Ghirardelli Treat Packages

Posted on August 29, 2021August 29, 2021 by debjoysmeak

Do you need table favors, gifts for teachers, birthday treats or fun giveaways at work? I’ve got you covered! I made these treats Halloween-themed, but you can really make them for any occasion.

Instructions:

Cut a piece of DSP 3″ x 6″. For the treat to open on the side (as shown), have the 6″ side be “up.” To open from the bottom (ideal for table favors with names) then make sure you have the 3″ side be “up.”

Ghirardelli treats are nearly 3/8″ of an inch thick so that’s what the gusset should be. Place DSP in the trimmer long side up with the left side of the paper on the 3″ mark (in half). Move it over to the left 3/16″ and score and then back to the 3″ mark and to the right another 3/16″ to score. This gives a gusset of exactly 3/8″. Fold on these score lines.

Use a 1/4″ hole punch to punch 2 holes in the “open” side of the treat to tie it closed with a ribbon. Cut 10″ of ribbon, which will make a nice small bow. If you like bigger bows use 12″ or more of ribbon.

Use Stamp ‘n Seal+ on the inside to secure the treat down. Close the front flap, feed the ribbon through the back of the holes and tie the bow. Use the Everyday Label punch in coordinating cardstock colors to your DSP and decorate to suit your needs. I used stamps from the Cutest Halloween stamp set and the Halloween punch (or fussy cutting) to get images from the DSP. In the tutorial video, I used the cat punch to add a fun twist to this collection. There are also BONUS extra treats for other occasions shown at the end of the video.

Snailed It Stationery Set

Posted on June 19, 2021June 19, 2021 by debjoysmeak

I’m so glad you stopped by to check out this stationery set using the soon-to-be retiring Snailed It bundle. I included a mini paper pad, 2 note cards & envelopes and a velcro booklet to hold them all together. I’m sorry to say the DSP is already sold out. But it’s still super cute and you could make this with your own handmade DSP using the stamp set or other paper you have so I’m still going to share it. Be sure to grab a copy of the stamp set and dies (the dies are half off!) before they sell out too!

First take one sheet of 8-1/2″ x 11″ cardstock and cut it down to 7-5/8″ x 11″.

You will cut this on the long side at 4-9/16″ to get the two pieces below.

Score the piece on the left at 3/8″ along the right side and 2″ up from the bottom for the pocket. Keep the little tab on the bottom right and fold and glue on that panel to add a little gusset to hold the cards.

The other piece on the right should be 6-7/16″ wide by 7-5/8″ tall. Score that piece at 3/8″ along the left side, 1-1/2″ from the right side and again 3/8″ in from that, and also 2″ up from the bottom for the pocket.

Snip off the bottom right corner on the right panel.

See the tabs on the bottom of the right panel on both sides? Snip those off too, it was too loose to put in the notebook with those still on. You’ll be using a thin line of liquid glue to fold up the pockets. Add an extra line of glue along the bottom of the right pocket, where the fold is. That way the notepad is more centered on the panel and doesn’t “sink” too low.

I got the notepads from the Dollar Tree in a stack of 5. I just used one of the notepads and slipped the cardboard backing in the pocket after it was glued and dry. This way the notepad can be replaced once it runs out of paper.

I added DSP to the front cut at 4″ x 5-1/2″ and 1-7/8″ x 5-1/2″ using the Snailed It DSP. I also punched some patterns from this paper using the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch. The envelope die in these dies is so stinking cute! That envelope die and the stitched postage label die used below are worth getting the die set alone, especially at half off. Such useful pieces.

I created two note cards using the DSP and the stitched label die. The snails are cut out from the DSP too. There are stamps that match these exact images in the stamp set since the DSP is sold out. I stamped the notepad with the mushrooms to add some extra cuteness. That’s stamped in Calypso Coral. I was going to do Blushing Bride to match the DSP but I didn’t want it to be too subtle. I thought the Real Red would be too harsh.

Can you see the velcro dot on the inside of the right panel? It’s clear so it’s pretty hard to see. I like those small velcro dots as they don’t add a lot of bulk to papercrafts. I could have put a small magnet under the DSP on the front sides instead, but I haven’t used my velcro dots in a while. You can also see the two 1/8″ holes I punched in the front panel to secure the Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon. I thought it added a nice flair to the front.

