Mother's Day is on Sunday, and this week's live tutorial is the sweetest little gift, packaging and matching card using the brand new Pansy Patch bundle!
I haven't yet bought the new in-colors, so these are the ink and cardstock colors I used instead!
But of course, now that I've played with the pretty paper, I'm going to HAVE to order the matching colors! They get me every time!
You can purchase the Pansy Patch bundle and beautiful paper by clicking any of the project images above. The ink and cardstock can be added to your cart by clicking the color images above. If your purchase is $35+ and you use this week's hostess code, I'll send you the packet for free!
(If you happen to have missed the live video, just click the current hostess code image to the right for your free gift with purchase!)
Thanks again for joining me on Facebook Live today! I go live every Wednesday at 2:00 Central Time on my Facebook page, and you can always watch the replay! Today's projects were so much fun to make! There's a size for almost ANY Halloween treat!
I love that they stand up on their own and are SERIOUSLY simple to make! The Tags, Tags, Tags Bundle is the perfect way to add a finishing touch! You can embellish as simply or as elaborately as you want (or have time for).
Here are the hand written measurements (I hope you can read them! Let me know if you have any questions!)
I'll be posting some other varieties of this pattern soon that you will be able to use for Christmas, Birthdays, and all year-round! It really makes the perfect quick & easy gift or treat box for any occasion! It's also a great way to use all the gorgeous Designer Series Paper available! There's just one question: what are YOU going to put inside?
I showed this tricky treat box yesterday on my weekly Facebook live and wanted to give you all the measurements and a step by step tutorial today! I used the stamp set from the September 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit called "Bone Appetit".
This tutorial will give you at least 2 boxes per sheet of cardstock.
Cardstock Prep
1. Start by cutting a Basic Black sheet of cardstock in half at 4 1/4".
2. Trim one side to 3" x 11".
3. From the leftover strip, use your Timeless Label Punch to punch two tombstone pull-tabs.
4. Trim the 3"x11" piece to 3"x5" (cut 2).
5. Trim the other half of the cardstock to 2 3/4" x 4 1/4" (cut 2, you will have enough to cut 4).
Score
3x5 pieces: 1/2", 2", 2 3/4", 4 1/4"
2 3/4" x 4 1/4" pieces: on each side at 5/8" (in between 1/2" and 3/4"). CUT on the score line at each corner on the long side in a small v just to the opposite score line to make tabs for your box.
Decorate & Assemble
1. Stamp the skeleton image in Versamark on the 3x5 piece in between 1/2" & 2" score lines.
2. Stamp the "eat if you dare" image in Versamark on one end of the Timeless Label Punch.
3. Cover the clear stamped image with white Stampin' Emboss Powder and use your heat tool to emboss.
4. Fold all the scorelines in and adhere to create a box and cover.
5. Use a hot glue gun to glue the pen spring right next to the short edge inside the box.
6. Add the die-cut hand to the top of the spring so it's reaching out of the box.
7. Adhere the "tombstone" Timeless Label punched piece to the bottom of the box (on the side underneath the spring).
8. Add candy!
9. Slide the cover onto the box and tuck the hand inside as you do.
Here is a quick video tutorial:

I'm impatiently waiting for this month's Paper Pumpkin to arrive! I thought I would share with you today how I recently used a PAST kit. This is one of my favorite benefits of being a current Paper Pumpkin Subscriber. There are several past kits available EXCLUSIVELY to current subscribers.
One of my ALL TIME favorite kits is the Chalk it Up To Love Kit from August 2015. It's so French looking! I knew those boxes & cards would be PERFECT for chocolate gifts I brought back from Belgium! I made a few of these up very quickly for some beautiful packaging! It's all about the presentation. ;)
Well, ALMOST all about the presentation. That chocolate is WORTH gaining pounds over!
They are also the perfect size for macarons, which I plan on learning how to make this year. If you don't have a small gift, don't worry, the cards in this kit are EQUALLY as cute! Anything with gold foil is a win in my book!
