Just a quick post for today’s 12 Weeks project. I am so super behind with my blog planning at the moment that I am going to take 5 days off this week, but I will be back next Saturday for something super exciting!
These super cute little boxes are really simple to put together, and only use the tiniest piece of Designer Series Paper.

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about pillow gifts and table favours, not sure if that’s because I’m still in Wedding mode or that I’m preparing for Christmas, but it means that when I’m shopping I’m constantly looking at little bits and bobs and thinking of ways to make them pretty!
These both hold Vaseline Lip Therapy Lip Balm tins, in coordinating colours of course!
I’m still loving the Cherry on Top Designer Series Paper stack, the 6 x 6″ size is so convenient for card making and little projects like this one, particularly when you pair it with the coordinating Card Stock pack or Washi Tape.
I’ve made this style of box before. I love the pizza box styling, its so simple to put together. If you are struggling to open the box you can also add a little notch in the front edge with a 1″ circle punch. This one is finished with the Petite Petals stamps and punch combo, and a couple of Itty Bitty accents flowers in the same colour.
Measurements:
Card stock – 6 1/2 x 3 5/8″ (17 x 9.5 cm)
Score on the long side at 3/4, 2 7/8, 3 5/8, and 5 3/4″ (2, 7.5, 9.5, 14.5 cm)
Score on the short side at 3/4 and 2 7/8″ (2 and 7.5 cm)
Designer Series Paper measures 1 7/8 x 1 7/8″ (5 x 5 cm)

The 3rd in our series counting down to Christmas and this week we’re talking tree decorations!
How cute are these! I have a plan for a stack of these on my tree this year, in various different sizes.
I thought that a video was the best way to explain how to make these, but its really simple; take a square of Designer Series Paper and fold it in half diagonally to form a triangle. Fold this piece in half, then use your Paper Snips to cut two slits as shown in the video.
Once you have made your slits, open out the paper and curl the pieces to create the above shape
I used Mini Glue Dots and Fast Fuse to stick these ones, but I think they look super cute with mini staples! You can join them together with staples to form an adorable snowflake shape too!

I love sharing my papercrafting with other people, I always make sweetie parcels and little gifts for my work colleagues at Christmas and special events, but until recently that’s where my sharing stopped! Shock I know, that was until I came across The Kindness Projects – and from now on people I come across will be getting little token gifts from me – a cashier in the supermarket, the doctor’s receptionist, the lovely chap that delivers my Stampin’ Up! goodies!
So, what are my token gifts – well, I thought I would go with some sweeties start with, and I have a pile left over from the sweetie bar at the Wedding, so I’ll be working my way through these first.
The first sweeties that I pulled out of the stack were my favourites – Parma Violets! (just remind me of my childhood! LOVE them!) and so this box was created!
Aren’t they Cute! I adore this Designer Series Paper, Sweet Li’l Thing, it’s designed with Children in mind, but I just cannot resist those Strawberries! I made a card with this same paper last week. The prints are adorable, and I love the colour combination too – Hello Honey, Pool Party, Tangelo Twist, Tip Top Taupe, Very Vanilla and Watermelon Wonder – I don’t think I would have come up with that colour combination on my own, but I have to say it will be one that is staying in my Colour Combo Bank from now on!
And they are so quick and easy to make with only a teeny tiny bit of Designer Series Paper too! Awesome!
These boxes have been finished with a ‘Thank You’ from Something to Say, punched with my favourite punch (this week!) the Washi Label Punch, and some flowers from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch pack (and a few Candy Dots!)
Measurements:
Designer Series Paper : 4 1/2 x 5 1/2″ (11.5 x 14 cm)
Score on the long side at 1 and 4 1/2″ (2.5 and 11.5 cm)
Score on the short side at 1, 2, 3 and 4″ (2.5, 5, .5 and 10 cm)
Don’t forget to round the corners on the lid to ensure a good close

I will admit now, I’m not really one of Halloween. I’m not a fan of dressing up at the best of times, and the idea of then going out in the cold – no thanks! And seeing as I live in a 3rd floor flat, I don’t really get trick or treaters either (all the more sweeties for me!) but I couldn’t resist making this card and pillow box combo.
The Square Pillow Box die is definitely one of my favs from the latest catalogue, made with card stock it’s just so clean and crisp. This one is a little different, with those cute pumpkins die cut from the front and some Tangelo Twist card stock added behind. Oh, and can you see the sneaky spiders, they are stamped in Versamark for a tone on tone look.
The card also uses the same dies, the window is cut from the larger of the two squares in the collection, and the shaker pieces are those same pumpkins cut from Tangelo Twist and Basic Black card stock. I am loving the shaker card craze at the moment (have you seen our Shaker Card Kit?! It is AWESOME!) and they are so easy using the edge pieces from Dimensionals.
Trick of Treat is taken from A Little Something – the stamp set that you can buy with the Square Pillow Box die for 15% off! – and is stamped in Whisper White Craft Ink, punched with the 1 3/8″ circle punch

I am still loving the Square Pillow Box die! I could make these all day, they are so simple and quick to put together. I was sat in my craft room the other day thinking of other variations of this great die, and realised that I hadn’t made an all vellum version! Shocking!
This vellum is stunning (my photo does not do it justice!). I have been playing around with my photo skills again, and am trying natural light and some props at the moment, still needs work I think!
Ok, so Square Pillow Box top tips!
The die will cut two pieces of Designer Series Paper or Vellum, but only one piece of card stock at a time.
Fold and burnish the pieces well with your fingers, and a bone folder on the straight edges
Use Tear & Tape to ensure the whole length of the tabs are covered with adhesive
Lie the two pieces of the Pillow Box face down on your desk next to each other, and line up one edge at a time
Use Glue dots to stick the flaps together if needed
Make them super pretty by using the extra dies and coordinating stamp set!

