November 2025 Paper Pumpkin kit Featured a 3D Christmas Tags and gift box set and came with all the supplies to make 8 tags and boxes, colored instruction pages and a link to a video instruction as well!

The Paper Pumpkin Kits as well as our Kits Collection make great birthday gifts!

The Gift Box requires no adhesive and is pre-scored! Simply fold along all of the score lines, fold in the four small tabs and wrap the two ends over the tabs to enclose them inside the sides of the box.
Fold the top and close the box.

The box is printed on both sides and is reversible – crumb cake colored plaid on one side and a shiny Mossy Meadow patterned inside!

Gather all the supplies for the first page’s tag and box.

Following the directions, I punched out all of the die cut pieces and stamped the wreath image in the Mossy Meadow ink provided in the kit on the Mossy Meadow smaller tag, and stamped Merry Christmas on the banner die.
I placed three Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals provided, to the colored side of the holly wreath die cut, and three glue dots provided to the darker side of the leafy wreath.
I adhered the holly wreath over the stamped wreath on the tag, then adhered the leafy wreath over the holly. I placed to Mini Dimensionals on the banner and one in the center of the bow and added them to the tag.
I cut the linen thread at 12 inches and tied the larger tag to the back of the smaller tag and tied the thread into a bow.
I added threee of the red holly berry dot embellishments provided in the kit to the tag to complete this one! So Pretty!
I placed three mini dimensionals to the upper portion of the back of the larger tag and adhered it to the box top.
Following the directions on the second page for the second tag – I stamped the back of the smaller tag (I also did this with the first tag but forgot to photograph that step OOPS SORRY!)
I added the two different sprigs with glue dots as shown in the directions to the smaller tag, popped up the paper bow with one mini dimensional and tied the larger Mossy Meadow tag to the back of the tag and tied it in a bow.
I added three red dots to the tag to complete this tag.
I turned this next box inside out to show the pretty Mossy Meadow side!
I added three mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the larger tag back and adhered it to the gift box.
I finished the rest of the boxes changing the configurations of the pieces to make them a little unique. You have more than enough banners to put one on each box even though the directions do not add it to the #2 tag.
These boxes are so much prettier than any store bought gift box and a perfect size for gift cards or a little surprise that I got all of my children this year – so I already have them filled!

Hope you are coming along with all your baking and decorating and wrapping! Enjoy the season and making it special for all your loved ones as well as taking time out each day to take care of yourself too!

Now go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

bonus post – hoppy easter treat box

bonus post – hoppy easter treat box

by | Apr 19, 2025 | 3D projects, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, retiring products, stamps ink paper, techniques

I normally post three times a week but sometimes I just have something special I have to share right away! This morning I stumbled upon an adorable Easter 3D treat box and decided to make them up for my Easter table -so while I was creating them I took photos and wanted to share the instructions!

Happy Easter to all and a special thank you to United Kingdom demonstrator Stacey Marsh for the inspiration I converted her project to imperial measurements but I took the inspiration from her you tube video and loved it!

Measurements:
BASE BOX: Pool Party two-tone cardstock
(1) 6″ square
(2) 2″ x 12″ strips scored at 2″ and 8″
DSP: (2) 2″ squares

Today I decorated the treat boxes with the Playing in the Rain stamp set and dies which I LOVE especially this little bunny and it is currently on the LAST CHANCE LIST – which means WHILE SUPPLIES LAST

As of this afternoon they were ON SALE and still available!

I stamped the sweet bunny from this set in Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

I colored the body of the bunny with the Ivory Stampin’ Blends marker.
Next I colored the body of the bunny with the retired SU 600 Stampin’ Blends marker, from the skin tone set but you could easily substitute another brown like Light Pecan Pie.
Next I blended the body of the bunny with the retired SU 700 Stampin’ Blends marker, from the skin tone set but you could easily substitute another brown like Light Crumb Cake.
Then I went over the entire body area and blended all of them with the Ivory marker again.
I colored the inside of the ears, the nose and the jacket with Light Flirty Flamingo.
I highlighted those areas with the Dark Flirty Flamingo.
And then I blended over the entire pink areas with the Light marker to blend.
I colored in the puddle water with Light Pool Party Stampin’ Blends.
Then highlighted the water with the Dark Pool Party Blends.
Then I went back over the puddle with the Light marker to blend it.
Score the 6″ square piece of Pool Party Two-tone cardstock at 2″, turn 90 degrees and score at 2″, turn 90 degrees and score again at 2″ and one more time turn 90 degrees and score at 2″.
Your square should have 9 equal squares scored into the surface.

