Blended Seasons Pillow Box - Stamped Treasures, Sherry Roth, Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

I ordered a package of the Kraft Pillow Boxes on my last order and I am smitten! These boxes are so cute and simple to use. They are going to be GREAT to use as gift card holders at Christmas! But today I thought I’d share a project we created at my monthly class.

Every month I choose a product or bundle and we create 4 projects using it. This month was the Blended Seasons bundle. I love this class because it allows me to share different uses for a product or suite. Plus attendees leave with 4 different ideas using that grouping of products! If you’d like to participate – our next class will be September 13th at 930am or 7pm. Or if you aren’t local, just let me know you’d like to participate and I’ll send you the class host code and you’ll get a kit free with your $35 order. Note: This is a different host code than the monthly codes posted on my blog.

Every month we make awesome projects that I know you’ll love! Full supply list for this Blended Seasons pillow box is at the bottom of the post.

Instructions:

Assemble pillow
box by pinching the center and folding the ends in along the score lines. No
adhesive needed. Note: the notched side is meant to be on top of the other.
Die cut the
smallest label shape from the Stitched Seasons framelits from the largest piece
of whisper white cardstock.
Stamp leaf
image from the Blended Seasons stamp set using Memento black ink onto the left
side of the label shape.
Stamp the leaf
image again onto a scrap of white. You will only need a couple of the smaller
leaves from this piece.
Color all the
leaves on the label shape using the Stampin’ Blends (and a couple of the
smaller ones on the scrap cardstock). I started with a layer of light daffodil,
added a bit of light pumpkin along the veins of the leaves. Blended with the
dark daffodil and then blended the entire leaf with the light daffodil. If you’d
like a bit more orange, add a bit of the dark pumpkin.
Add the label
shape to the centre of the pillow box using dimensionals.
Stamp greeting
using black ink and trim ends as shown.
Add this to the
pillow box using dimensionals.
Die cut the
leaf/berry framelit from the granny apple green cardstock and tuck it under the
greeting.
Die cut the
leaf framelit from the gold foil and tuck it under the greeting.
Cut out two of
the smaller leaves from the scrap and add them to the pillow box as shown in
the photo.