Welcome to the final post in my Festive Fireplace week blog series, I do hope you have enjoyed it and found some inspiration. You can find all the other projects in this weeks worth of posts by searching for ‘Festive Fireplace’ in my search bar
This project comes with a bit of a disclaimer – DO NOT put real tealights inside! Please use electric tealights for this, I will not be held responsible for any accidents caused by this project!
Right, with that out of the way, fancy making one?
They are really simple to make, and I am loving the cat with the bow collar too. The Chocolate Chip version uses Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler and Tip Top Taupe, while the Soft Sky version uses Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz and Sahara Sand
Measurements:
Card stock – 11 3/4 x 3″ (29 x 7.5 cm)
Score on the long side at 5″ (12.5 cm) rotate by 180 degrees and score 5″ again
Stamp your fireplace on both sides, lining the bottom edge up with the score lines you have just made, and cut out the centre of the fireplaces with a craft knife and metal ruler
Use Tear’n’Tape to attach vellum behind the fireplaces, and add mantle pieces, cats and any other decor items.
Form into a tent shape, rounding the corner with the Project Life by Stampin’ Up! corner punch, and joining the tops together with a staple.
Cover the staple with a bow, and insert your electric tealight

The Watercolour wishes kit is awesome! I can’t remember if I have mentioned it much before, but this years Stampin’ Up!® kits are amazing. We have instant crafting satisfaction 8 times in the annual catalogue and 3 times in the brand new Autumn/Winter book too! That’s a whole lot of crafting! From cards, to stationary, to home decor there is something for everyone.
My favourite kit by far is the Watercolour Wishes card kit, which makes 20 unique cards all featuring the totally on trend Watercolour look but without any of the mess! I have got to mention the stamp set that comes with this kit, it features 12 stamps covering all your most important everyday card making occasions
The great folks at Stampin’ Up!® have made a video to show you what’s in the kit and what the cards look like if you follow the instructions
However, I had to find some alternative uses for this kit. I just don’t need all that many cards (not when I make cards for my blog, and customers, and custom orders!), but I do use cute bits of packaging for gifts and things
Aren’t they cute! I will admit to using the kit to make a different card, but I could not resist making that heart card into a sweet card for my new husband (not that there was an old one!) I also used one of the larger cards in the kit to make a handy folder style gift, just adding some of our lovely Watermelon Wonder Dotted Lace Trim as a closure.
That box is such a handy size. Taking one of the larger cards score at 1″ on all four cards, before creating the box base from a piece of Thick Whisper White card stock.
Measurements:
Lid – 8 1/2 x 5 1/2
scored on all four sides at 1″
Base – 9 7/16th x6 7/16th
scored on all four sides at 1 1/2″
The belly band was created by cutting a 1 1/2″ strip off the long side of a piece of A4 Watermelon Wonder card stock, and helps to hide the score line on the top of the box (it should have been a card remember!)
All three projects were finished using a couple of the embellishments from the kit; Washi Tape, Wooden Elements and Sequins!

Ok, so we have finally launched the Autumn / Winter Stampin’ Up!® catalogue, and it is jam crammed packed full of great Christmas project ideas, awesome stamps, and some lovely ideas of autumn and winter birthdays too! I have a series of amazing projects, classes and videos coming for you in the next couple of months and I hope you love this catalogue as much as I do!
I have to say though, no one love chocolate as much as I do (seriously, there is a reason I am touch over weight!), and when I spotted these chocolate bars in the supermarket a few months ago, I knew they had to come home with me and feature on my blog! Believe me they didn’t last long after this photo was taken!
Measurements:
Card stock – 7 3/4 x 6 3/4″ (20 x 17 cm)
Score on the long side first at 3 1/8, 3 5/8, 6 3/4 and 7 1/4″ (8, 9.5, 17.5 and 19 cm)
Score on the short side at 1/2″ (1.5 cm)
Designer Series Paper – 6 x 2 7/8″ (15 x 7 cm)

I just LOVE this box! I think it would be great for Christmas or Easter gift giving and you could totally dress it up with some cute ribbon or a bit of punch work.
The sweeties in the box are some I bought from Amazon for the sweetie bar at out Wedding, but they just weren’t quite right – but they found there use! I still have a heap of them left so you never know who might be receiving some soon (maybe some lovely Stampin@Home participants, maybe!).
Measurements:
Box Base –
card stock; 6 x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm)
Score at 1″ (2.5 cm) on all four sides
Box Lid –
card stock; 5 9/16th x 5 9/16th (14.1 x 14.1 cm) I know these measurements are a little awkward but they make for the perfect lid that doesn’t fall off!
Score on all four sides at 3/4″ (2cm)
Now we need to cut that hole in the lid. My Stampin’ Trimmer is a European version, and only has metric measurements on the trimmer arm, so sorry but I only have metric measurements for this bit.
Insert the box lid into the trimmer and line up the first side at 10.2 cm, using the cutting blade on the trimmer to cut from 4 cm to 10.2 cm. Repeat this on all four sides and the centre square should just pop out!
Box Inserts –
I’ve used a different colour of card stock for the insides to add contrast, you could keep all the pieces the same colour if desired!
One piece of card stock measuring 4 x 5 1/2″ (10 x 14 cm)
Score on the long side at 2″ (5 cm) on both sides, flip over at score at 2 3/4″ (7 cm)
One piece of card stock measuring 2 x 5 1/2″ (5 x 14 cm)
Score on the long side at 2″ (5 cm) on both sides, flip over at score at 2 3/4″ (7 cm)
