I saw this little bag on Too Cool Stamping – who got it from Dannie Graves! This is what makes the stamping world go ’round! This uses Acorny Thank You from the Holiday mini – cute – and the Gift Bag Punch Board.
It’s a two piece gift bag.
Cute! Tomorrow I’ll show you where I went with this little gem 🙂 Hugs, Fran
A little Halloween Baker’s Box to fill with treats! The Baker’s Box is so easy to put together! The spider is an svg file from Miss Katie’s Cuttables with some extra circles added to the eyes – and some fun google eyes! On the bottom, I used the scallop border punch and added more eyes. The ribbon on the top is tied to one of the handles and the clothespin keeps the box shut. That way you can open it without having to untie the ribbon. Just something fun 🙂 Hugs, Fran
Summer birthdays! (Or 4th of July – but that was last weekend!) We have some very special summer birthdays and I always like to create decorations and party favors to help us celebrate. This is the French Fry box and All About Sugar stamp set. The little “party” banner is on a lollipop stick and the Fry box has a star die cut from the center with sequins between acetate. A little bling for the party.
The box was made with the new heavy Whisper White card stock and stamp in Real Red. Time to party! Hugs, Fran
I’ve been asked to join the Creative Circle Design Team – focusing on lovely 3-D creations and Stampin UP products. If you’ve just come from Barb’s post, you’re int he right place! This month’s template is a “murse” – or a man’s purse. You can get your own copy of the template at the end of this post. It’s an SVG file designed by Liz Holloway and I was able to cut it out on my Eclips. (or you can print and cut!) I chose the Go Wild and Cherry on Top Designer Series paper to make my card holder and cards.
For my closure, I staggered 3 front panels (Go Wild, Tip Top Taupe and Basic Black) and added a closure “button” using Awesomely Artistic.
I used Antique Brads on the handle to help it swing out of the way.
This card uses Flower Shop and Go Wild DSP on a Heavy White base. The leaves are the Bird punch.
This card features the Bold Butterfly die.
And last, but not least, Awesomely Artistic and some Irresistibly Yours DSP. Hope you’ve enjoyed these samples. Hop on over to Liz Holloway’s blog to see more fun ways to use this template. Hugs, Fran

Floral Wings is a two step (really 3 step!) hostess set. Because it’s photopolymer, it’s really easy to use. I chose to put the butterfly on a Decorative Window Gift Box. To make this, stamp the butterfly twice in Basic Black. Add the flowers in Melon Mambo and the leaves in Old Olive. Die cut both butterflies using the Bold Butterfly die.
Use the flower stamp to stamp around the sides of box using Crumb Cake ink. Adhere a 1/2″ strip of Melon Mambo paper around the box – make sure to leave the lid free so it will open.
Adhere the butterflies together in the middle and attach to the box. Add Dimensionals (I stacked them 2 high) under the wings and add your sentiment. I glued a small piece of Baker’s Twine to the top of the butterfly to make antennae and pearls to the centers of the flowers. Fill it with something wonderful and give to a friend! Hugs, Fran
One more Gift Bag Punch Board bag – a shaker bag. I used the Deco Label Framelits to make the opening. Take 2 piece of acetate (a window sheet or packaging work too), use tape around the edges to make a pouch and fill it with stars and confetti. Attach it to the back of the opening. Stamp the ballon and adhere it to the front and add a sentiment. You could use lots of different framelits! Hope you have a great weekend! Hugs, Fran
Today is my Bags and Boxes class and here’s one of the projects we’re making. This box is made with the Box Punch Board using the Under the Tree Designer Series paper. The “bow” is a rosette made with the Rosette die and the snowflake on top was die cut from a coaster using a retired snowflake die.
It’s almost time to think about packing! Hugs, Fran
A long time ago I made these littler nugget boxes – and the pattern was lost when I had to switch servers. Since I’ve had so many requests for the pattern, I thought I’d share it a new.
Start with a 5 x 3 1/2 piece of Real Red card stock. Score in 1/2″ and 1″ on all 4 sides. Cut away the parts shown in the picture and fold into a little box. For the wrapper, cut another piece of Real Red 3 x 4 3/4 and score on the 4 3/4 side at 1 5/8, 2 1/8, 3 3/4 and 4 1/4. This will leave a little flap to glue it together
Decorate your nuggets and box! Need help? Just let me know – Hugs, Fran
The fourth challenge this month for the Creative Crew at Splitcoast is packaging. I chose the Decorative Window Gift Box with a wreath over the opening. The “ribbon” is a strip of card stock wrapped all the way around. I didn’t want the box to collapse so I lined the bottom with Real Red and make a punched doughnut to cover the opening on the inside.
Supplies
Stamp Sets – Wondrous Wreath, Merry Stars
Card stock – Real Red, Whisper White
Ink – Old Olive, Garden Green, Real Red
Etc – Decorative Windows Gift Box, Wondrous Wreath Framelits, 2 1/2 and 1 3/4 circle punches
Can’t wait to fill this box! Hugs, Fran
How about a little Halloween Gift box that spells out “Boo” as you turn it? Easy, easy to make with the new Gift Box punch board and the Larger Than Life stamp set!
On the 4th side I added the skeleton from Freaky Friends –
I did the images in White Craft ink – and I think the next time I’ll emboss them so they stand out even more. But it’s a cute, fast idea for small candies and I’m going to need a few of them. Hugs, Fran