Thank you for stopping by! Be sure to keep hopping along to see other retiring favorites by others on the Stamping with Friends Design Team. Don’t forget to place your order before your favorites are gone for good. Happy stamping!

Gift Wallet for the guys

Posted on May 28, 2021May 28, 2021 by debjoysmeak

This wallet is perfect for Father’s Day, graduation, birthday or really anything “manly.” I must give credit where credit is due; I got the cutting directions for this from Dannie Hussey’s YouTube video from 2008. Since it’s 13 years later and we have different products now I thought it would be a great time to bring it back.

Fill it with homemade “coupons,” nice sentiments about why you’re proud of them, money, a check, tickets, a gift card, you name it! I’d love to see what you do with it. Send me an email at debjoysmeak@delightofmyart.com with your project picture!

Cinnamon Cider cardstock:

9″ x 3-1/2″ – score at 4-7/16″ and 4-9/16″ and all corners rounded

8-1/2″ x 3-1/4″ – score at 4-1/4″

(2) 4-3/16″ x 2″

(2) 4-3/16″ x 1″

Card Inserts:

3-1/2″ x 2″

Follow along with the video for instructions on how to sponge on the color to really make the cardstock look like leather. Add some gold embossed details on Early Espresso to add some jazz without losing that manly feel.

I’ll be making a girly wallet soon so stay tuned! Happy stamping!

Do you really need more butterflies?

Posted on March 3, 2021March 3, 2021 by debjoysmeak

Yes. The answer is yes. Haha! I have a couple of butterfly bundles already and I didn’t think I needed another set…but then I laid eyes on all that is in this limited-time collection. The papers are just so beautiful and the dies…the dies are AMAZING! Solid outlines cut out 6 butterflies at once and there are 6 detailed lacy butterfly dies, plus 3 fun texture dies and 2 mini butterflies. I’m thrilled with this whole collection. The bundle will actually be available in the next annual catalog, BUT the papers are limited time only! I was thinking about just getting the paper (because it’s a must), but I am glad I caved in to getting the whole thing.

The colors in this paper are so pretty together. They are Basic Black, Bermuda Bay, Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral, Just Jade, Magenta Madness, Mango Melody, Mint Macaron, Misty Moonlight, Poppy Parade, So Saffron and White. One side of the paper has fun butterfly patterns and the other side is more subtle with happy blends of softer colors and patterns. Do you see the pink and blue “camo” looking patterns? They look awesome cut out with the detailed butterfly dies. I just laid the dies over the paper and snipped around it to save paper before I ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine. These look amazing layered over coordinating solid cardstock!

Speaking of intricate die cuts, I tried to go ahead and cut 6 detailed butterflies at once in vellum. That didn’t work so good. It needed another pass through the machine to really get it and since the images filled the whole plate the front ones were shifting by the time the back ones came through. It really worked amazing when I did one at a time and ran it back and forth twice in the machine. Then all the little pieces just fell out like magic. I hope this tip saves you some time and frustration. The detailed dies are sooo pretty, but run them back and forth twice to save yourself from poking out every little piece. 👍

And check out this fun piece of DSP with all the big colorful butterflies on it. There is a big die that cuts out all of them in ONE pass through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine! Six butterflies all ready to go on your projects in one pass. Love. It.

I made a fun Shadow Box using this collection today. You can view the replay of the Facebook Live HERE on YouTube. I had an epiphany right before filming this today and you’ll have to watch the video on my fun tip for making the butterflies so 3D and colorful they nearly jump out of the box. I’m so pleased with myself with this one! Let me know what you think.

I hope you like this Butterfly Bouquet collection as much as I do. If you LOVE it, there is one item code to add the whole collection to your cart. I love that Stampin’ Up! knows me so well that they gave me an easy button to get it all. If your order is under $150, please use Host Code JTVK4JCJ for March 2021.

Happy stamping!

