Every month I team up with a group of fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrators to create fan-tabulous tutorials featuring 3-D projects and fun fold cards. We call these tutorials “better than flat.” And then we offer them for purchase, as a free gift for ordering, or as a perk for being in our group of demonstrators. We feature a new bundle at the start of each month. This is the most recent tutorial bundle that I shared on May 1st.

To give you a taste of what’s inside this month’s bundle, we all decided to share a spin-off project from that tutorial on Facebook Lives at the start of this month. So today’s blog post is about what I shared in my Facebook Live this past Wednesday.

My project is very different from the masculine one in the tutorial, but it has some similar qualities. I made a hanging pillow box using the Kraft Pillow Boxes, the Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Paper, the Blossom Elements, tags from the Sweet Pins & Tags accessories, the Basics Brads, some coordinating ribbon, and the All That You Are stamp set. (See below for a complete list of products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.)

I uploaded the recorded version of this video to my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook). Be sure to watch the video (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog), check out the products list below, scroll through the close-up photos, and then let me know if you have any questions.

I hope you enjoyed this video! Below are measurements for the project I made and more close-up photos of this one and the two others I shared after my demonstration.

Measurements…

• Kraft Pillow Boxes
  • One full one
  • Half of one (without side tab)
• Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Paper
  • a 3” x 4” portion of the floral sheet
• Soft Suede Cardstock
  • Scrap for punching two sets of leaves
• Night of Navy Gingham Ribbon
  • ~12”

I hope you enjoyed my May Day door hanger basket that I had to share today! Don’t want to hang them on door handles? How about on wine bottles!

Remember many of the products I shared are retiring. So know that they will only be available until June 3, 2019 or while supplies last.

ANNUAL CATALOG NEWS
Due to recent supplier issues (and other factors), Stampin’ Up! will no longer be carrying the current die-cutting machine and trimmer: The Big Shot and Stampin’ Trimmer are retiring. These changes are giving Stampin’ Up! the opportunity to research and explore replacement options. But there will be a gap when we do not have a trimmer or die-cutting machine available. You will not see these items in the upcoming 2019-20 Annual Catalog that debuts June 4, 2019. Click here for more information.