Then move the square to the 4 1/2″ mark and score above the 2″ score line and below the 4″ score line. Turn the square 180 degrees and position the left-hand edge of the card stock at the 4 1/2″ line and repeat scoring from the 2″ score line to the top of the cardstock and from the 4″ score line to the bottom of the page.

You should be able to see the score lines in the second photo.

Position the cardstock so that the squares with the extra score lines are in the four corners and the extra score line is horizontal.
Cut along the dark lines in the photo and then snip the edges to form a tab as shown with the smaller dark diagonal lines.
Rotate the square 180 degrees and repeat the cuts and the opposite side.

Your finished square will resemble the second photo.

Crease all score lines with a bone folder – the secret to a great box is well creased score lines.
Place Tear-n-Tape on the tabs.
Remove the paper release tape from the Tear-n-Tape and form the box by matching up the tab and the side edges so they are even and rub the inside so that the tape adheres well.
Adhere your 2″ DSP squares to the side of the box that does not have the tabs adhered to it.
I stamped Oh, Happy Day from the Playing in the Rain stamp set in Tuxedo Black memento ink and die cut from the Stylish Shapes die set.
I die cut the bunny and fussy cut the puddle.
I adhered the puddle on the lower left hand side of the box that had the less busy DSP. I popped up the bunny on Stampin’ Dimensionals above the puddle and added the sentiment circle die to the right side – it is ok to hang these over the side of the box.
I stamped the sentiment a second time and fussy cut the O and adhered it over the A in Happy to change the word to Hoppy for Easter!
I scored the 2 strips of Two-tone Cardstock at 2″ and 8″.
I curled the paper with my bone folder.
Adhere the 2″ side with Tear-nTape or other strong adhesive to the bottom of the box.
Adhere the other piece on the 2″ side with Tear-n-Tape or other strong adhesive on top of the other 2″ adhered strip to the bottom of the box. The strips will look like wings extended in opposite directions.
Place tape at the top of the strip – the side that has the 4″ score line. Bend at the score line and instead of adhering flat push the edge with the adhesive upwards and adhere to the inside of the strip so that there is a bow in the top – see photo.
Do this on both strips, these will be the “ears” of the bunny basket.
Place the strips together and tie a coordinating ribbon around the strips and below the “ears”.
I added name tags to the ribbons with the new Hole Punch assortment punches so these will be my placeholders for Easter Dinner.

I filled them with candy since my children are too old for Easter Baskets but not too old for the candy!!

So, so cute! Save this to make for next year’s Easter table!

Have a Blessed Day and I hope you get time to create tomorrow!

Happy Stampin’
Natalie

This is what my table will look like tomorrow!

3D memo holder

3D memo holder

by | Sep 29, 2023 | 3D projects, Designer Series Paper, stamps ink paper, techniques

I don’t usually do 3D projects – but this one is fairly simple and useful.

Measurements:
Pretty Peacock CS 10 1/2″ x 3 3/4″
7″ x 4 3/4″
2 1/4″ x 1 1/2″
DSP: 3 1/2″ x 2 1/4″
3 1/2″ x 3″

Cut the first piece of cardstock
10 1/2″ x 3 3/4″
score at 4″, 8″, 9″, 10″ score with bone folder

Cut 7″ x 4 3/4″ in Pretty Peacock, score at 4″ and 4 1/2″, turn 90 degrees and score 1/2″ from each long end.
Score on longer side at 1 1/2″ from the top of the long side to the 1/2″ score line.
Score on the longer side at 1 1/2″ from the bottom of the long side to the 1/2″ score line.
Cut at the 4″ line from the top and the bottom to the 1/2″ score line. Cut at the 4 1/2″ line from the top and the bottom to the 1/2″ score line. Cut away a small triangle from either side to make a tab as shown on the pattern in the photo.
Take the longer piece of Pretty Peacock – score at each of the score lines. Place a line of Tear & Tape on the 1/2″ end piece.
Fold over the 4″ score and adhere the 1/2 inch fold to the end of the 4″ side of the fold. The finished product will look like the photo below.
Place the Tear & Tape on the two long side tabs and the two small tabs on the backside of the memo holder.
Adhere the 3 /12″ x 3″ on the larger inside panel.
Fold the smaller panel upward and adhere the 3 1/2″ x 2 1/4″ to the outside panel.
Remove the Tear & Tape release paper and adhere the sides of the memo box.
The completed box will look like this.
Score a 2 1/4″ x 1 1/2″ piece of cardstock at 1/2″ and 1″. Place a piece of Tear & Tape on each 1/2″ scored edge. Remove the release paper and pinch the two edges together. Place the folded paper inside the box along one side making a smaller box inside the larger box.
Place the Tear & Tape around the front of the easel. Release the paper and stick the memo holder onto the easel.
Place the memos in the box and the pen in the smaller box.
The smaller front piece is the perfect place for a small calendar or my business card.

