Mother's Day Envelope Punch Board Card Keeper with Cards!

Happy Mother's Day card box

 

I wanted to come up with a project to say "thanks" to the mothers that allow their children to participate in my Cr"after" school class every month.With mother's day coming up, I thought this wsa the perfect project.  This would also be perfect for a teacher gift!  This project was easy enough that my 7-9 year old girls made it. (Ok, I cut and scored everything, but still, they put it together for their mothers). Isn't it dreamy?  I LOVE this Designer Series Paper which is part of the Birthday Basics set.  Say goodbye to gumball green, the designer paper, the "Wonderful Mother" from Delightful Dozen (one of my faves) and the in color boutique details buttons. They are retiring and are only available while supplies last.  

 

 

 

Stampin' Up supplies used:
stamp sets: Delightful Dozen, Summer Silhouettes and Gifts of Kindness (sentiments on white cards)

paper: gold foil 12x12, gumball green coredinations 12x12, 8 1/xz x 11": whisper white, rich razzleberry , crisp cantaloupe, birthday basics designer series paper

ink: rich razzleberry and gumball green classic ink pads and markers

tools: scoring tool or scoring blade, banner framelits, floral frames collection framelits, envelope punch board, big shot machine

embellishments: in color designer details

 

Instructions:

Cut whisper white at 5 1/2" on long end and fold for card bases. Stamp as shown. SIMPLE!  The envelope punch board uses a 9 x 9" piece of card stock. The direction on how to do it, I got off Pinterest.  The crisp cantaloupe band is 1 inch x 11 inches. Cut floral pieces with floral frames framelits and layer.  I used tape except for the gold flower which I attached with dimensionals. Lastly, finish it all off with glue dot to attach the button. Then stamp with "wonderful mother" on whisper white scrap and cut with the banner framelit. cut the next larger gold framelit and then layer. Tape the flower to the bellyband and then tape the banner sentiment to the underside of the flower, so it all slides off together.  Slide cards in and slide the band on. Your mom will be so proud!!!

5 Thankful days of Thanksgiving projects from papermadeprettier, project #3

Welcome back to my series of ten precious Stampin' Up Thanksgiving projects to wow amaze you. If you missed the first 2 projects, click here: 5 Thankful Days Project #1.  I will post two projects a day for 5 days so that when you love them and want to make them, you will have plenty of time to make yours before the turkey comes to town! 

DAY 2:

Project #3

Thankful Window Treat Box

This cute little bundle of chocolate love designed by hand stamped style and tweaked and copied by me :).  I am so THANKFUL for others who share their ideas on different sites.  I used the leaf and black place card label with chalkboard marker from the Simply Created Thankful Tablescape kit which I LOVE!!!  There's enough in that kit to create 10 place settings or to use the sweet items to make other things, which is what I did! 

(this is a bonus project, made entirely from the kit - except the cutie card which you will see later :)

 

Thankful Window Treat Box Stampin' Up supplies used:

paper: 8 1/2" x 11" crumb cake, sweater weather designer series paper leaf die cut from thankful tablescape kit (OR cut one out from the sweater weather paper and autumn accents bigz die), black chalkboard label

Big Shot: Thinlit circles collection

embellishments: cajun craze button (regals button collection),white stampin' chalk marker (sold separately or included in Thanksful Tablescape kit) linen thread (in kit or sold separately), envelope punch board.

adhesives: glue dots, sticky strip

 

Here's a cool tutorial about how to make the treat box with the envelope punch board (WHICH YOU NEED TO BUY!!!). Just goodle, Pinterest search Stampin' Up envelope punch board. The opportunities are endless!

Check out Stampin' Up's YouTube video about the fabulous envelope punch board: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzokPixtpko

Details:

Create treat box using tutorial video instructions provided above.  Use big shot circles thinlit die to cut circle in the middle of the square part (you will need to make sure to cut only one side of your box, not the flaps - just face the flaps up and not towards cutting edge of thinlit, imagine the thinlit is inside the box).  Thread linen thread through button and tie bow. Adhere to leaf and then to box with glue dots.  I used a little cello bag and put M&M's from Target which were fall colored, then sticky strip taped the box shut.
