Punch Art Bunny Treat Holder

Well here we are on the home stretch to Easter.  Spring is here in the Midwest, but the cold lingers on for today anyway, the rest of the week it's suppose to be in the 70's!

While on the website for Stampin' Up! demonstrators, I came across this adorable little bunny treat holder.  Linda Parker, who created it, was kind enough to make a video to share with everyone!  You can view the video HERE.  It is about 25 minutes long, but worth the time to watch it.

I made mine to give to one of my clients and my one daughter saw it and wants three for her co-workers too.  So I'll be busy for the rest of the day making some.

Once you get your "basket" made and all the pieces punched out, it doesn't take very long to assemble.

I used Whisper White, Pink Pirouette and Pistachio Pudding.  Then your 2-1/2" circle punch, circle from the Itty Bitty Punch pack (retired), medium circle from the Owl Builder punch, Large, Extra Large Oval, scallop oval punches.  For the whiskers I used some baker's twine from the January Paper Pumpkin kit, but you could use any twine you have.  The ribbon is 1/8" Pink Pirouette (retired).  I made sure the last time I was at the grocery store to get Easter Hershery's Kisses.

Hope you give this cute little box a try,  Mary

One More Box with the Envelope Punch Board

Well, here we are again with another little box.  This one will hold one Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, yum!   This one I decorated for Christmas, but would be cute to put on your Thanksgiving table for favors too.

I used the Designers Series paper called Winter Frost Specialty paper, so pretty, love the different shades of blue in this with the light gray!  I used the retired Northern Frost sizzlits with Bermuda Bay, Pool Party and Silver Glimmer paper, attaching it to a belly band to keep the box closed but easy to slip off too.  You can go HERE to see the video and get the measurements.

Well now that I've probably got you all bored with all of my boxes, I'll move on to some cards next week.  Have a great day and a great week-end.  Mary

Another Envelope Punch Board Candy Holder

Surprise!  I've been having a lot of fun playing and making candy holders with my envelope punch board.  Got to make them while I have some candy in the house, lol!

This one holds a full size candy bar and you can use it for any occasion you would need one for.  I made this one after watching this video HERE.  After watching her video, I was able to whip one of these out in no time, she is a good teacher!

This time I did stamp on the box before I put it together.  I used the retired Spooky Bingo Bits (sad face here) with Illuminate Glimmer Watermark Stamp pad.  Then I used some leftover Pumpkin Pie Seam Binding from the Halloween Banner Kit.  I use my Postage Stamp, 1" square and Mini Curly Label (retired) punches for the sentiment.  Very easy and cute too!

Well off to play some more, see you again tomorrow!  Mary

Envelope Punch Board Candy Holder

Hi everyone, I hope you all have been doing well, we are all fine at our house and hubby is tired but happy to be back at his part-time job.

Today I want to share with you a project that I found in my in box one day.  It's a cute, inexpensive idea that you can give to just about anyone on your Christmas list, or anytime of the year, and best of all you can easily make it for under $5.00!  Yup, under $5.00.  I got my candy bar at Wal-Mart for $1.48 for a 4.4 ounce bar.  If you already have some 12" x 12" card stock or Designer Series paper on hand, then you are ready for this project.  Oh wait, you do need to have the envelope punch board though to make these with.  Now I'm going to be honest here, when I tried this at Convention in July I was not impressed with it!  I'm thinking, "why do I want to use my paper to make envelopes" and I did have a learning curve with it too.  But when I saw some of the many different items some people were making with it, I was thinking, "maybe", but when I saw this video HERE, I just had to get one because I like to make items like this!

I did use the Gift Bow Die to it, but you could finish the front anyway you would like, ribbon would work with this really nicely!  After I finished it, I thought I could run the strip of DSP up and down and save more paper that way to (or ribbon).  You could stamp on the front, image that, lol!  So just let your imagination go and you'll come up with some really good ideas too!  Now I'm trying to figure out how to make one for the 7 ounce size bar!

Thank you for dropping in to see me and just a reminder, today is the last day for the 25% off stamp sale.  Mary

INCORRECT MEASUREMENT ON THE ENVELOPE PUNCH BOARD

October 12, 2013

We have noticed that one of the envelope measurements on the Envelope Punch Board is incorrect. The dimensions for the 5-1/2" x 8" card size envelope are 1/4" too small. The correct envelope measurement for this card size is: 10-5/8" x 10-5/8" (paper size); 4-3/8" (score line). The Envelope Punch Board still functions perfectly and we have corrected the measurement chart on the punch board. New labels are available through Demonstrator Support, if you would like one.

Special reminder for Stampin' Up! cards: These envelope measurements are meant for simple cards, without a lot of dimension. At Stampin' Up! we love adding dimension to our cards, but that can make the envelope a bit snug. So, if you need an envelope to fit your cards with lots of flair, go up an envelope size (or two) for the perfect fit.


The envelope punch boards are now on back-order, when the new boards are shipped and come in, they will have the new correct measurements on it.
