Birthday Fishes Gift Box

To create this project I used:

Canned
Something Fishy Sentiment Stamp Set
Something Fishy Sentiment Die Set
Ciao Bella Border Stamp Set
Arched Box Large Die

This was a fun project to create.  I never thought I would ever build a sardine can LOL!  I used the canned dies to layer up the box with the base using 3 of the large can die cuts.  The first layer is kraft, then red and then the top is the silver cardstock.  

The fun part about the scored die included in the Canned die set is that the red flap on this 2nd layer becomes a door.  It is attached at the top but can easily be opened to reveal a gift card or cash inside.  So this little gift box will be hiding a an extra surprise!

After I attached the cash with some low tack removable adhesive, I glued the red panel onto the kraft panel to enclose the gift.  

After having the base complete, I attached the can front to the Arched Box Large Die.  It fits perfectly behind the large Canned die.  I layered the front with the silver panel, the little fish dies and the sentiments on the front to finish off the can part of the project.   

AND then you can fit one more surprise inside!

I added a little bag of Swedish Fish with a label made using the Ciao Bella Border Stamp Set and the Something Fishy Sentiment Stamp Set.

One last detail was a tag from Something Fishy Sentiment Stamp Set on the back of the die to finish it all off!

Coastal Cuttings Thank You Card

To create this card I used:

Coastal Cuttings Die Set

Cottage Tile Background Die

Simple Everyday Sentiment Stamp Set

Sentiment Suite Basics Die Set

Loopy Bow Builder Die

For this card, I used a yellow card base layered with the Cottage Tile Background Die. It is a large die but very easy to cut down to an A2 sized card front.  Coastal Cuttings Die Set was so easy to die cut and piece together.  I popped it up on foam tape and added in the Loopy Bow Builder Die in gold cardstock.  Adding in the sentiment from Simple Everyday Sentiment Stamp Set was last on that perfect little banner die from Sentiment Suite Basics Die Set.

I had so much fun creating today's projects!  Remember everything you see here will be available on Friday, July 10th at 10am eastern.

This will be available May 29th at 10am EST over at TheGreetery.com.  Click HERE to see the full collection!  It has the most adorable little sea creators with the signature Honeycomb belly look!  I created 3 cards today each with a different combo of the new Stencil, Die and Embossing Folder!  Keep scrolling to check them out....and to see what the prizes are for this weeks release!

  __________________________________

This first quick and simple card uses these new products:

 Hey Honeycomb: Seahorse Dies

Making Waves Embossing Folder

Hey Honeycomb Basics Die Set

I used the Embossing folder all by itself for this A2 sized card.  I love the dimension in the white card stock.  The seahorse really pops off the card this way.  I used the Basics Dies to create the centerpiece.  So easy and fun!

For this 5x7 card I used the following new supplies....

Hey Honeycomb Crab Die Set

Making Waves Stencil

Making Waves Die

Making Waves Embossing Folder

To create this background, I die cut first, stenciled and then embossed all for some fun detail and dimension.  I added that cutie little crab for a fun birthday card!

One last card....

Hey Honeycomb Fish Die

Making Waves Stencil

Making Waves Die

For this backround, I used the stencil and the die cut only.  I love how it looks die cut on a white backround.  I added in the Fish die cut with coordinating colors on the fins. 

Here are the Honeycomb Balls available with this release....

Honeycomb Balls Tricolor Tropics

Honeycomb Balls Heat Wave Mix

 __________________________________

So this first project is actually a card holder. Let's start with a supply list:

Capsule Party Scene Dies

Capsule Party Scene Stencils

Stationary Box Die

Take The Cake Stamp Set (Celebrate Sentiment)

I die cut all the pieces for the Stationary Box Die and then die cut one of them with the Capsule Party Scene Balloon Die.  I cut out 2 extra panels using the box die and then cut the banners in each one.  Before putting the box together, I used the Capsule Party Scene Stencils to add in colors to each of the 3 layers.  I used 1/4" foam squares to attach the 1st banner panel behind the ballon panel and again with the 2nd banner panel.  I was able to close up the Stationary box and still have room for a couple cards behind.  I slide in the blue cardstock with the sentiment to show through the party dies.  To finish it up, I added some Stickles to the stars on the front of the box. 

Just to add a coordinating card (although hard to see that with this photo...it really does coordinate in real life!), I made up this quick capsule banner card to go in the stationary box behind the party scene!

 __________________________________

This next card uses some old and some new:

For the Ages Dies

For the Ages Detail Dies

For the Ages Embossing Folder

Cake Pops Dies

This one was a fun and simple card to create.  I layered up the cake, candles and the sentiment and then added in the 2.  The 2 was so easy to create.  I first used the For the Ages Die to cut the base number, then I placed it in the embossing folder with a little removeable tape.  You can obviously cut the whole sheet of numbers but its super easy to just cut one out.  Then I ran it through to emboss.  This keeps that crisp embossing from getting flatted after die cutting.  I used the For the Ages Detail Die to add in the yellow outline for a little extra color.  And, of course, to finish this one off, I added more stickles!  Stickles make everything better!

 __________________________________

One last Pretty Picado Card....

Capsule Star Studded Border Dies

Pretty Picado Dies

Pretty Picado Blooms Dies

Pretty Picado Sentiment Set

Pretty Picado Sentiment Die

To create this card, I die cut the Star Studded Capsule in yellow cardstock and layered it with the Pretty Picado border die in white.  I added the most adorable Picado Blooms to the center and finished it off wtih a sentiment from Pretty the Picado Sentiment Set.

This first card was super quick and easy to make.  Here are my supplies:

A2 Arches Die Set

Laid Back Basics Stamp Set

Market Place Celebration Street Dies

3 simple products to make this quick card.   After die cutting the arched panel, I added it to a white card base with fun foam for some dimension.  Next, I stamped the sentiment from Laid Back Basics.  I absolutley love this font!  I die cut all the little pieces for the bike and balloons from the new Market Place Celebration Street Die set.   Super easy!!

__________________________________

Next up is the new Pretty Picado Suite.  Here are the new products I used for this card:

Pretty Picado Stencil Set

Pretty Picado Embossing Folder

Pretty Picado Sentiment Set

Pretty Picado Sentiment Die

Capsule Basics Die Set

And the supplies for the box:

Arch Box Mini Die

Pretty Picado Cut-Away Sentiment Die

Pretty Picado Background Stamp

To create this 5"x7" card, I first die cut the large scalloped die and the largest capsule die using orange and white card stock.  I added the color to the capsule using the Pretty Picado Stencils.  I just love the design that was so easy to make with a little ink blending!  Next, I placed the stenciled panel into the embossing folder and lined it up with the embossing lines.  I ran it through my die cut machine and out came the perfectly embossed panel! I attached it to the large scalloped panel and then added in the sentiment from the Pretty Picado Stamp Set.  I heat embossed the Hello with some glittery embossing powder and added it to the card front to finish it off. 

After stamping a piece of orange cardstock with the Pretty Picado Background Stamp and some Versamark Ink, I die cut the Arched Mini Box to coordinate with the card.  I used the Pretty Picado Cut-Away Sentiment Die to add a fun detail to the box and then lined it with white cardstock.  I finished off the box with a coordinated green bow to tie in the treat!
