Storybook Moments Squares

April 13, 2025April 12, 2025

I recently attended Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage in Raleigh, NC. It was such a fun trip! Six members of my team attended, three I had never met, so it was great getting to know them.

Of course we had to do some stamping, so we decided on a shoe box swap. If you haven’t heard of a shoe box swap, each of us prepared one project for everyone else to make. It was great fun and everyone participated!

One of my team members, Kathryn, made this cute card for her Shoebox Swap. I loved it so much that we did it in class last month.

Storybook Moments Squares

I’ve seen this design with other stamp sets, too. It makes such a cute card.

Storybook Moments Suite

I call this a MEGA Suite becuase it has TWO bundles (stamps and dies), TWO sets of Designer Series Paper (DSP), Ribbon and Embellishments! The Storybook Friends Bundle has so many cute animals, and the Storybook Garden Patch Bundle is all about plants and vegetables.

One of my favorite products is the Timeless Plaid DSP that is so versatile!

Storybook Moments Squares Inside

When I cut the squares (1 1/4″), I was left with a 1″ strip of the DSP, which I cut into 1/2″ strips for the inside of the card. This was a part of Kathryn’s design.

Storybook Moments Squares Detail

I colored the rabbit with Petal Pink, Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie and Mossy Meadow Blends. I colored the rocks and shrubs with Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie, Mossy Meadow and Ivory Blends.

Storybook Moments Spring Treat

March 29, 2025March 24, 2025

I’m so happy to see signs of Spring everywhere, aren’t you? So, today’s project is a Storybook Moments Sweet Spring Treat that I designed and created.

Storybook Moments Suite Collection

For this sweet treat, I’m using products from the Storybook Moments Suite Collection. I love using Suites because everything is already coordinated for you and you just can’t go wrong.

I call this a MEGA Suite because it has TWO stamp and die bundles, plus TWO different DSP (Designer Series Paper) packs, along with ribbon and embellishments. Throw in some coordinating cardstock and you’re all set to make beautiful projects!

Storybook Moments Spring Treat

This is a tiny little treat and contains a chocolate carrot. I found the candy at my local dollar store in a mesh bag of eight. I thought they’d make a perfect Spring treat.

Side View

I created this box specifically to fit the chocolate carrots.

How It’s Made

Measurements

Lost Lagoon Cardstock – 3” x 5 ¾”

Basic White Cardstock – ½” x 2 ½”, 1 ¼” x 2”

Storybook Moments DSP – 1 1/8” x 1 ¾”

Instructions:

Score Lost Lagoon on short side at ½” from either side. Score on long side at ½”, 1 ¼”, 2 ½”, 3 ¼”, 4 ½”. If you don’t want to see a score line on the back of your project score only from the edge to the first intersecting score line on either side at the 4 ½” mark.

On both of the long sides, cut each score line up to the first intersecting score line. Cut away the four corner sections. Wedge the edges of the four small flaps and the flap on the end. Use the smallest Perennial Postage die to cut a window in the 1 ¼” section. See picture below.

Use bone folder to burnish all score lines. Fold bottom section into box shape. Fold flat on score line just under window. Apply glue to end flap and tuck under, sealing to back of box. See picture below.

Fold in small flaps on one end, then larger flaps, leaving front flap last to give a nice finished edge from the front. Apply glue across back edge of last flap to seal box. Add treat and repeat on the other end.

Stamp carrot in Mossy Meadow on white and color with Blends. Cut out with coordinating die. Stamp sentiment in Lost Lagoon on white strip and use Snips to cut ends diagonally.

Adhere DSP to top section, snip end of carrot and adhere with glue. Add sentiment with Dimensionals.

Embellish with Antique Pearls.

Unbounded Beauty Candy Bar Box

August 7, 2024

Hello Stampers! Today’s project uses the products from the Unbounded Beauty Suite to make a Candy Bar Box that holds a regular size Hershey bar perfectly! I received one of these (using different supplies) as a gift at a Kentucky Demonstrator event and I knew I had to recreate it for my class. They loved it!

I hope you’re having a great week. Last week we had storms almost every day, but it looks like they are finished for now……. just in time to get remnants of Hurricane Debby. My thoughts and prayers are with those affected by this storm. Wherever you are, I hope you were unaffected and remained safe.

Unbounded Beauty Candy Bar Box

Unbounded Beauty Suite

This Suite has TWO Bundles included, along with DSP (Designer Series Paper), Glimmer Paper and embellishments! That’s a ton of cool stuff! I used the stamps, dies, and DSP from this suite to make my box. You may also purchase these products separately, but why would you want to?!

How It’s Made

Cut cardstock to 6 1/2″ x 8 1/4″.

Score on the 8 1/4″ side at 3/8″, 7/8″, 7 3/8″ and 7 7/8″.

Score on the 6 1/2″ side at 2 1/2″, 3″, 5 1/2″ and 6″.

Cut as shown.

Another Sample

I made 12 of these for guests at a retreat I attended in June in Wisconsin. I used Balmy Blue CS, retired DSP, and the Labeled With Love Bundle. This stamp set can be bundled two ways! With the dies (set of three) or the punch. Choices, choices!
