Color Me Christmas Treat Box Tutorial

I like to make little treats for each of my family members for the holidays. So here is my latest “pillow gift” that I made for the family using the Color Me Christmas stamp set. Each Treat Box is filled with a chocolate for them to enjoy Christmas morning.

Color Me Christmas Treat Box   (2)

You can check out my earlier video Spring Sampler Treat Box Video Tutorial below to see how the basic box was made.

I used a piece of our 7/16″ Trim to create the band that keeps the box closed and hid the seam with my image.

Lots of Thanks File Folder Card

Last week I shared with you how much fun it is to use the Envelope Punch Board to make a file folder card. Well today I’m going to share another card I created using the Envelope Punch Board. This one is a double tab file folder card I made using the Lots of Thanks Stamp Set and the Magnificent Maple single stamp that you can find in the Holiday Catalog.

File Folder Card #2

This card also uses the Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper – if you haven’t already gotten some for yourself there is still time. I think you’ll love working with these patterns and colors just as much as I do. The Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper is  great for masculine cards along with all your fall and winter cards that you’ll be making. You’ve seen me use it on other cards that you can find in some of my earlier posts.

I really liked the way this card turned out and it seems so did my friends during our Stamp Diva meeting. So today I thought I would share a video I made for you on how to create this card – I’ve called it File Folder Card #2.

An original title right? Well this title, while not terribly original, gives you a hint that there are more File Folder Card Video Tutorials to come each containing a different style – LOL. So watch for the next one soon.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Lots of Thanks (129687/129690) and Magnificent Maple (131868)

Inks: Tangerine Tango (126946), Crushed Curry (131173), Chocolate Chip (126979), and Sahara Sand (126976)

Paper:  Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper (132184), Crushed Curry (131199) and Very Vanilla Card Stock (101650)

Accessories: Envelope Punch Board (133774), Stampin’ Trimmer (126889), Multipurpose Liquid Glue (110755), 7/16” Natural Trim (129287)

Magnificent Maple Extended Flip Card

This past week a very special childhood friend of mine celebrated his 81st birthday and I wanted to make him a card he’d flip over – so I made this Magnificent Maple Extended Flip Card for him using our new Circle Card Thinlits Die and the Magnificent Maple single stamp from the Holiday Catalog.

Extended Flip Card front

I thought it would be fun to use the Circle Card Thinlits Die since it makes flip or swing cards so easy to make. And I couldn’t resist adding a bit of “bling” to make it extra special, since Dick has been like a second father to me over the years and always makes me smile. I love getting together with him and hearing his latest joke or funny story. I’m sorry to say it just doesn’t happen frequent enough now a days.

Extended Flip Card Open (1)

Because I wanted to have a little more room to sign this card I created this extended flip card. Want to know how I did it? I made a quick video to show you how – How to Make an Extended Flip Card.

And while I was at it I made a quick tutorial to show you how I created the extended flip card too. Hope you enjoy it!

Magnificent Maple Extended Flip Card Tutorial (PDF)

I think you’ll find these cards so much fun to make you’ll want both the Card Thinlits Dies. After all who can resist the Circle Card or Label Card Thinlits Dies and all the extra pieces they come with?
