Get Your Shamrock On!

Looking for the perfect treat holder for St. Patrick's Day? Try these cute clear treat boxes decorated with an Irish theme! They would be great filled with rainbow candy or even gold foil wrapped chocolates!

I used the three dimensional heart die from Love Notes Thinlit set to form the base of the shamrock. The stem is a 1/4" by 1-1/2" strip of Emerald Envy cardstock.

The center treat box has a 1-1/4" by 8-1/2" strip of Emerald Envy Designer Series Paper wrapped around. For the other two boxes, I stamped onto 1-1/2" by 8-1/2" strips of Whisper White cardstock to create my own St. Paddy's Day Designer Series Paper.

Below are the measurements to make one, two, or all three treat boxes!

Technique Tuesday: Emboss Resist Three Ways

This is one of the cards we are making in today's Technique Tuesday class. Today's class focuses on the emboss resist technique. This is one of my favorite techniques. I think this is a perfect way to combine fall colors!

There are many ways to emboss resist. Today I focused on three - sponging, ink refills, and stamping. All three use heat embossing  to create the resist but give very different results. Sponging creates depth and melding.

 Ink refills can be more vivid and more like a water color painting. Stamping can protect the underlying colors while filling in the background.

If you would like to learn how to make these cards and more, please sign up for my next Technique Tuesday class or schedule a private lesson today.

Fresh Fruit Card Set Gusseted Envelope

This is a great gusseted envelope to keep all of your Fresh Fruit cards we made this week! The Envelope Punch Board makes this card holder a snap!

This envelope has a gusset, so it has more dimension to hold all of your cards and envelopes. The finished dimensions are 6" by 4-1/2" by 1-1/4". To add the height, there will be two punches on each side of the envelope. Start by cutting a 9-3/8" by 9-3/8" piece of Crumb Cake cardstock.

Using your Envelope Punch Board, line your cardstock up to the 3-1/2" line, punch, and score. Line your cardstock up to the 4-7/8" line, punch, and score. Once the initial punches are made, you don't need to measure again. Use the score lines you just made as the guides for each subsequent punch.

Rotate your piece 90 degrees. Line it up to the 1st previous score line, punch, and score. Line it up to the 2nd previous score line, punch, and score.

Rotate your piece 90 degrees. Line it up to the 1st previous score line, punch, and score. Line it up to the 2nd previous score line, punch, and score.

Rotate your piece 90 degrees. Line it up to the 1st previous score line, punch, and score. Line it up to the 2nd previous score line, punch, and score.
Burnish all of your score lines.

Place strong adhesive such as Tear and Tape or Fast Fuse along two bottom edges of the left and right flaps. Fold up the bottom flap, securing the bottom flap to the two side flaps.

Add some hook and loop tape to the back of the top flap as a closure.

The front panel was made by layering Flirty Flamingo cardstock and Fruit Stand DSP. I used the largest scallop oval and the second largest oval to make the center embellishment.

Adhere the front panel to the front of the envelope and you have a fantastic gift!
