Toile Tidings Large Chocolate Truffle Box

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you the Large Chocolate Truffle Box that I made during last nights Facebook Live.  I do a Facebook Live each Wednesday at 8 pm CST on my Facebook Business Page.  This is a large box that's holds a half a  bag of Lintz or Moser Roth Truffles.  This box measures 7" x 2" x 2", so you can see it's a great size for gift giving.  For my project today I used the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper to decorate my box.  Here's a look at my project.


As I mentioned I used the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper to decorate my box today.  The base of the box was made with cardstock.  I used either Real Red or Garden Green for the base and then the other color for the mats for the designer series paper.  I used the same color of the box base for the designer series paper.  With the Toile Tidings it was super easy to pick which color to use.  There are only three colors in the designer series paper; Very Vanilla, Real Red, and Garden Green.  The same pattern is on each side of the paper but in either Very Vanilla and Real Red or Very Vanilla and Garden Green so it makes creating super easy.
The Real Red version was the first one that I made for my Facebook Live.  I used the 1" Real Red Ruched Ribbon to tie the box close.  This box uses one full sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock to make the base.  I scored the base cardstock on the short side at (on the 8 1/2" side) at 2, 4, 6, and 8.  On the long side (11" side) I scored at 2" and 9".
The box was decorated with three pieces of cardstock (cut at 6 3/4 x 1 3/4) for the front, top, and back.  The two side mats were cut at 1 3/4 x 1 3/4.  The Designer Series Paper for the box was cut at 6 1/2 x 1 1/2" (you need three) and 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 (you need two).  To add a little more decoration I used ribbon to secure it close.  I used the Garden Green Double Stitched Ribbon and the Very Vanilla & Copper Classic Weave Ribbon on the Garden Green Box.

Blogging Friends November Blog Hop: Celebrate with Some Christmas Cheer

Hello and welcome to my blog today, and the November Blogging Friends Blog Hop!  This month our theme is Celebrate with Some Christmas Cheer.  When I came up with this month's theme I had something different in mind than what I came up with for this month's project.  I didn't know at the time I came up with the theme that Stampin' Up! would be releasing a limited time suite that was just perfect for this theme.  But, they says things happen for a reason and this was so true with this theme and the limited time Christmastime is Here Suite of products that went live in my online store today.  Here's a look at my projects.

Yes, I did say projects; I really love this suite of products and created an entire gift set with the products from this suite.  I started out by creating a card using the Christmas Rose Stamp Sets, matching dies, Christmastime is Here Designer Series Paper and other products in this suite.
  The Christmas Rose Stamp set is a dual configuration set; meaning one stamp set is clear mount red rubber and the other is Photopolymer.  The Red rubber cling stamp is the outline of the rose bouquet.  The photopolymer set is the layering set to fill in your outlined images.  This set works best with the stamparatus, so that you can get perfect placement with your stamped layers.  I used a piece of the designer series paper in the background of my card.
Next for the gift set I made a bow using the designer series paper.  I used the bow to decorate my little gift bag.  I also created a matching tag to go along with the bow and gift bag.  I love the look of brown paper mixed with pretty paper at Christmas Time.  I did a video on how to create paper bows a few weeks ago I will share that with you as well so that you can make your own.

To me there's not a better way to celebrate Christmas Cheer than with a gift set.  Because after all isn't this truly a time to share the joy of giving during the holiday season, so why not have a few gift sets made and ready to go.  Plus with the limited time Christmastime is Here Suite (available while supplies last) you will be totally ready to go during the holiday season.  Thanks for dropping by I hope that you have a wonderful day.

New Stampin' Up! Paper Trimmer


Hello and welcome back to my blog today; Papercrafting begins with a beautiful first cut, which means having the right tool for the job is kind of a big deal.  Well, do I have the tool for you!  Get your hands on the new Paper Trimmer.  I wanted to take a little time and talk to you about the new Stampin' Up! Trimmer that will be available starting November 1, 2019.  Yes, it will be available in time to wrap and put under the Christmas Tree.  I have been playing with this new trimmer all month long (one of the perks of being a demonstrator); and I am loving it.  I have used the blade that came with it all month long and haven't had to change it one time.  And, believe me I cut a lot of cardstock, glimmer paper, and window sheets with it over the last month.  I've tried my best to give it a good work out before I would even share any real information with you.  I know if you have followed me you have seen it used in my Facebook Lives, and other videos.  But, like I said I haven't really talked about it because I wanted to give it a good once over before I did.  Here's a look at the trimmer a little closer up.

I hope that you have found my little post about the New Stampin' Up! Trimmer helpful.  I have been extremely pleased with it since I've gotten mine.  And even more pleased that I have not had to change the blade once this entire month and it's still cutting just as it did on day one.  If you have a one of the old trimmers and some blades use those up until you need a new trimmer and I am happy to help you get one of the new ones at that time.  But If you are in the market for a new trimmer or want to have one under the Christmas tree let me know and I am happy to help you get one on November 1st.  The trimmer will be available November 1st, but Stampin' Up! is holding off on releasing the blade replacements until later on.  No there's not anything wrong with them, they just sold better than they expected during the demonstrator preorder.  So, Stampin' Up! wants to hold off until they have a large enough supply built up to accommodate the orders that may come in later on.  But as I mentioned above I've been on the same blade all month and it's still going strong.

Thanks for dropping by I will see you again in the morning for a fun Halloween post.

Happy Stampin'
