Stampin up–Treat card with Instructions

This little Quick and Easy Treat card i came across ages ago from another Stampin Up Demo – Joanne Friend after searching for her today to link to her in this post with her instructions – i couldnt find her and her blog seems to no longer exist : ( sob!  i cant give her credit and i cant take the credit - its fab though and im going to share the instructions with you today – i hope Joanne doesnt mind… they where on her blog anyway..

So heres the little Treat card..

I filled my little box with little mini eggs in little cellophane bags

Instructions

Score on short side @ 2cm and 8.5cm

 

Score on long side at 1cm, 4cm, 7cm, 10cm, 13cm and 21cm

then cut away shaded areas marked

snip into each side to first score line

mark centre of first rectangle this will be the peep hole

Apply re sticky tape to flap

Peel off tape backing and stick to the 13cm (last score line so you end up with the little box

‘Bloomin’ Marvelous’ Wine bottle tag

 

Morning crafters….

As you read this i shall be on route to a Stampin’ Up! training event, the wonders of technology and schedule post hey!!

As Ive told you in the past when us demonstrators meet we love to swap ideas with each other, this times theme is the up and coming ‘Sale-a-bration’ promotion – heres my swap (excludes bottle hehe)

The cute tag fits a small bottle of wine..

I thought id provide these instuctions for anyone interested in recreating the tags, there straight forward – they kinda needed to be with 40 to make!!!!

Cut base card at 14.8cm x 6cm score at 6cm

cut layer at 14.3cm x 5.5cm score at 5.5cm

as you can see from the pic above i punched my sentiment back ground layer and the scallop circle from my base, i did this to save on card – id advise you do these out of off cuts of card.

now your ready to stamp up the layer, i’ve used the Bloomin’ Marvelous Sale-a-bration stamp set – which is available for FREE with a £45 order from 22nd January.

punching the scallop circle for the neck of the bottle – from spare card stock punch a 1-1/4” circle, then punch the scallop circle 1-3/4” hoovering over circle centrally. you should end up with something like the pic below.. if ive made my instructions clear

now your ready to stick your stamped layer to your base card, make sure you line up your score lines.

Stamp out your sentiment – punch out with the small oval punch,

Glue scallop oval onto bottle tag.. at bottom ensuring short score line at top.

add sentiment – i used dimensional sticky pads…

Now punch out on small section circle using 1-1/4” circle punch – mark centre of top if easier to line up punch

now stick scallop circle on,

I cut out 40!! of these little flowers to finish off my tag… i embossed it to give it dimension… as below – then glued to edge of sentiment .

heres – my finished bottle tag… hope you enjoyed to days tutorial…

Sneaky Peek Sale-a-Bration 2013

 

So I told you all the other day that sale-a-bration is coming very sooooooon how exciting it is, it starts on 22nd January, and i cant wait to show you all whats available for FREE this year – its BIG and more exciting than EVER before.

Today I thought I’d show you what I’ve been creating with one of the stamps from one of the FREE stamp sets.. some Thank you cards – which im sure youve all been busy making…

The cards Ive been making also tie in perfectly with the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge:

CFC84: Create a Clean And Simple Thank You card

 

I’snt the font gorgeous and the complete Stamp set is too but youll have to wait to see it  – its so funky and i felt the stamp alone  needed no frills so i came up with this design - just the stamp repeated and a diamonte for sparkle..

Each card features 4 inks in different shades of the same colour, rather than using different generations of the same ink – which could though look good too.

As I said before this years Sale-a-Bration is HUGE with more than just stamp sets for FREE, To earn Sale-a-Bration goodies for FREE during 22nd January – 22nd March spend £45.00 and pick a product for FREE – it really is that simple, Host a party with Friends, family, neighbours and colleagues and they get to share in the freebies too plus as the hostess you get even more FREE stampin’ up! goodies too.. with a £150 party sales youll get on top of the usual £25.00 Hostess credit a FREE pack of Silver glimmer Paper. £300 party sales youll get a FREE pack of silver glimmer paper, Plus a FREE product bundle plus the normal hostess credit of £50.00 and 1 item at 50% off…
