Washi tape tags class

Oh my goodness I absolutely LOVE washi tape!  This is really the first big project I have made with it.  I have added some here and there on other things but I was seriously giddy making the projects for this class.  It is seriously fun, easy, and addicting! 

 

If you would like to make these projects with me, my class is on Wednesday, November 13th at 7:00 ($13)

 

Ok well first off this is the super cute box.  Wouldn't this box be so fun to receive a gift in?  I know I would love it.  Well in my box I don't have a gift but Christmas Tags! 

 

You can see a sneak peak of the cards through the window sheet circle.  The red piece of washi tape is on the card in the box. 

 



 

I put 15 cards and envelopes in this box.  They fit great since they are flat!

I basically pulled out all the holiday themed greetings from my current stamp sets and got to work stamping. 

 



 

Can you spot the Christmas Trees?  Which tag is your favorite?

 

 

Thank you cards are a must at Christmas time right?  These tags are perfect, just a little thank you note.

 

These are the envelopes!  I wrapped the washi tape around the back so there is a bit on the back as well. 

 

If you haven't tried washi tape, you seriously are missing out!  Check out the other washi tape you can get in my online shop here and in the Holiday Catalog.

Fun Fall Class

Here are the fun cards we made at my friend's house.  It all started with the cards below, we made these at Convention this year and I fell in love with the simplicity and just had to re-create them! 

 

Here is the fun packaging, again I just cased the convention projects.  So fun and easy!

Pinwheel mini cards and card holders

I attended my downline Michelle's very first card class and she gave everyone a cute box filled completely with yummy candy and a banner... I should have taken a picture!  Well you will just have to imagine it, it was basically the box below without the 2 smaller banners and bow but with a cute banner on a toothpick sticking out of the box.  Well I have a hoarding problem because I have such a hard time getting rid of anything that is hand stamped!  (oh come on, you all know what I mean right? - good thing I give away a bunch of stuff each year at my anniversary party :)  So back to my story... I had this cute box displayed on my shelf for a while and then inspiration struck.  I had an event coming up and wanted to give a gift to the hostess... so I made this!

 

 

I took Michelle's beautiful box and added some Pool Party products to coordinate with my color theme and made some cute pinwheel cards to go inside...

 

I think I had 5 cards inside but I guess I only took a picture of 3 of them.  This event was back at the beginning of the year so I used the sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper for most of them.  and Voila, the cards and envelopes fit perfectly in the box!

 



 

I also wanted to give a little gift to my customers so I packaged some cards in celo bags...

 

Here is a picture of the front of one bag and the back of the other... I had the banner fold over to the other side and of course I had to show a different card on both sides :)

 

 

There you go, 2 fun ways to package 3x3 cards!  Wouldn't it be fun to receive either of these?

Oh Whale Box Tutorial using Fancy Favor Die

A few of my friends and I were chatting at leadership and we decided to have a combined downline meeting.  This meeting was AWESOME, I am so lucky to have such a fun group of friends!  It was so fun to meet some of the new demonstrators in our group, I love meeting new stamping friends, it is one of my favorite things about being a demonstrator. 

 

All 4 of us created a class for everyone to make at the meeting.  I was able to make a few cards and a box to hold them with the Sunshine and Sprinkles Suite.  Don't you just love the Oh Whale stamp set?  It is definitely a favorite of mine and combined with the Clearlit to cut out the whales it is just awesome.

 

So enough chatting... you want to see the box I made right?  I actually made 2 boxes and let my friends choose which one we should make that night, I will share the other box with you soon.  So here it is!  I was so proud of myself that I came up with this box on my own! 

 

 

 

Don't you just love the scallops on the top?  It reminds me of the waves in the ocean.  Would you like to make your own?  I have included a tutorial for you!  Yea! 

 

 

Box Directions:

1. Cut out 2 Fancy Favor Boxes, cut it down to size making sure to have 2 "sides" and 1 "front".  It should make a M shape.  You will then cut off a portion of the tabs so they are only 1 inch wide.

 

2. DONT FOLD ON ALL THE LINES!!!  Make sure when you fold it you have the scored lines facing "in" so you won't see them on the finished box.  Fold on the score lines for the tabs on the bottom and only the 2 lines on the left.  After folding on the 2 scored lines on the left, cut out the notch on the bottom left.

3. Add Sticky Strip on both sides of both pieces as seen below.

4. Start putting the box together, remove the red part on the sticky strip and put together as shown.

 

5. Attach the other tab with sticky strip to create the box shape.

6. Remove the backing to the sticky strip on the square and rectangle tabs.  Fold in the squares on the ends first, then fold in the rectangle part and glue together making right angles in the corners.
         

7.  Adhere the other tabs.

8.  Place the 1 1/6 x 5 3/16 inch strip of Basic Gray Cardstock inside the box to cover the sticky strip and add some stability to the box. 

9.  Congrats your box is complete!  Now you get to decorate it!

Happy Stamping!
