Stampin’ Up! Mini Treat Bag Box

Today I want to share with you a project that I’m so excited about.  I absolutely love the new Mini Treat Bag from Stampin’ Up! and I wanted to have a little fun with it.  I’ve heard of others turning it into a box so I decided to give it a try.  It turned out so cute and I used it as my swap during Leadership this last week.  While I was creating all my swaps I decided that I was going to make my first ever Stampin’ With Candice video.  I hope that is will be the first of many.

So first I’m going to share the cute project with you and find a few pictures of putting the project together.  Then I’ll share the video with you and last I’ll share a list of supplies so you can create one yourself.

So I love Valentines and choose that as my team.  The current occasions catalog has so many great Valentines products.

Mini Treat Bag Box Valentine

Here’s my video.  Please don’t laugh.  It’s my first one and I’m still learning.  I hope that it will help you to get an idea of how easy this box is to create.  I started taking pictures and decided that the video would be easier.  I hope you enjoy it and if so please like and share it.  Thanks

 

Here’s a list of supplies and the pieces that you will need to create your box.

Mini Treat Bag Box Pieces

  • The front & back is cut using a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 piece.  (you’ll need 2)  Be sure to line up the edge with the bottom and the side where the score line is.
  • You’ll need 2 pieces 2 x 5 1/2 for your sides.  Score them at a 1/2″, 1″ and 1 1/2″.  Then score the bottom at 4 3/4.  You will cut out the center section as shown.  Fold and attach the bottom using a mini glue dot.Mini Treat Bag Box Sides
  • You’ll also need a piece for the bottom.  It is 3 1/2″ x 3/4″.

Just a few quick notes on the front of the Valentines box.

  • Be sure to run your front and back pieces through with the embossing folder before you begin to assemble your box
  • The Love is stamped then cut out with the tag die that came with the treat bag.  I just cut the end off.  Afterwards I covered it in Crystal Effects and let it dry completely before attaching to the front.
  • I used a 1/4 of the Tea Lace Paper Doily and scrunched it to fit the love.
  • The Flower like image is stamped in Rose Coral Colorbox ink on the Chalkboard paper and then cut out with the circle framelits.
  • I used the medium Gray Smoky Slate Blendabilites marker to color on the gold sequines to turn them silver.
  • After forming your heart with the simply pressed clay I sprayed it with Vanilla Shimmer smooch and let dry.  Then I used a needle to thread the bakers twine through it and tied a bow.
  • I used the Banner Punch and went through the top to only punch the edge of the Silver Glimmer paper to create the banner.
  • The Silver Glimmer Paper and the Chevron Ribbon are attached to the back of the Chalkboard Circle.  This is glued onto the box with Tombow Multipurpose Glue.
  • I attached the Tea Lace to the love with Tombow and then attached the love to the Chalkboard Circle with dimensionals.  I also used dimensionals to attach the clay heart.

I really hope you enjoyed this project.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  I’d love to hear your comments.  Also please feel free to share with your friends.  I’d love to see your box creations.  Please feel free to share them on my facebook page.

July 2014 Paper Pumpkin fun Wish Big

Can I just say I am so in love with this kit.  Seriously I had so much fun creating these projects.  When I saw the kit at Convention I couldn’t wait to get home and put them together.   I thought you would have a little fun walking through the experience with. Well kinda.  So here’s what you see when you first open the box.  This gives you a pretty indication of what every box looks like.  Just like opening a present right?

Opening Paper Pumpkin

I didn’t take a picture of everything all bundled up because I really wanted you to see what was included in this kit.  You get 6 boxes and 6 cards with envelopes.  While you get great instructions on how to make the projects on the front of the sample instructions they also love to give you extra stuff so you can have fun being creative.  This kit has so much extra stuff you will love it.

Contents of July 2014 Paper Pumpkin Kit

So first here are 4 boxes and 5 cards that I made using just what was in the kit.  Now most times you need to add adhesive and scissors, but this kit was great no adhesive needed (at least not to create the projects how they are show.)  You’ll notice that I’m only showing 5 cards and 4 boxes.  Well that’s because I already made a box and card a gave it away to an awesome customer.  The missing box, well that’s up next.

 

July 2014 Paper Pumpkin Kit Samples

 

Sara Douglass show us this idea at Convention and I just had to make one of my own.  So these cards are 2 3/4 x 4 1/4.  They are basically a regular card size cut in 1/2.  Now I could have cut the ones that came with the kit in 1/2 but I decided to just use 2 pieces of Whisper White Cardstock instead.

 

July 2014 PP- Cards in a Box

 

Now I’m sure you are dying to see the cute cards inside.  So here they are. For the most part they are just like Sara’s however I folded my cards different so I tweaked some just a bit.  I also used a few pieces of scrap Whisper White Paper for the popped up sayings as well as some dimensionals.  Now you will have plenty o the fun stickers, ribbon and accessories to make these cute cards.  I also used Softy Sky ink pad for some of the stamping.  I decided to include ribbon around the box along with a cute silver star.  Just a note I did cut off the top part of the box, I even used some of it on a card.  I also used some Soft Sky paper and the Envelope Punch Board to create a cute matching envelope.

Note- to make envelope start with a 6 x 6 paper. Follow the following punch and score system to create a rectangle envelope.

  1. Punch and score at 3 1/2
  2. Turn a 1/4 turn and punch and score at 2 1/2
  3. Turn  a 1/4 turn and punch and score at 3 1/2
  4. Turn a 1/4 turn and punch and score at 2 1/2

Once I was done I cut 1″ off the end that is in the inside the card but it’s not necessary.

July 2014 PP - Box Cards

These card’s inspired me to make some cards that would fit inside the box it’s self.  How cute are these.  So they are 1/2 the size of the ones above 2 3/4 x 2 1/8.  I was able to get all 8 cards out of one sheet of Whisper White Cardstock.  Again I added a few scraps of white, but the embellishments and stickers all came from the same paper pumpkin kit.

July 2014 PP- Mini Cards fit in box

So last I wanted to show you a card that you could make once you’ve created everything with your kit.  So this one is made with my own supplies with one exception.  I still had lots of silver stars left so I did use one of them.  This card will be featured at my  Stampin’ Buffet next month.  You’ll be able to come and make it for just $1.00 along with lots of other great cards.