This is a wonderful 3D project, useful and easy!

I hope you try this 3D project, go create a piece of artwork on your own, one stamp at a time.

Happy Stampin’
Natalie

faceted vertical diamond fold easel card

faceted vertical diamond fold easel card

by | Mar 31, 2023 | 3D projects, Designer Series Paper, fun fold, retiring products, stamps ink paper, techniques

This is the time of year in the Stampin’ Up! world were we say good-bye to lots of favorite products in the outgoing Annual Catalog and get ready to make space for all of the new things to come.
This project is made with one of the best paper packs that is retiring – it is a hostess only set and if you hostess a workshop of $150 dollars or more in the last month of this catalog you can order the hostess only sets and Designer series papers at a discount! This pack contains 12 sheets of 12″ x 12″ DSP 2 each of 6 designs in toned of Blackberry Bliss, Daffodil Delight, Mint Macaron (retiring), Old Olive, Petal Pink, and Pool Party.
This project is a fun 3D card that I made back in March I posted it last week as one of my favorite projects for the year and then realized I had never posted it on my blog – OOPS! So here it is!

Measurements
BASE: Pool Party Cardstock
5-1/2” x 8-1/2” scored parallel to the short side at 4-1/4”
Basic White Cardstock
2-3/4” x 5-1/4”
Design a Daydream Designer Series Paper
5” x 5-1/4” – cut from the left edge at 1-7/8” and again at 1-7/8” to get three consecutive strips: two pieces that are 1-7/8” x 5-1/4” and one that is 1-1/4” x 5-1/4”

Cut a piece of Pool Party Cardstock to 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and score at 4 1/4″. Flatten the cardstock out and place the left edge of the long side at the 2 3/4″ (which is half of the 5 1/2″ side.) On the front half of the card make a cut starting 3/4″ above the score line to 3/4″ below the top edge of the card. If you are cutting your cardstock with our awesome Stampin’ Trimmer the guide is clear and has ruler markings on it so you would begin the cut 3/4″ above the 4 1/4″ score line making the starting cut at the 3 1/2″ mark on the clear guide ruler and cut until the 3/4″ mark on the clear ruler guide.
Next score at the 2 1/8″ mark down the middle of the card front.
Using a ruler and a pencil draw a small mark at 3/4″ from the top and bottom of the card along the score line that runs down the middle of the card front. Place the top dot in the cutting track of your Stampin’ Trimmer and place the outside edge of the slit in the track as well – score a diagonal line from the top dot to the right edge of the slit. Place the right edge of the slit in the cutting track and now swivel the card to place the bottom dot in the track as well and score a diagonal line from the right side of the slit to the bottom dot. Continue to swivel the card placing the bottom dot and the edge of the left side of the slit in the track and score the diagonal line. Finally complete the scored diamond shape by placing the left side of the slit and the top dot in the cutting track and score the diagonal line between those two points.
Fold the score line down the middle of the card front into a mountain fold and the diamond score lines inward – the card should look like the photo below.
Lie the Designer series paper out so that the pattern matches up and take the right hand piece first and add a generous amount of Stampin’ Dimensionals all around the outside edge (this will be the edge for the easel base of the card. Place the DSP with about 1/8″ border around the outside edges.
Adhere the Basic White cardstock adjacent to the DSP leaving a 1/8″ border between the DSP and the Basic White cardstock.
Take the remaining two pieces of DSP and lining up the pattern hinge them together so that the pattern you want to be the outside pattern is together on the inside. See photo below of me hinging the DSP together.
The colorful pattern is matched up on the inside touching each other and the green polka dot pattern is facing outwards.
Mark on the outside a dot in pencil 1/2″ down from the top of the DSP, 1/2″ up from the bottom of the DSP and 1/2″ from the right side of the paper at the 2 5/8″ mark.
Cut along the diagonal lines formed from connecting the three dots .
Cut the middle triangle in half across the middle at the 2 5/8″ mark creating four triangle pieces for the center of the diamond.
Adhere the outside edges of the DSP to the outsides of the diamond fold and the smaller triangles to the inside folds of the diamond.
Add a pencil mark to the middle of the white cardstock that shows through when the fun fold is in the easel position and stamp a small sentiment over the pencil mark so that the sentiment peeks through the small window made by the faceted diamond.
Add some pearls and your fancy fold is complete! This card folds flat for mailing but can stand alone when popped up in the easel format!
Hope you enjoyed this 3D fun fold card!
Go and try it with some of your own pretty DSP and create some art of your own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
