Stampin’ Up! Around The Bend Just For You

February 8, 2023 custom

Today I am sharing an envelope gift box created to put Valentine treats for a few people. It was easy to create after, I had watched 8 different videos on creating to see how it was created. I used Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper, Basic Borders Dies, and Stampin’ Up! Around The Bend stamp set, Stampin’ Up! Something Fancy stamp set, and Stampin’ Up! Ranunculus Romance stamp set.

Start with a 8-1/4″ x 11″ piece of Sweet Sorbet card stock. Score along the 8-1/4″ side at 1/2″, 1-1/2″ turn the piece around and score from the other side the same way. Score along the 11″ side at 2-1/2″ and 3-1/2″ turn the piece around and score from the other side the same way. You can see in the diagram how far to cut the score lines. Cut a little piece out of each flap, and angle it so it will look like a wedge. This is your card base. Using a die from Basic Borders Dies crop the top of the piece as shown in the diagram above.

Cut two pieces of Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper 2-5/8″ x 5-5/8″. Using the same die used to crop the top flap of the box crop one piece of the Designer Series Paper. Adhere this piece to the top of the flap, (see diagram above) Adhere the other piece to the bottom as shown in the diagram using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Fold the flaps in and adhere using the adhesive of your choice. I used Tear & Tape. It looks as if the Designer Series Paper is upside down, but once the envelope box is assembled the hearts will be going in the right direction.

A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Ranunculus Romance stamp set is stamped in Basic Gray ink on a scrap of Blushing Bride card stock. It is trimmed and adhered to a larger strip of Sweet Sorbet card stock then popped on the envelope box front using Glue Dots. A bow is made using a piece of Basic White Organza Ribbon (retired I believe). It is popped over the greeting using a Glue Dot. I fussy cut 4 hearts from Stampin’ Up! Country Flora Lane Designer Series Paper, adhering them together to make the lock for holding the flap of my envelope box. I adhered the heart to the bottom of the envelope box using two Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Cut a piece of Blushing Bride card stock 2-5/8″ x 5-5/8″, crop using the same die from Basic Borders Dies. Stamp in Basic Gray ink a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Around The Bend stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Something Fancy stamp set onto the Blushing Bride piece. Stamp hearts from Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet Stamp Set in Real Red ink. Adhere the piece to the inside flap.

To create the tray for the candy, cut a piece of Blushing Bride card stock 4-1/4″ x 6″ with the 4-1/4″ at the top score down 3/4″ down each side. I wrapped my candy pieces in Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper, cut the strips 1-1/2″ x 3-1/4″ for the wrap. Run two strips of double side tape down the middle of the tray to hold your candy in place. I can see from my diagram, I forgot to do that but will do it before I give it to the recipient.
