Hello and welcome to my second blog post for today; I wanted to take a little time and share with you the project that I made last night during my weekly Facebook Live. Each Wednesday at 8 pm CST I do a Facebook Live on my business page showcasing a different project. This week I wanted to share a project using the From My Heart Suite. Roses are red, violets are blue; this product suite was designed just for you! Celebrate your sweetheart with the From My Heart Suite Bundle. With bursts of hearts, traditional Valentine’s Day colors, and pops of pretty foil, your handmade creations will speak from the heart this Valentine’s Day. The heart craft punches perfectly align with some of the images on the Designer Series Paper and stamps. Use the ribbon, gems, doilies, and tins to create to your heart’s content! This suite of products goes live tomorrow with all the other great wonderful products in the Stampin' Up! Mini Catalog. Here's a look at my project.
Tips & Tricks:
This was a extremely easy box to put together once I figured the measurements. The trick to figuring out what size you need is to measure the items that you are going to put in it. I always measure height, width, and depth. Then at that point it's pretty easy to figure out. For my box I needed a 5 1/4 x 8 1/4" piece of cardstock.
I designed my project to hold two regular size Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. They are stacked up on top of each other. I started out on the 8 1/4" side of the cardstock and scored at 1 1/4, 3 1/2, 4 3/4, & 7. On the short side you score at 1 1/4 & 4". Once I had all the scoring done it was time to do a little folding and burnishing. Once I had the cardstock cut as shown in the video, I added my designer series paper first. I used a little of the From my Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper.
The playful heart patterns in the From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper have red and pink foil accents on some designs. Some images from the paper can be cut out using the Heart Punch Pack. This paper is excellent for valentines, cards, and scrapbook pages. After adding the paper I stamped the Happy Valentine's Heart from the Heartfelt Stamp Set and punched it out with the matching punch. I also punched out a scalloped heart using the other punch. I layered both hearts together and added a dimensional at the top of the heart and the bottom. This way once added to the top of the box the ribbon was still free to slide and tie easily.

Hello and welcome to this month's A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop; each month we come up and share alternative projects using the kit from that month. This month's kit was titled Something for Everything and came with a wonderful sentiment stamp set that has one for everything you can think of. I used a little additional cardstock to create my two projects this month.
I created a fun little tag topper box and this fun card using products from this month's kit as well as a few additional items. For my card I used half of one of the floral cards from the kit and some of the white crinkled seam binding from the new Mini Catalog that goes live tomorrow. I added the cut card base to a piece of Grapefruit grove cardstock that I embossed using the Basketweave 3d embossing folder. Before adding the crinkle seam binding I stamped on it to create some texture and to add a little more color. I used crushed curry but you could use any color you would like.
For my box I used some Shaded Spruce cardstock and made the box, and the left over half of the card base from before was cut down to make the sides of the box. I finished off the box with a little of the Terracotta Tile scalloped trim and a happy birthday banner.

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a couple alternative projects for the December Paper Pumpkin kit Something for Everything. Each month I love to create a few alternative projects to stretch the contents of my Paper Pumpkin kits. By creating alternative projects you can not only stretch your kits to make more projects and more cards using some additional cardstock and other supplies along with creating sometimes even doubling the contents of the kits. Here's a look at two alternatives that I came up with so far.
This month I used almost everything from this month's kit to create these two alternatives with the addition of two pieces of cardstock. I used a piece of Terracotta Tile and Crushed Curry Cardstock to create these two cards. Since you get two card bases from one sheet of cardstock I could have easily created two cards of the same design. I used one of the card bases from the December kit on my cards today. Well, two and a 2 1/4 of the cards in the kit.
For my first alternative card I cut a piece of Crushed Curry Cardstock in half at 4 1/4 x 11". I then cut the Green striped card base from the kit down. I started by cutting the front apart and cut the card front down to 2" x 4" and the back green piece of the card base down to 4 1/4 x 2 1/4". I then layered the two pieces together. I used the little flower image from this months stamp set all around the bottom of the card base in Crushed Curry Ink. I stamped in both 1st and 2nd generation stamping. I wrapped some whisper white baker's twine around my card base and tied a bow. I then added the crushed curry polka dot hexagon sticker from the kit on to the front of the card base. I added one of the gold foil stickers to the center of the hexagon, and stamped my sentiment on one of the banners. I popped the banner up on Stampin' dimensionals. I finished off this card by adding a Whisper White inside (4 x 5 1/4) and a few of the rhinestones that came in the December Kit.
For my second card I used a Terracotta Tile card base cut at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and layered the remaining striped card base to the front. I then took one of the flowery card bases and cut a tag using the tag die from the Bonanza Dies (new in the January - June Mini Catalog). I added the gold foil swirl onto the tag and then stamped the sentiment onto one of the banners and added it to the card front. I added some of the flower stickers to the card front along with some of the leaves. I added a couple of the small flowers to the card front and placed a few rhinestones to the center of them. I added a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of whisper white to the inside of the card.
