Trick or Treat Book Box


Hey there! Happy Saturday! I enjoyed bringing you a project on Saturday a few weeks ago for WCMD, so I decided I might possibly make this a regular thing in the future.

I'm super excited about today's project!! It's something I've never made before, a book box. I had the idea because of my Murder She Wrote book club! I have a best friend in North Carolina who I do this weekly book club with and we had chosen this particular book for October because of it's Halloween theme. However, we haven't finished our last book so...looks like we won't start this one until November. I wanted to send her the book as a gift and I of course needed some cute packaging. I love that I can make my own gift boxes using Stampin' Up! products! In today's tutorial I share some tips on how I come up with measurements for custom boxes.

Heartfelt Hexagon Patchwork Card| World Card Making Day 2023


HAPPY WORLD CARD MAKING DAY! ❤️
I love that there's a day to celebrate the papercrafting art of cardmaking! So awesome! I wanted to share a card idea with you today that I feel really captures the fun of cardmaking. I came up with a cute and eclectic patchwork card (well...that's what I'm calling it). I used the new all-occasion Heartfelt Hexagon Bundle and paired it with pretty patterns from the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper. I absolutely love how this card turned out!

Night of Navy card base 4.25" x 11" scored at 5.5"
Fresh Freesia cardstock 4-1/8" x 5-3/8"
Delightfully Eclectic DSP- two pieces cut at 2" x 5.25"- cut each piece randomly into two smaller pieces, flip the reverse side of each pattern over so you now have 4 different patterns for your patchwork card, adhere each piece into place (see video)

September 2023 Paper Pumpkin Alternates| With Love & Gratitude


Hey there! I wanted to share a couple of cute alternate ideas with you featuring the September 2023 With Love & Gratitude Paper Pumpkin Kit. This kit was beautifully designed with autumn in mind and features elegant gourds and pumpkins, traditional fall colors, and specialty gold foil accents.

Host Code- GWWNZADV
Click the button below to shop.

Watch the video tutorial below for step by step instructions on how I created these alternate projects or CLICK HERE.


Card Measurements
Lost Lagoon card base 4.25" x 11" scored at 5.5"
Basic White cardstock (inside) 4" x 5.25"
Designer Paper (cut from inside mini envelope) 1-7/8" x 3-7/8"
Designer Paper strip (cut from gift bag) 1/2" x 4.25"

Gift Bag Measurements
Take the flattened gift bag, flip it over to the back, and line up the top left corner with 4.25" on your Paper Trimmer then cut off the bottom portion of the bag. Slide your bag to the 1" inch mark on the far righthand side of your trimmer and score the bottom of the bag. Cut up each fold mark (four total) on the bottom of the bag until you reach the 1" score line we just created. Once done, you should now have four flaps on the bottom of the bag.
