This month's Blog Hop theme is Lots of Love. I knew exactly what products I wanted to use for the blog. NEW! Of Course! NEW items from Stampin Up's Occasions catalog!! I will be showing you 2 projects and 1 card for the blog hop. It may seem like alot of products were used. But it really isn't. I used the same colors, DSP and stamp set throughout the projects and cards. So if you do not have alot on hand, this is great, because we are just using same products,in different way.  What I decided to make is SUPER easy projects that I can make multiples, in a breeze. As a busy mom of 3, I need to accomplish the most, in what appears to be a very short amount of time. I'm all about coordination!!!!
So here we go....I hope you enjoy what I've prepared for you! I look forward to hearing your feedback!!!

Project 1:
This is a little treat pack I made using the Envelope Punch Board. If you have never used one, you can watch this video to see how easy it is to create custom envelopes.
  • Choose a piece of cardstock measuring 6x6. I used Blushing Bride Cardstock.
  • Follow the instructions on the punch-board for the smallest envelope design, starting with the cardstock.
  • Choose a piece of DSP, also 6x6. I chose a pattern out of the new Love Blossoms Stack Pack. Perfect the paper is already 6x6 so no cutting needed. And I followed the steps to make the smallest envelope again.
  • Take the DSP and place it on you Stampin' Trimmer on the diagonal and cut it in half. You will have 2 long triangles. Cut the sides off so your left with half of the middle and one corner piece. See pictures below. You will be able to add a liner to 2 envelopes from one sheet of DSP.
  • Layer the DSP onto the Cardstock and assemble the envelope leaving one side unsealed. I used Fast fuse to make the envelope. As I was gluing the envelope, I realized maybe the bottom piece should have been on the outside since it's a little package, but I don't really think it makes a difference.
  • Cut a piece of Pink Pirouette Seam Binding Ribbon, long enough to wrap around the envelope. Match the seam up on the front, it will be covered up by the stamped image.
  • Stamp, using the Going Global stamp set, the same image twice. Once in Real Red and once in Blushing Bride. Punch out the Real Red image with a 2" circle punch. Cut the LOVE part out of the Blushing Bride image and adhere on top of the Real Red with a Dimensional.
  • Punch out a 2 3/8" scallop circle in Real Red. And a 2 1/2" circle in the new Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper.
  • Add the stamped image to the Real Red scallop circle with Snail. Then attach onto the glimmer circle with Dimensionals.
  • Adhere onto the envelope with Dimensionals.

This project was really easy and uses a small amount of paper. The stamping/punches and glimmer could be scraps on hand! But whats better, is the project can be easily duplicated, if you needed to make a lot, it will take no time!!! The envelopes are not very deep, so this treat package would be perfect for a regular Hershey bar or another thin candy bar, a gift card, perhaps a note, as well. You could also add a couple pencils or pens for a school gift. I am debating whether or not to make for my elementary school kids Valentine Swaps...hmmm there's plenty of time to decide...Right??
Project 2:
Cute little gift box. I love it.
Again I chose a design that used very little cutting paper...This box was made with the Gift Box Punch Board. You can watch this video to see how to use the Gift Box Punch Board! 
  • Choose a 6x6 piece of DSP. I used the Love Blossoms again. Because of course it's new and it's perfect because the stack packs are 6x6 (I used the reverse side of the pattern I used in the envelope)
  • Follow the directions on the punch board to make the smallest box.
  • Turn the paper on the diagonal and line up with the S on the bottom left, punch, score down, score across and score one more time on the S at the top left to make the diagonal score line. Rotate paper and repeat on all 3 sides.
  • Turn paper over and line up paper to punch and score on the diagonal. It may sound a little complicated but it's really easy.
  • Use the reverse punch to make the notches on each corner. The box can be assembled without adhesive, but I chose to glue the sides together to create more structure.
Picture
You can see in the second picture below, that once you fold the sides in, there are these little corners that stick out into the middle of the box. That is because the box will open flat. No worries. Just take a few glue dots and stick them to the sides. Wala, they are out of the way. You can fill the box with little treats...maybe a special piece of jewelry!!
  • Stamp the globe twice, from Going Global, in Blushing Bride. Punch out with a 2" circle punch. (Put one aside for the card)
  • Stamp the Love image, from Going Global, in Read Red. Cut the Love banner out.
  • Cut a strip of the DSP about a 1/2" to about 3" and flag the ends. Adhere to the globe with Snail. Adhere the Love banner onto the DSP with Dimensionals
  • Cut a 2 3/8" Scallop Circle using the Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper. Attache the globe with Dimensionals.
  • Add 3 Blushing Bride sequins using the Fine Tip glue pen.
  • Lastly, wrap a piece of Pink Piourette Seam Binding Ribbon around the box and use glue dots to hold it down. Attach the embellishment onto the box with Dimensionals. Make sure to fill the box before attaching everything.
Here is the card I made to go along with the Treat Envelopes and Gift Box.
  • I stayed with the Going Blobal stamp set and Love theme.
  • Cardbase is Blushing Bride Cardstock. Measure 5 1/2x 8/12, fold in half
  • Next layer, Blushing Bride, 5 1/4x4, attach to cardbase with Snail.
  • Measure Whisper White to 5x 3 3/4 and set aside.
  • Top Layer, is Blushing Bride. 4 3/4 x 3 1/2. Emboss the piece with the World Traveler Embossing Folder.
Picture
  • Cut a strip of DSP 4 3/4 x 1 and attach to the top of the embossed cardstock with Snail. I used the same pattern I've been using throughout the projects.
  • Tie a piece of Pink Piourette Seam Binding Ribbon around the layer. Attach to the cardbase with Dimensionals.
  • Cut a 2 1/2" circle in the Blushing Bridge Glimmer Paper.
  • Take the stamped global and attach to the glimmer circle with Dimensionals. (If you followed along, you stamped this when making the box, if not, stamp the globe in Blushing Bride and punch out with a 2" Circle Punch).
  • Cut out a circle in Real Red with the 1 1/2" circle punch.
  • Stamp "You mean the world to me" in Real Red. Use a piece of Whisper White scraps. Punch out using a 1 3/8" Circle Punch. Attach to the Real Red circle with Snail.
  • Cut a 1/2 x 3 1/2" strip of DSP, again I used the reverse side of the patterns I've used in the projects. Flag the ends. Adhere to the bottom of the globe using Snail.
  • Attach the "You mean the world to me" with Dimensionals onto the globe. Then adhere it all to the cardbase with Dimensionals.
  • Add 3 Blushing Bride sequins to the card and 3 rhinestones onto the stamped "you mean the world to me".
Well I wanted to send a big thanks for following along with the blog hop and visiting my blog. I hope you enjoyed the projects I have shared with you. Feel free to contact me with any questions and if you are interested in any of the projects used. You can also shop my website 24/7. You can see a photo of each product used in my projects below.
