4th of July Patriotic Party Favor Box + Tutorial

Today's project is perfect for celebrating Independence Day with family and friends! This patriotic stars and stripes box uses just a half sheet of cardstock. I original created this version for the April On Stage Display Boards, but I've also made this box for many other occasions. See them here.

 

Here's how to make the Half Sheet Treat Box:

1. Start with a piece of cardstock that measures 8-1/2" x 5-1/2". 
2. Score at 1-1/2", 4", 5-1/2", and 8". 
3. Turn 90 degrees and score at 1-1/2". 
4. Cut on the score lines up to the 1-1/2" score line. Completely remove the tab at the end.
5. Fold on all the score lines. Use Tear & Tape or Fast Fuse to adhere the box together.

 

If you are more of a visual learner, here is the video that I created for this box a couple years ago. (It does use some retired product including the Silver Ink Pad, Rotary Attachment for the Stampin' Trimmer, and Stick Strip. Those items are no longer available in my Online Store.)

Stampin' Up! Wherever You Go Masculine Card

Here is the second of the three cards in my Wherever You Go card kit for June Stamp of the Month Club. I like how the Best Badge Punch has the shape of a road sign, so I incorporated it into all of the cards. For this one, I punched a piece of Watercolor Paper and then watercolored a bit with Peekaboo Peach. Let it dry completely before you stamp the sentiment.

Vote for Your Favorite: Wherever You Go Card Variations

What do you think of the new catalog? I love the variety of new stamp sets. In particular, the "Wherever You Go" stamp set really caught my eye because it is so much different than all of the other stamps I own. I decided to feature this stamp set for June Stamp of the Month Club. I was inspired by the catalog sample when I chose the colors for this month's card designs: Basic Black and the new In Colors Emerald Envy and Peekaboo Peach.

After I finished up the cards this week, I kept tweaking and playing with them and made a few changes and now I can't decide which version I like better. Here are two versions of the first card it this month's kit. Leave me a comment and tell me which one you like better!
