Sealed With Love Milk Carton

Sealed With Love Milk Carton

I really like Stampin' Up!'s Baker's Box Thinlits Dies. In the past I've made a bunch to fill and give as school treats for my son's classmates. For this Valentine's Day, I needed to make some more, but I had one problem. The quantity and packaging of the treats I purchased wouldn't fit in the Baker's Box, nor any other Stampin' Up! container. What to do? What to do?
Well, I decided to put my engineering skills to work and create a larger version of the Baker's Box. I decided to call my version a Milk Carton, because that's just what it resembles. The finished dimensions of the Milk Carton are about the same as the Baker's Box, except that it is taller and a little wider. Most importantly it allows me to stuff more goodies inside, so problem solved. It's such an easy and quick project. I hope you'll give it a try!

Sealed With Love Valentine Card

Sealed With Love Valentine Card

Believe it or not, I do make lots and lots of cards. I'm always posting tutorials for making paper crafted home décor items. It might appear as if I don't use my Stampin' Up! supplies to make cards, but I definitely do.  I figured it was time to post a tutorial for a card design.

So here it is. What do you think?

I'm loving the new Sealed With Love stamps and coordinating dies. Oh, and I must not forget the new Sending Love Designer Series Paper Stack, which is filled with traditional Real Red and Whisper White patterns. I ❤ LOVE ❤ the selection of red and white designs, because the traditional Valentine colors work for everyone.

Here are the cardstock  measurements I used to make this card:

• Card base: Real Red Cardstock 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, scored @ 4 1/4, and folded in half.
• Card layers: Real Red and Whisper White, 5 3/8 x 4 1/8

As always, you can find a video tutorial below, as well as a shopping list of links to my Stampin' Up! website where you can purchase the supplies needed for this project.
