It's A Card Set & Box Remake! This time ... Delicate Pines! ♡

A few months ago I posted a Stampin' Up! Artisan Extra Project that I had made ... A Charming Day Card Set.  Well ... shortly after that, I created a project for a demonstrator event that Stampin' Up! was doing.  I thought a fun idea would be to do a remake of that Charming Day set!  This time I used the Delicate Pines Bundle though; which is part of the Elegant Pine Snowflake Suite.  I didn't go with the colors of the suite.  I wanted to do it a bit more "Ashley-fied" with a bright winter.  Ha.  So the colors I went with are:  Petunia Pop, Coastal Cabana, Basic Beige, & Basic White.  I'm sharing lots of photos, tips& tricks, and the template to the box!  So let's get started!

All supplies used are from Stampin' Up!  

First up ... the box!  I have to admit ... months later ... I am still in love with this whole project!  And it all starts with this box!  A little fun fact ... I used the Iridescent Treat Bags in quite a few places.  Can you see where it's used here!? 

In case you didn't see it, here's a better shot!  Can you see it under the greeting?! 😍 I LOVE these bags! They add such a fun sheen, shimmer, fanciness!  

There is a belly band that wraps around it and keeps it closed.  You don't have to untie the bow or anything, you just slide off the belly band!  Also ... when I make a belly band, I bring the ends together usually on the front of the project.  Because that's where I add a focal point that can cover up the seam.  So ... that's what I did here!  So the back of the band is seamless ... which makes the whole band look seamless! 

The fun is continuing!  Are you ready?! 😆  Just slide that band off and then you can start to see what's inside! 

I will show you the cards inside then I will share a few tips on making them.  So the first card there that is peeking out is this one ... 

Yes ... if you noticed ... the center of that snowflake is die-cut from the Iridescent Treat Bag.  More on this below. 

The second card continues on with the Iridescent Treat Bag fun ...

And then the third and final card in the set ... MAYBE my fave one ... but that's hard to pick ... is a SHAKER card!  Yes ... using the Iridescent Treat Bags!  I just added some embossed cardstock to the inside of the bag to the size I wanted it (4" x 5 1/4"), added the Gold Shaker Stars filler, folded the bag over towards the back and taped it down to the back.  Then decorated!  Easy, breezy, super fun!!! shaker card! 

I had SOOOOOOO much fun making these cards!  Let me show you a shot of the full project.  Then I will share a few tips with you! 

Fun and cheery, right?!  Now onto the card box template and some tips! 

So what do you think?!  Want to make one?!  I hope so!  😃  Let me know if you have any questions or need help with anything!  Would love to help you with your papercrafting needs and get any Stampin' Up! supplies!

Banner Sayings With the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team!

Today is day you get to HOP along today and see some fun projects some of us on the Artisan Design Team made with Stampin' Up!'s Banner Sayings Bundle & Hobby Haven 12"x12" Specialty Designer Series Paper!  💗  These are from the November Online Exclusive release! 💕 We have lots of variety & beauty to share with you so hop along with us to see it all!  The hop is over on Instagram, so follow me @designwithink and hop along to see everyone's projects!  Also sharing mine here! 

This bundle is SO much fun!  And more versatile than you may think!  (Another plug to make sure you check out all we are posting in this hop! 😃)  And the paper is so cute & easy to use to make quick focal points or anything!  Let me share some details with you!  First up ... the Coastal Cabana banner card! 

To make the background, I first stamped a bunch of the sayings onto the card front.  I didn't worry about it being perfect.  Just stamp away in the order you want!  I then blended a little ink onto the cardstock with Coastal Cabana ink.  And then embossed it with the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder. 

Then for the banners ... I just punched some of the middle banner out with different colored cardstocks: Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly, Basic Beige, and Soft Sea Foam.  Folded them in half, and added them to twine I draped across the card front.  (I adhered the twine to the back of the card front.  Then tied the bows separately and used a glue dot to adhere to the card.)  The heart is from the Hobby Haven paper.  

Next up ... the Basic White card!  I LOVE all the layers and textures on this card.  Let me share some details ... 

The banner accent was made by embossing some Basic White cardstock and then punching out a bunch of the banner piece.   The "ticket" piece was just punched out from Designer Series Paper.  Same as all the other pieces for the focal point! 

I hope you enjoy these cards!  Let me know if you have any questions!  Have you played with this bundle or the paper yet?! 

Because now it is time to check out all the projects from the other Artisan Design Team Members that are sharing today to get even more ideas!  😍  You do NOT want to miss what everyone has in store for you!

Swirled Designs Bundle For Some Artisan Fun!

Recently went to Stampin' Up!'s Backstage Leadership Convention in Vegas ... and it was AMAZING!  The fun all started for me with some fabulous humans gathering for dinner.  Most of the Artisans that were in attendance for the convention - past & present - got together to meet/reunite/hug/chat/laugh/etc. It. Was. Such. A. Highlight!  I am SO SO grateful for the Artisan teams I have been on and the Artisan community as a whole ... because "Once an Artisan, always an Artisan!" 😍  And as a reminder ... this is an international group!  We had so many countries represented and it. was. amazing to be apart of it.  My heart was SO full after!  

Since I organized the event, I wanted to have a little Vegas themed gift at the table for them.  Have to admit ... I was pretty bummed at first because a few things I was planning just didn't work out, due to some shipping issues.  But ... at least they looked pretty cute!  Hee.  So sharing that first, and then share some photos of us! 💗  We SOOOO missed those that weren't able to make it!!!! 😢

I brought all the "pieces" and put the bags together one I got to my hotel room.  My fabulous good friend & roomie, Chelsey, helped me!  So had to have a little photo shoot in our room with the bags & her! 💗😂

I used quite a few products on here ... all from Stampin' Up! ... although some are from awhile ago!  Do you recognize where the banner piece is from?!  If you have been around for a long time,  you may!  I had a "vision" for these bags, and I was SO GLAD that I still had some of these pieces!  Because they were perfect!  Hee.  

But also used the new Swirled Designs Bundle, that I LOVE!  That is a new Online Exclusive!  The Mini Alphabet Dies are phenomenal ... it's one big die that die-cuts all the letters!  So I just added some Adhesive sheet to the back of black cardstock, and ran the whole die through a few times.  Then found all my letters for the names!  It was so quick & much easier than it could have been! Hee.  And then of course the Stylish Shapes Dies always come in handy for me!  😍  The Damask Designs Embossing Folder added a bit of an "old world" Vegas vibe for me.  I embossed on Black Cardstock and then sanded a bit ... just to make it a little distressed and stand out a bit more.  

The restaurant we were meeting at had terrible lighting, so good thing I took some photos before!  Hee. 

And then look at all the cuties that were in attendance! 

Truly ... loved loved this night!  Thanks everyone for coming!!  💗💗💗  And thanks now for visiting and letting me reminisce a bit!
