pack:

Here’s a close-up of card #1:

Here’s a close-up of card #2:

Here’s a close-up of card #3:

Here’s a close-up of card #4:

Here’s a close-up of card #5:

Which one is your favorite? These were so easy & fun to put together! There’s no stamping involved – just layers of paper and a few embellishments. Perfect for my stash of mini cards!

Statement of My Heart Impossible Card

Today’s card is a quick share of an “impossible card” featuring the Statement of My Heart stamp set and the Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper!

Here’s a different angle:

These are so incredibly easy to make, but really look impossible! It’s kind of an optical illusion to be honest! Here’s a quick template for you, but I think I may need to do a video for you 😉.

The darker lines are where you make the cuts in the cardstock (after scoring). I have a little trick to cut out the DSP panels without a lot of waste, so stay tuned for that!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you didn’t miss me too much yesterday – I decided to enjoy Mother’s Day fully and didn’t get a blog post out yesterday! Be sure to stop by tomorrow for the InKing Royalty blog hop! I hope you have a wonderful & blessed day!
