Free as a Bird Pinch Box with Stampin' Up

Hi Friends!

Today I have made a large Pinch Box and used the Free as a Bird stamp set along with Best Dressed Designer Series Paper.

You Can See My Video Tutorial HERE

I started with a piece of Daffodil Delight that was  8 x 10 1/2".

I scored the 10 1/2" side at:

1/2,  4 1/2,  6 and 10"

I scored the 8" side at:

1 1/2 and 6 /2"

I Burnished the Score Lines and cut the shape I needed for the box.  You Can See My Video Tutorial HERE.

Then I glued the box together with Liquid Glue.

I stamped the Bird image from the Free as a Bird stamp set and colored it with a Blender Pen and Stampin' Pad colors:

Crumb Cake, Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and Rococo Rose

I attached 2 pieces of Best Dressed DSP to the front and back of the box measuring  3 3/4 x 4 3/4".

I fussy cut the bird image and attached it (with dimentionals) to a piece of the flip side of the DSP that was 4 1/4  x 2".

I attached that panel on to a piece of Daffodil Delight measuring  4 1/2  x 2 1/4".

Then I attached the entire panel to the Pinch Box with Dimensionals.

I put some Wink of Stella on flowers in the image and the finished off by tying 1/4" Daffodil Delight Ruched Ribbon.

Free as a Bird Thank You Card

     Hi Friends!

The project I have for today is a card made with the pretty Free as a Bird stamp set along with Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper.

You Can Watch My Video Tutorial HERE.

I used Pool Party Cardstock for the Card Base and tag I mounted on the card.  The Background is a  4 x 5 1/4"  piece of Bird Ballad DSP.  The piece of Pool Party I made the tag with is 2 x 4 1/4".  The 1 3/4 x 3 1/8" piece of polka dot paper is also from the Bird Ballad DSP.

The FREE AS A BIRD stamp set is NOT RETIRING. Just the Bird Ballad paper is. So sorry about that.

 I stamped the bird, branches and flowers from the Free as a Bird set.  I colored them with a Blender Pen using Crumb Cake, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Stampin' Pads.

I took the  2 x 4 1/4" piece of Pool Party and punched it with the Delightful Tag Topper Punch.
I stamped the Sentiment on the top and attached the Polka Dot paper.

I attached the Birds and Branches with glue first.
Then I attached the flowers and put Metallic Pearls on.
I put some Wink of Stella on the flower petals and tied the Pool Party Ribbon in the top of the tag.

Fold Over Box for Markers with Stampin' Up

Hi Friends,

Today I made a Fold Over Box to fit some adorable markers I found at Walmart in the party section.

I used the Cactus Image from the Witty-Cisms stamp set and some Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper.

You can see my Video Tutorial HERE

I used a piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock sized at 9 x 4 3/4".

I Scored the long side at 1, 4, 5 and 8"

I scored the short side at`1 and 3 3/4"

I then Burnished the scores and cut pieces to form the box.  You can see my video tutorial HERE.

From the Bird Ballad DSP I cut:

(1) 2 3/4 x 2 1/2"

(2) 2 1/2 x 3/4"

(2) 2 3/4 x 3/4"

and attached them to the box

 I stamped the Cactus image from the Witty-Cisms stamp set on a piece of Whisper White Cardstock sized 1 3/4 x 1 3/4"  and colored it with a Blender Pen and Old Olive Stampin' Pad.  Then I mounted it with Dimensionals on a piece of 2 x 2" Daffodil Delight.  I attached it to the front of the box with some more Dimensionals.  Finally I wrapped the box with Linen Thread.

I also made this box with Blushing Bride Cardstock and Best Dressed DSP.  I used the Thoughtful Blooms Stamp and Punch set.  I tied Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon.

Strawberry Box for Ferraro Rocher with Stampin' Up

Hi Friends,

Today I made an Adorable box shaped like a Strawberry.  I sized it to fit a Ferraro Rocher.

You Can See My Video Tutorial HERE.

I used a 6" bowl as a pattern to draw a circle on a piece of Brights 6 x 6 DSP.  You can use a smaller or larger plate or bowl for your pattern.  It will make your Strawberry bigger or smaller.

Next I folded the circe in a half circle, then fold it in half 2 more times.

Then cut the end that it not pointy into a petal shape.  You can see my Video here  to illustrate how to do it.

Leaving it still folded up, punch a hole through all the layers with a small hole punch.  If you don't have a heavy duty punch do a section or 2 at a time, then make a pencil mark on the next section and so on.  Then I opened up the circle and cut of two of the sections.  I glued the first section to the last section to join.

Once the Berry Bottom glue has dried I threaded a piece of Linen Thread through each hole punched going from outside to inside on EACH hole.  Put whatever you want inside in the Berry now (I put chocolate).  Gently pull the two ends of the Thread until the Strawberry takes shape and tie a once over knot.

To make the Strawberry top I used the Medium Daisy Punch. I punched 1 out of Mossy Meadow Cardstock and 1 out of Pear Pizzaz Cardstock .  Place a dot of glue on the daisy color you want on the bottom and attach them together offsetting the petals.  Punch a hole in the middle of the flowers.  Use the Linen Thread attached to the bottom of the Strawberry to put through the hole in the Daisies.

I used a piece of Whisper White Cardstock to stamp the sentiment from A Wish for Everything stamp set.  Then I backed it with a piece of Real Red Cardstock.  I added some Metallic Pearls, punched a hole and threaded it  onto the Linen Thread and tied a bow.

I originally saw a version of this a few years ago on Red Ted Art.
