It’s time for the OSAT Blog Hop! This month’s theme is Don’t go breaking my heart in honor of Valentine’s Day. Remember the song by Elton John and Kiki Dee? If not, you can watch the video here. My project has plenty of hearts – a large one from the Painted with Love Designer Series Paper, and small ones from the Sure Do Love You stamp set – and fortunately none of them are broken.
I’m on a ship right now (I’m actually at a live performance by Casey McPherson as I type this, so if there are any typos, that’s why!) My sister, and Candy Hearts team member, Judy Newsome, is house sitting. When I realized I’d forgotten to make the projects for today before I left, I contacted her and begged for help. Of course, she obliged because that’s the kind of gal she is. Between the two of us, we designed the card and treat box, and she actually made and photographed them. So while it was a team effort, she did the lion’s share of the work. Thanks, Judy!
Be sure to hop around to all the blogs listed below. You don’t want to miss any of the great projects by this group!
Here’s what we made:

Today’s project is so quick and easy it really doesn’t need instructions, but since I know some folks will ask if I don’t explain how it’s done, I will. This little treat is a lemon lime dream. Lemon Lime Twist paper (from the Eastern Palace Designer Series Paper) and actual lemon lime jelly beans match perfectly. And you know how I like stuff to match!
You can whip up a bunch of these little treats, in any color you choose, in no time. The box goes together in seconds. Wouldn’t they be darling on a table, maybe one box on each place setting? Or if you need a bunch of cute little somethings in a hurry for a gathering, your child’s classmates, coworkers, you name it! Just think of all the possibilities!
FYI, a little square Pandora charm box fits inside this treat box perfectly. I’m thinking a ring box would as well.
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 1″ x 9″, then scored at 2″, 4″, 6″, and 8″
Cut using the Bow Builder Punch:
- a scrap of Whisper White card stock
- NOTE: cut twice to have enough pieces for one bow. There will be one small piece left over.
Assembled the project:
- assembled a Clear Tiny Treat Box
- NOTE: when folding in the bottom flaps, you’ll see there’s one flap with 2 sticky-outy pieces, one flap with 1 sticky-outy piece, and the 2 side pieces. Fold them in this order: 1) 2 flap, 2) side flaps, 3) one flap, tucking it’s tongue into the slot created by the other flaps.
- put the jelly beans inside
- wrapped the DSP around the box and glued the ends together on the bottom
- assembled the bow using glue
- NOTE: you may notice the fold lines in the bow. I didn’t burnish, or curl, the paper with a Bone Folder before assembling the pieces. Oops! Burnish them, the way you’d curl ribbon, and you won’t have that problem.
- glued the bow onto the top of the band of DSP

Jan 11, 2018 | Blog Hop, Boxes, Cards, Decor, Gallery, Gifts, New Products, Occasions, Sale-A-Bration, Tags |
This is my first time participating in the One Stamp at a Time (OSAT) Blog Hop. I’m thrilled to join this talented group of stampers. After you read my post, I hope you’ll click through to the next stop on the hop.
Today we’re highlighting products from the 2018 Occasions and Sale-A-Bration Catalogs. I chose the Tutti-Frutti Suite from the Occasions Catalog (p.28-29) and the coordinating Tutti-Frutti Cards & Envelopes from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog (p.14.) These products are chock full of sweet images, sentiments, and embellishments – even self adhesive sequins! And the colors are what I call Happy Colors. Just look at the the colors in the Tutti-Frutti Designer Series Paper:
Here’s what I made:
Tea light holder:
Tea light holder with a lit tea light inside: (Only use a battery operated tea light – never real flame.)
Tag front:
Tag back:
Inside of the card:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Night of Navy card stock (CS) cut to 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″
- Tutti-Frutti Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 3-3/4″ x 5″
- Night of Navy CS cut to 2-3/4″ x 3-1/8″
- Whisper White CS cut to 2-5/8″ x 3″
- 2 Tutti-Frutti card bases – 3/8″ cut off one end, and scored 3/8″ from the other end
- Whisper White CS cut to 4-1/8″ x 4-1/8″, then scored 1/4″ from each of the four sides
- Tutti-Frutti DSP cut to 2″ x 4″
- Whisper White CS cut to 1-3/4″ x 3-1/8″
Stamped with the Fruit Basket stamp set:
- bowl in Garden Green ink onto a scrap of Lemon Lime Twist CS
- 7 strawberries in Real Red and Lemon Lime Twist inks onto a scrap of Whisper White CS
- card sentiment in Night of Navy ink onto the 2-5/8″ x 3″ Whisper White CS
- tag sentiment in Lemon Lime Twist ink onto the 1-3/4″ x 3-1/8″ Whisper White CS
- a strawberry in Real Red and Lemon Lime Twist inks onto the inside of a third card base
- a strawberry in Real Red and Lemon Lime Twist inks onto the front of the envelope
Cut using the Itty Bitty Fruit Punch Pack:
- 7 strawberries from the Whisper White CS scrap
- 3 strawberries from each side of the 2 trimmed card bases, near the bottom
Cut with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch:
- one end of the 2″ x 4″ DSP, to create the tag
Die cut using the Eastern Medallion Thinlits:
- a medallion from each side of the 2 trimmed card bases
Cut using Paper Snips:
Colored using a Stampin’ Write Marker:
- darkened some of the strawberry tops in Lemon Lime Twist
- added shadows to the bowl in Lemon Lime Twist
Assembled the card:
- 6 strawberries glued onto the back of the bowl
- bowl of strawberries and the one remaining strawberry adhered to the 2-5/8″ x 3″ Whisper White CS with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals
- 2-5/8″ x 3″ Whisper White CS glued onto the 2-3/4″ x 3-1/8″ Night of Navy CS
- 2-3/4″ x 3-1/8″ Night of Navy CS glued onto the 3-3/4″ x 5″ DSP
- 3-3/4″ x 5″ DSP DSP glued onto the 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8 Night of Navy CS
- 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8 Night of Navy CS glued onto the front of the card base (this is the untrimmed card base with a strawberry stamped inside)
Assembled the tealight holder:
- burnished all score lines of the 2 trimmed card bases with a Bone Folder
- adhered the 3/8″ section of each card base to the inside of the other card base, to form the four sides of the holder
- burnished all score lines of the 4-1/8″ x 4-1/8″ Whisper White CS with a Bone Folder
- cut one score line at each corner to create tabs
- glued each tab to the inside of the adjacent side to create a tray for the bottom of the holder
- put the tray inside the holder and glue on all four sides – I found it easiest to drop the tray down into the holder and press it to the bottom, then flip it over and squeeze a little glue between the two pieces.
- applied Tutti-Frutti Washi Tape around the top and bottom of the holder
- NOTE: You can just have the four sides. You don’t have to have the bottom tray, but I think it adds stability and shape to the holder.
Assembled the tag:
- 3/4″ x 3-1/8″ Whisper White CS glued to the blue side of the DSP tag
- 3 self adhesive sequins applied to the tag
- ran 5″ of Lemon Lime Twist 3/8″ Mini Striped Ribbon through the hole
- tied a piece of Whisper White Solid Twine around the ribbon
- attached tag to the tealight holder with a mini white clothes pin from the Sweet Soiree Embellishment Kit

