Stampin' Up! Darling Label Punch Box and coordinating Treat TIme creates fun treat boxes

Stampin' Up! Darling Label Punch Box


I had some time to play with new products from the June 1 annual catalog, and I pulled out one of the fun item, The Darling Label Punch Box.  The Label Punch in this tin not only works with the stamp set that's part of the Punch Box, but also works with the Stampin' Up! Treat Time stamp set. The Treat Time stamp set also works with the coordinating Petite Treat Framelits Die, extending the usefulness of all these tools.  I was inspired by a project on the ChicnScratch.com site today, and decide to make these cute boxes using the Darling Label Punch and the coordinating stamp sets.     
     



Just a little more about this punch kit:  The tin includes not only the punch and a stamp set, but this is the perfect starter kit for a new stamper, as it includes two stampin' ink spots, and a clear stamping block. Just add cardstock.  To extend the usefulness of this set, I also purchased the Treat Time stamp set that includes another 7 sentiment stamps and  4 additional images that work with the Darling Label Punch. The Darling Label Punch can only be purchased as part of the kit.  


The Darling Label Punch Box Tin includes the punch,
Stamp set, two ink spots and a clear stamp


I used the kit and coordinating stamp set to create these cute treat boxes.  I used two of the new colors, Coastal Cabana, and Gorgeous Grape.  The new catalog includes coordinating papers, ribbons and Stampin' Markers in these new colors.  


        

The treat box I made today, is two pieces that are assembled using Tear & Tape.  

Cutting dimensions:  
Long piece:  8-1/2" X 3-1/4".  
Shorter piece:  4-7/8" X 4-78"

Scoring:  
Long 8-1/2" piece:  On long side score at 1/2", 3-1/2", 4-1/2", 7-1/2", using the Simple Scored Scoring Tool
Shorter piece:  Score at 15/16" on all four sides, using the scoring blade on your trimmers

In the photo below, you can see the positioning of the Tear & Tape on the shorter pieces after scoring and creasing both pieces with a bone folder.




The photo below show how the box is placed on the wrap-around 8-1/2" piece.  Pinch in the corners of the box and use more Tear & Tape to hold the corners to the box.  To hold the box closed, punch a 1/2" circle and attach it to the font of the box with the one of the new silver brads from the Metallic Brads collection.  Use a Paper Piercer to create a hole through the 1/2" circle and the front of the box through the box layers to insert the silver brad.  




Decorate the top of the box with patterns from the 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper.  Both Coastal Cabana and Gorgeous Grape are included in the Brights 6' X 6" Designer Series Paper stack, along with the additional 8 Brights colors.  
        

  




The coordinating ribbons are the 1/4" mini Striped Ribbons in Bermuda Bay and Gorgeous Grape, from the new catalog.

Stampin' Up! Accent Blooms works with the Tailored Tags Punch

  • Stampin' Up! Accented Blooms and coordinating punch
  • Stampin'  Up! Gorgeous Grape and Heather Highland
  • Join us for the Card Class, June 10, 2018

Stampin' Up! Accented Blooms


I'm still reeling from yesterday's new stamp set.  I'm so in love with Serene Garden.  So today, I decided to do a really simple card with another new stamp set and new colors.  Today's card uses Stampin' Up! Accented Blooms and two new colors, Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather.  This is such a simple set to use.   I grabbed my Stamparatus and a couple of pieces of Thick Whisper White.  On the large piece, I stamped the lager image.  On the smaller piece, I stamped the sentiment.  Assemble, color, add a ribbon, done!   
     



The basecard is the new Highland Heather.  I dry embossed on just a section of the bottom of the basecard with the Scattered Sequins Embossing Folder  Then a layer of Thick Whisper White.  I stamped the image and sentiment in Gorgeous Grape.  These are such nice rich colors.  Our new ink pads with the defoamer in the ink ensures that images with lots of ink turn out fully colored.         

After stamping the flower image, I squeezed my closed Gorgeous Grape ink pad to get a little color in the cover.  Then I used an Aqua Painter to add just a touch of color to the stamped flowers.  I added Dimensionals to the punched sentiment and added it to the image.  This stamp set also includes another sentiment as well.  Then I used some of the new Whisper White 5/8" Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon to add a bow to the bottom of the image block.

        

  

This card also used Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather inks and paper

  


Recipe:

Stamp:  Accented Blooms
Ink:  Gorgeous Grape
Paper:  Highland Heather, Thick Whisper White
Accessories:  Tailored Tag, Aqua Painter, 5/8" Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon, Paper Snips, Bone Folder, Stampin' Trimmer, Multipurpose Glue, Dimensionals
