For those of you who have been with me for awhile (or even just for a few weeks and saw my May 9th post and tutorial video), you know I’m having a hard time saying goodbye to the Pocketful of Sunshine Stamp Set which retires June 3rd. It’s such an adorable stamp set. And when paired with the coordinating Pocket Framelits dies (which are NOT retiring because there will be totally different pocket stamp set in the new catalog), you can make so many fantabulous cards and projects!
Here is the latest thing I made…a jean pocket treat box.
I’ve seen a few others share a similar idea with this stamp set and dies. In fact I was gifted one by my upline, Susan Campfield a couple years back. But I HAD to try making one myself. I used another retiring stamp set, Touches of Texture to get the light blue textured jean material look.
Below are directions, measurements and supplies if you want to give this a go.
Products I used… See below for a list of products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store. (The Bird Ballad Trinkets will not be available until the new catalog debuts on June 4. So the link below will not work until then.)
Measurements…
- Balmy Blue Cardstock
- Two pieces that are 3-1/2” x 4” for stamping and die-cutting the front and back pocket panels
- 1-1/2″ x 7-1/2″ scored at 2-3/4″, 3-3/4″ and 5-1/4″
Directions…
- Stamp the pocket images with Pacific Point ink. Stamp the sentiment in the upper right corner of one of the pockets. Stamp the textures image with Balmy Blue ink multiple times from the top down on the pocket image areas.
- Stamp the textures image with Balmy Blue ink multiple times from the top down on the 1-1/2″ x 7-1/2″ Balmy Blue strip of cardstock.
- Die-cut the pockets.
- Use a wire cutter to remove the loops on two branch Bird Ballad Trinkets.
- Use Fine Tip Glue to adhere the flowers and the branches onto each die-cut pocket. Off to the left on the front pocket (the one with the sentiment) and off to the right on the back pocket. Allow to dry.
- Fold back the four flaps on each of the pockets. Fold along the three score lines on the Balmy Blue strip of cardstock. Use Multipurpose Glue on the flaps to adhere the front and back pockets to the Balmy Blue strip. Allow to dry.
- Fill with shreddies and a gift of your choice. 🙂
Wouldn’t these make great party favors containers for a young girl’s birthday party?! Be sure to get in on the retiring products before they are gone for good! (Only 8 more days to shop.)

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.