These mini coffee cups, or espresso cups, are great for tiny gifts. They’re easy to decorate and fill. Today I’m sharing two different batches of these that I made. One batch of Christmas themed cups contains Starbucks Holiday Blend coffee k-cups. The other batch of coffee themed cups contain coffee flavored candies.
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Made cup cover and belly band:
- rolled a cup on a large piece of scrap paper, following it with a pencil
- cut out the template with Paper Snips and wrapped it around a cup to make sure it fit
- held the template on the cup with my fingers and drew a belly band onto the template with a pencil
- used that to create a template for the belly band
- covers and cut using Paper Snips from Coffee Break, Be Merry, and Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Papers (DSP)
- belly bands cut using Paper Snips from DSP and from CS in Pool Party, Whisper White, Garden Green, and Cherry Cobbler
Stamped with the Hug in a Mug stamp set:
- sentiment onto Whisper White card stock (CS) in Pear Pizzazz, Early Espresso, Garden Green, and Cherry Cobbler inks
Stamped with the Merry Cafe stamp set:
- sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Whisper White CS
- snowflake in Cherry Cobbler ink above the sentiment
Die cut using the Layering Circles Framelits:
- all sentiments
- larger circles to layer with sentiment, from Pool Party, Early Espresso, Garden Green, and Cherry Cobbler CS
Assembled the cups:
- covers glued onto the cups
- belly bands glued onto the covers
- sentiments layered with coordinating larger circles, then adhered to the cup lids with Stampin’ Dimensionals (The center part of the lid is lower than the rim.)
- adhered a small Rhinestone Basic Jewel to the center of the stamped snowflakes

I guess I’m a little late posting this one, but you can always change the colors and the sentiment for any occasion, or save it for next year. The Christmas Around the World Designer Series Paper has so many different patterns, even some that can be used for non-Christmas projects. I used the design with lots of tiny mints for today’s project. And the sentiment is made using the Brightly Lit Christmas Bundle. Both the paper and the bundle are retiring. They’ll be available only until January 2, or while supplies last.
Christmas Around the World DSP © Stampin’ Up!
Brightly Lit Christmas Bundle © Stampin’ Up!
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Real Red card stock (CS) cut to 11″ x 12
- CS scored along the 11″ side at 1-3/4″, 3-1/2″, 5-1/4″, 7″, 8-3/4″, 10-1/2″
- CS scored along the 12″ side at 2″ and 10″
- Christmas Around the World Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 1-1/2″ x 7-3/4″ (6 pieces)
Cut CS using Paper Snips, according to the diagram:
- removed two smallest rectangles, and angled the leftover tab (in blue)
- cut vertical score lines along the bottom just up to the first horizontal score line
- marked along the top side at 7/8″, 2-5/8″, 4-3/8″, 6-1/8″, 7-7/8″, and 9-5/8″
- cut from marks to the intersections of the vertical score lines and the first horizontal score line – this cuts away the green areas
- used a 1/4″ circle punch to cut a hole in each triangle, about 1/2″ or so from the top – you may want to use a smaller circle punch, like the 1/8″, depending on the size of your ribbon
Stamped with the Brightly Lit Christmas stamp set:
- sentiment in Real Red ink onto a scrap of Whisper White card stock (CS)
Die cut using the Christmas Lamppost Thinlits:
Assembled the bottle cover:
- all score lines burnished with a Bone Folder
- DSP pieces glued onto the panels of the CS cover
- sentiment adhered to one of the DSP pieces with Stampin’ Dimensionals
- skinny tab on one side of the bottle cover adhered to the inside of the other end of the cover with Fast Fuse
- bottle inserted into the cover to make the next step easier:
- folded in one of the bottom tabs, then glued the opposite tab to it, making sure the tabs lined up with each other
- repeated this step for the remaining two pairs of tabs, gluing them all together
- ran a 22″ piece of ribbon through each hole in the top triangles, always front to back, then pulled it tight (not too hard or you’ll tear the paper) and tied a bow
