Eden's Garden cards & box

Check out my one sheet wonder cards I made using the 
NEW Eden's Garden stamp set!
I also made a little box to hold all of these cards too!
 
How did I do this?
1.  I just stamped in the center of a 8 1/2 x 11" piece of Basic White card stock, doing vertically & then horizontally.
 
2. I then cut this into 1/2 at 4 1/4" & then at 5 1/2".  That gave me 4 separate pieces that all measure 4 1/4 x 5 1/2".
3.  I then cut 1/2" off of each of the outside edges on all 4 sides of each of these rectangles.  When they are trimmed down they will each measure- 3 3/4 x 5".
 So what do you think?
Neat huh!

Here are the supplies & measurements.
stamp set:  Eden's Garden
card stock:
  • Evening Evergreen- Vertical= 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4"- fold in half for card base; Horizontal= 4 1/4 x 11"- score at 5 1/2"- fold in half for card base
  • Soft Succulent- 4 x 5 1/4"
  • Basic White- 3 3/4 x 5"- this is piece that has leaves/vines/berries stamped onto it
  • Ever Eden Paper- Vertical= 1 x 4"- tear in half & use under strip on both vertical cards; Horizontal= 1 x 5 1/4"- tear in half & use under strip on both horizontal cards.
  • Evening Evergreen-Vertical= 3/4 x 4"; Horizontal= 3/4 x 5 1/4"
  • Soft Succulent- 2 1/2" strip- punch out using Label Me Lovely Punch
  • Evening Evergreen- 2 1/4" strip- die cut circle
  • Basic White-2" strip- stamp words & die cut with circle or punch out using the Tailored Tag Punch
  • Basic White- 4 x 5 1/4"- for inside of card
ink:  Evening Evergreen
other:  Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine; Layering Circle Dies; Tailored Tag Punch; Labely Me Lovely Punch; 2021-2023 In Color Gems (Evening Evergreen); Soft Succulent Ribbon; dimensionals; glue dots

I also made a little box that will hold all 4 of these cards, plus the envelopes!
Isn't it CUTE!
I just wrapped a 1 x 12" pieces of DSP around the box
& decorated it using the Seasonal Label Dies.
 Here is the pattern if you want to make this box.
  • Soft Succulent CS- 8 1/2 x 11"-score @ 2 3/4", 3 1/4", 7 3/4" & 8 1/4".
  • Turn & score at 1/2", 1", 7" & 7 1/2".
  • Then CUT OUT the 4 corners on the top & bottom both as shown by the shaded areas.
  • Add Tear & Tape along the one edge & bottom edge & fold.
NOTE:  The top flap is the little longer end
& this is shown in the pattern on the bottom side. 
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
I hope you come again.
I post something new each day!!
Happy Stamping!

& perfect for this card.

Time of Giving Bundle

 This is just sooo pretty!!
I just LOVE blue & snowflakes & this card is just awesome!
I used the 'Time of Giving' Bundle on pg. 61 in the Holiday Mini Catalog.

This is a faux shaker card made with a Clear Envelope (50)-
#102619= $6.00- pg. 136 Annual Catalog.
It is so easy, so fun & so cool!
 
How did I do it?
  1. Add DSP to the inside of the clear envelope....putting it down into a corner.
  2. Fold over clear envelope on the backside & tape it down tight.  I used Tear & Tape to hold this.
  3. Add a little bit of the Subtles Shimmer Sequins.
  4. Seal the top shut.
  5. Add the snowflake die cut card stock piece over the top of the shaker using the Foam Adhesive Strips.
  6. I used the Tear & Tape again to stick the shaker/envelope to the Night of Navy card base.
  7. Then decorated the front with a little strip of Night of Navy DSP & some words over the top of it.
  8. Don't forget to add a little ribbon!

Last week I was blessed to have our Sister-In-Law Sheryl here to stay with us & visit.
We stamped a lot!
And it was so much fun!
She helped me with lots of projects that I working on for my annual team retreat.

This snowflake shaker card is one of the cards we made together.

I found this cute glass votive at Dollar Tree
& wrapped some snowflakes around it!

What a fun & simple project this is!
This votive would work great to hold some of your stamping supplies too-
liquid glue, scissors, bone folder, piercing tool, etc....
Don't you think that this is cool!!
I used the snowflake from the Giving Gifts Dies!
Here are the supplies & measurements.
 
How did I do it?
Basic White- 2 1/4 x 9"- die cut the snowflakes 3 different times & then wrap it around the votive.  I attached it using liquid glue & rolled up glue dots.  
Other Stampin' Up! supplies I used- Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine; Giving Gifts Dies; Basic Rhinetones

NOTE:  This glass votive was a little smaller at the bottom than it was around the top edge.  So I snipped the Basic White Snowflake strip along the bottom edge in 2 spots on the snowflake rectangle seam & it then fit perfectly!!

I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!!
Happy Stamping!