Magnetic Gift Card Holder

Posted on February 12, 2021February 12, 2021 by debjoysmeak

I just love magnetic closures. It’s so satisfying hearing the ‘click’ closed. This project uses the Posted for You bundle in the Annual catalog. You can save 10% on this both the stamp set and punch if you get them bundled through May 3, 2021. I love this stamp set and the punch is a MUST HAVE for sentiments. It can pair with so many things and stamp shapes are super cute. Did you know you can make a smaller size punched image by inserting it back into the punch? They keep releasing other stamp sets to coordinate with it as well, like the Festive Post (retired) from the recent holiday catalog and the new Snailed It bundle in the new spring mini so I feel like it is extra versatile.

The measurements for this project:

Base: 11″ x 4-1/4″ (half a piece of cardstock), scored on the long side halfway at 5-1/2″, flipped over and scored from both ends at 3″ – Fold into a W fold.

DSP: 2-7/8″ x 4-1/8″, corners rounded on one long side (Use one for the front and two for the inside, optional for the back)

I used the Classic label punch and 1-1/2″ circle punch to punch the hole for the gift card. You can watch my tutorial on YouTube for a visual on how it goes together. I show an alternate version at the end of the video using the Heartfelt stamp and punches bundle. I also LOVE these layering heart punches. Check out the video to see the Navy and Calypso Coral Valentine’s version. ❤

Paper Pumpkin Alternative – Mailbox Treats!

Posted on February 9, 2021February 9, 2021 by debjoysmeak

Mailboxes are especially cute because we send cards. And when we get to make tiny ones and fill them with candy and deliver a mailbox…gah, adorable. We had fun on the Live today making these little treats, even though my camera wouldn’t orient the correct way! We powered through and made it work anyway. You can view the video here on YouTube:

Here are the mailbox measurements:

Patterned paper: 5-1/2″ x 3-1/4″, scored at 1/2″ on each shorter side

Plain coordinating Cardstock: 6″ x 5-1/2″

1. Place the plain cardstock in the trimmer with the 5-1/2″ side up and cut at 3/4″, set aside strip.

2. Rotate to 6″ side up and cut at 3″. You’ll have 2 equal pieces, set one aside.

3. Place one piece on the 4-3/4″ side up and cut at 3-1/4″. Discard cut off.

4. Turn same back to 3″ side up and cut at 1-1/2″ to get two equal pieces at 1-1/2 x 3-1/4″

5. Bring back other 4-3/4″ x 3″ and score on all sides at 3/4″

6. Cut flaps and notch them. Cut them on the long side so they tuck into the sides and not the front of the box.

7. Add adhesive to flaps and assemble box.

8. Bring back 3/4″ strip with 6″ side up. Score at 1/2″, and then move over to almost 1-1/4″ and cut. This is the front pull tab.

9. Cut two more pieces at 1/2″ to create two sides of the flag.

10. Rotate short side up and cut a strip at 1/4″

11. Trim this 1/4″ piece to 2″, this is the flag pole.

12. Assemble according to video. 🙂

I used Poppy Parade as my cardstock color along with the January 2021 Paper Pumpkin Kit – Sending Hearts and the optional add on.

Valentine’s Day favors

Posted on January 12, 2021January 12, 2021 by debjoysmeak

I made these a few years ago for a craft fair and they were a hit. They are simple to put together, but are so stinking cute for the easy effort. I have a tutorial on YouTube here, or you can watch it on my Facebook page here and make comments and post your own versions. Here are the dimensions again for reference:

Base – 1″ x 3 5/8″, scored at 1 1/8″ at each end, corners rounded

Wrap – 1 3/8″ x 4 1/2″, score at 3/4″ on one end

Flag – 1″ x 1/4″ plus a mini punched heart

Some of the DSP is retired, but that’s the beauty of this project. You can use what you have on hand to create it as long as you have a paper pattern you like and a matching color cardstock. I listed the current and retired patterns I used below and also the one that’s coming in a couple of days that I ordered to use on this project: Love You Always Specialty Designer Series Paper (which will also be GORGEOUS for other things as well). I’ll post pictures of the mailboxes made with the new paper on Facebook after my order comes in in a few days. If you do wish to place any orders, cash in on Sale-a-bration and earn free stuff, please use host code JTVK4JCJ during January 2021. (If your order is over $150, don’t use the host code.)

If you make some of these mailboxes I would be thrilled to see them! You’re welcome to post pictures under the Facebook Live video HERE. This is a no-stamping project, but I still wish you Happy Stamping! 😊
