Lily Impressions Diagonal-Lidded Box
I was so excited when I saw Julie Dimatteo’s (Paper Pixie’s) Diagonal-Lidded Gift Box, that I had to recreate one. (Thanks Julie! Loved your box!) Click here to see Julie’s video. Her box is a great size for those Ferrero Rocher candies (2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ x 1-3/8″)!
When I finished making her version that she shared in her video, I put my math brain to work to re-adjust the measurements and get the most from single sheets of designer paper and cardstock. (I’ve taught classes for so long that I always try to create with very little waste and with “making multiples” in mind. Plus this became one of my team make-n-takes last month.) With my measurements below you can get 3 sets of lid pieces from one sheet of 12″ x 12″ designer paper and 4 box bases from one sheet of 8-1/2″ x 11″ cardstock. And when this smaller box is assembled it measures 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ x 1″.
I plan to make a video for these this week. Ta-da! Is is not adorable!?
But I needed to show you this one today since it’s made from Sale-a-Bration products which will no longer be available come April 1st. In fact I’m surprised that the Lily Impressions designer paper isn’t already sold out! Yay! So if you want to recreate my box, you’ll want to get your hands on these Sale-a-Bration freebies before they disappear: the Lily Impressions Designer Paper, Lovely Lily Pad Stamp Set, and the Lily Pad Dies.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
- Lily Impressions Designer Paper (be aware of any directional pattern)
- Two pieces that measure 5-3/4″ x 3-3/8″
- score each parallel to the long side at 1″
- score each parallel to the short side 2-3/8″ from each end
- Two pieces that measure 5-3/4″ x 3-3/8″
- Highland Heather Cardstock
- 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″
- score just under 1″ (15/16″) on all four sides
- 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″
These boxes take a bit of time to make, but they would be perfect for those special little gifts: to thank bridesmaids, for Spring or Easter treats, for a birthday, to thank someone special…
Remember…Sale-a-Bration ends March 31st. For more information about current happenings and promotions, scroll down. I try to include the latest news at the bottom of my posts. Thanks for peeking in today.

Seriously the Best Card Kit – Doubled!
Yippee! I’m excited to share eight cards that I made with the supplies of four from the Seriously the Best Card Kit and a little extra cardstock. Yep…I doubled the cards in this kit! So instead of just making a total of 16 cards (4 of 4 kinds), you can now make 32 (4 of 8 kinds) with these designs that I’m sharing with you today.
I actually shared these cards as one of our sets of make-n-takes last month with Cheryl Lee and my mom during our Silver Elite Retreat event. So you will see photos from that event in today’s post. Then I shared how to make these cards during my latest Online Paper Crafting Class on Facebook just a few days ago (assisted by my son, Nick who monitored the comments to make sure we didn’t miss any questions).
I uploaded the recorded version of my Facebook Live video to my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook). And then I was able to share it here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog), scroll through the close-up photos, check out the products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are measurements, more close-up photos, and a product list for the cards I demonstrated. Keep in mind that the Thoughtful Blooms Stamp Set is only available as a free Sale-a-Bration pick now through the end of this month.

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop: No Matter The Weather
#APaperPumpkinThing
Welcome to our monthly “A Paper Pumpkin Thing” blog hop! See what I have to share. Then check out all the other blogs in the hop to see additional creative alternate paper crafting project ideas that we each came up with using the contents of the March 2020 No Matter The Weather Paper Pumpkin kit. To follow the hop and see other creative project ideas, simply scroll down and click on the names of other hop participants. (If you are receiving this blog post by email, click HERE to see the hop.)
Here is a photo of the intended projects from this month’s kit: twelve 3-1/2” x 5” cards and envelopes with perfect messages and images (from TWO stamp sets) for spring and for spreading hope and cheer.
I’ve already shared a few other alternate projects using the contents of this kit on March 21st.
- Triple the cards in the kit (You can make 36 full size cards!)
- A gift-your-neighbor box
- A couple “matchbook” day brighteners
CLICK HERE to check them out for more ideas.
Today I have another set of cards to share. I didn’t triple the cards in the kit like I did last week, but I DID expand it by over double (converted 3 cards to 7!) by just adding in one pack of Scalloped Note Cards & Envelopes. Yay!
These cards are not difficult at all. All I did was disperse the pieces and images differently. The colors of these Scalloped Note Cards work great with the colors in the kit pieces, too! So this just offers one other way to increase the cards in your kit in a “note card size.”
Products I used for these projects… See below for a complete list of extra products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Here are individual, close-up photos of each card. Again… the cards are simple. But I often like to see what I can do with very little extra supplies. Not every subscriber is an avid crafter. Some are just beginners. Paper Pumpkin kits are made to make beginners feel comfortable with creating. And as you can see even beginners can change it up/alter the projects without having to own a lot of extra items.
Did you notice where I used the circular water embellishments?…In the centers of the 3 flowers on the green card and around the sentiment on the boots card.
I added the raindrop water embellishments within the circular sentiment piece of the cloud card and inside the hearts as shine accents on the girl’s umbrella.
Then I added even more coming off the umbrella and between the hearts in the scalloped border of the bunny card.
I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today!
