Treat Box

When I was looking at other Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Blogs for a way to use the Sale A Bration Fruit Salad, I saw this adorable box and I CASED it. Credit goes to Kitchen Table Stamper, here is a link to her blog post Fruit Salad Gusseted Treat Pouch for all cutting and assembly instructions.


I did make a simple 3x3 card as an add on and because I love Pineapples!
Have a great day

Simply Fantastic

Plan on seeing more of the Everyday Arches on other cards, the arches come in different sizes and create a nice accent layer for cards. Adding the Beautiful Butterfly die cut butterfly gives the card an airy feel. 

I used the butterfly stamp around the outside of the card base to give a textured appearance.

Cutting

Petunia Pop: 4 1/4 x 11, score at 5 1/2

Basic White: 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 (for arch die cut) and another the same size for the inside of the card

Gorgeous Grape: 3/4 x 2 (die cut large butterfly body)

Bloom Impression (SAB): 4 x 3 1/4 (die cut the butterfly)

Assembly

Complete the die cutting listed above

Fold the card base and stamp the butterfly image around the outside in Petunia Pop Ink. Adhere the Basic White cardstock inside the card.

Stamp the sentiment on the die cut arch using Petunia Pop Ink and adhere to the card front. 

Attach adhesive to the body of the butterfly die cut and place on the card front

Apply Wink of Stella to the die cut body and then attach over the butterfly die cut

Top with Purple Fine Shimmer Gems and you are done!

 Toadstool Garden takes me back to the "Groovy" phase of my growing up, the colors and bold graphic images remind me of the late 60's and early 70's.

This is an easy card to put together, I used the What You In Mind stamp set, the other sentiments in the set are nice and it has solid graphics that coordinate with the set.
