It’s time for the OSAT Blog Hop for September! This month’s theme is “I Need a Hero.” I opted to make a CAS eclipse card using the Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the Large Letters Framelits Dies. I also used the Sunshine Sayings stamp set, Classic Label Punch, and Festive Farmhouse Elements wooden embellishments. The coordinating Tiny Treat Box is made with the same DSP, and with Burlap ribbon and Frames Elements wooden embellishments. You can give these to any hero in your life.

Here’s what I made:

Here’s what I did:

Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:

• Basic Black card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
• Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″
• Whisper White CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″ for the inside of the card base
• DSP cut to 2″ x 6″ and scored at 2″ and 4″
• DSP cut to 2″ x 8″ and scored at 2″, 4″, and 6″

Stamped with the Sunshine Sayings stamp set:

• card sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink onto a scrap of Whisper White Thick CS
• box sentiment in black Stazon ink onto a wooden embellishment

Die cut using the Large Letters Framelits:

• HERO from the DSP card layer, saving all the pieces

Cut using the Classic Label Punch:

• card sentiment

Cut using the 1/2″ Circle Punch:

• a semicircle from the front end of the 2″ x 8″ DSP strip

Colored using a Stampin’ Write Marker:

• frame of the wooden element on the box in Basic Black

Assembled the card:

• burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
• DSP layer glued onto the front of the card base
• inside pieces of the die cut letters R and O glued in place onto the card base
• die cut letters HERO adhered over the cut out spaces in the DSP layer using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals
• sentiment adhered onto the DSP layer using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals
• 3 small wooden stars glued onto the card front as shown
• Whisper White CS glued onto the inside of the card base

Assembled the box:

• Burnished all scored lines in the two 2″ wide DSP strips.
• Assembled a Tiny Treat Box
• inserted the 8″ strip into the box, to line the front, bottom, back and lid, being sure to have the semicircle cut out in the front
• inserted the 6″ strip into the box, to line the two sides and the bottom
• put treats in the box and closed it up
• wrapped Burlap ribbon around the box and adhered the ends to the back of the wooden element using Tear & Tape, just loose enough to be able to slide it on and off the box
