Back in June I offered this stationery box as my class project. 



It was such a hit that I decided to make a video tutorial.  Normally when I post a video tutorial I also type out all of the dimensions, score lines, etc.  Well, this project was so involved and has so many pieces that I decided to make a pattern for you to download.

How fun is this???

Here are the basic dimensions that I used.  Not sure what else is out there for patterns as I just eyeballed this one.....

Pumpkin Pie: 8 1/2 x 7 1/2 scored at 2 inches along the bottom and the two sides (two of these are needed...these are the front and the back of the package), 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 for the flap scored at 2 inches (I used the Coluzzle to curve the flap front)

Create a tab from the bottom two 2x2 squares on the pumpkin pie cs by cutting one edge of the square off.  These two pieces of Pumpkin Pie make a bag front and a bag back that assemble together.  After they are attached, I creased the bag as you would for a 2x4x6x8 box.  Then attach the flap from the back.
Designer Series Paper: 3 1/4 x 6 1/4 for the front and 3 1/4 x 3 1/2 for the flap.  I used magnetic snaps to hold the flap down.  Have fun!

Mint Boxes

I made these cute little boxes the other day and was trying to figure out what to put in them. I tried two peppermint patty sammiches and they fit perfectly. Woo Hoo!! The boxes are super easy to make too. Cut card stock for the bottom 4 x 4 and score 1 & 1/16 inch all around. Cut pattern paper for the lid 3 x 3 score 1/2 inch all around. For the lid I took a 1 3/8 square punch and punched out the center. Because of this size cover, you can put the punch in all the way and it will be perfectly centered. I cut the acetate for the middle insert 2 x 2. Adhere the acetate to the underside of the lid then cut the flaps on the top and bottom and put it together to form a box and lid. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. LOL
Here is a link to the directions as well.

First Day of School

http://inkingidaho.blogspot.com/2008/08/first-day-of-school.html

You can check out the forum and project links http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=375759 . The pattern is a little vague, it is basically a 2,4,6,8 box with a flap for the top. It makes the backpack 4 1/2 " tall, but you know me, I love tiny things so naturally I cut mine down to 3 1/2" and it's so cute!! 

I closed the flap and the pocket with Velcro circles, used the new In Color ribbons and, shocking I know, Bella Rose DSP. These would be cute with candies oh...,and especially cute for Teacher Appreciation Week.

Here are our swaps. The theme was 2 6x6 scrapbook pages. AMAZING creations weSTAMPERS! Most of us are more into cards than scrapbooking, so I was curious to see how everyone's twist to putting a layout together. You gals blew me away! Here are the swaps:

Lorri Heiling: (I was inspired by this card HERE. I also saw a card from convention that had a sandcastle with the spiral punch for the top of it. Then MY HUSBAND actually sketched out the sandcastle for me on the right layout!! :) LOL

Some little trinkets from Momento Mall. (For you out of town weSTAMPERS, sorry to spoil the surprise. Yours are in the mail and you will soon be receiving them!)

The first item in the bag is a lip balm holder. The directions can be found HERE. This is a link from Renee's SCS gallery. There is also a pen included that has the Stampin' Up logo on it. The bag topper was made with the Statement of the Heart stamp.

The pattern for the Carousel Notes Purse Book is from Jan Tink's blog, which can be found HERE.It folds up to look like a purse, but when you open it, there are many places to add your own creativity to! Just add some pictures, and there is also some room for journaling on here, too. The carousel notes pull out and more pictures or journaling can be added to these.

THANKS for stopping by!
