Many of you may recall when I shared all the fun 2-Compartment Boxes in my Online Paper Crafting Class on YouTube on January 27th. Well… there was a super small one that intrigued many of you. So I thought I’d show that to you again and share those measurements. I’m not sure how much use this size box will be since it doesn’t have much storage space for a treat or gift. It’s about the size of an ounce of cheese! You could fit about 8 of the small ones into the larger one (the sized I demonstrated in my video) shown below. LOL But still…it’s adorable. And maybe you can make one today and put a few chocolate chips in it to give it as a last minute Valentine’s Day gift.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
3” x 3” scored in one direction at 1/4”, 7/8, 1-5/8″, and 2-1/4″ then scored in the other direction just under 3/4″ on each side
Gold Foil Sheets
Scrap for punching flower
If you didn’t watch the how-to video yet, click here or click on the image below. Then use the measurements above for the tiny box to make the smallest box (the one in Pool Party, a light blue from the Subtles pack). The measurements on my January 27th post for the “small box” using 6″ x 6″ paper are the ones you’ll need for the larger box (the one in Gorgeous Grape, a purple from the Brights pack).

I love the message on this card. It’s a message that is important to give to anyone you care about. This pandemic has sadly amplified depression and a feeling of unimportance in so many people. So this may be the perfect card to give someone to brighten their day.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
Mossy Meadow Cardstock
4-1/4” x 7-1/2” scored parallel to short side at 5-1/2”
Scrap for punching 2-1/4″ Circle
Highland Heather Cardstock
3″ x 3-3/4″
3″ x 3/4″
Basic White Cardstock
4″ x 5-1/4″
Hydrangea Hill Designer Paper (floral pattern)
2-3/4″ x 3-1/2″
Scrap for punching 2″ Circle
Hydrangea Hill Designer Paper (checkered green pattern)
1″ x 4-1/4″
Hydrangea Hill Mercury Glass Acetate
4″ x 4″
Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon
8″
Directions…
Stamp the Basic White inside layer. Fold the Mossy Meadow card base. Attach white layer to the inside. (This will help to guide where the acetate piece goes.)
Keeping the Mossy Meadow base folded, add adhesive along the front bottom edge, align the acetate (purple side down), and attach to the Mossy Meadow. Peel off the protective layer from the silver side of the acetate if you haven’t done so already.
Add the checkered green designer paper strip so it lines up with the bottom of the front of the Mossy Meadow card base and covers the top edge of the acetate.
Layer the 2-3/4″ x 3-1/2″ piece of floral designer paper to the 3″ x 3-3/4″ Highland Heather piece. Then add the Highland Heather sentiment strip, the ribbon tied in a bow and the pearls. Using a few Dimensionals on the top backside (high enough where they will not connect with the acetate, attach this layer to the front of the card.
Add the layered circle pieces to the inside of the card so it’s positioned within the shadow of the Highland Heather layer.
Then flip the card closed again, lift up the front Highland Heather layer, and add a couple Dimensionals where the circle layer sits to connect that lower portion of the front Highland Heather layer.

It’s been a busy but fun past couple weeks here in my world. So I thought I’d share.
On January 23rd, customers and demonstrators enjoyed taking part in the January 2021 Demos Galore event. It was a lot of work to get ready for. But it was so worth it! Many of us did video presentations that focused on different suites and bundles in the Jan-June 2021 Mini Catalog. My presentation was all about the In Bloom Bundle. If you missed out on this event, I’ll be showing my projects here on my blog. In fact I’ve already shared the z-fold layer card and the 2-compartment box.
Then January 27th-31st, I got out of the house for a long weekend away. This was my first get away from my kids and hubby since the pandemic began. I was hesitant about going, but relaxed once I was there. The group was super small (only 10 of us max could attend this year), and half of those that came were health care workers that were already getting vaccinated. We were very careful, washed hands often, and all that. I needed this so much. I even went showshoeing three times!
And today, our youngest, Luke turns 14. He celebrated by having a couple friends over to hang out in our minimally heated garage to play video games and watch movies on the projected screen this past Thursday. The boys DID come in for pizza and donuts (and to warm up a bit). And yesterday we did a couple gatherings on Zoom with family.
Happy birthday to Luke! It wasn’t long ago that I could put on themed parties for him (you can see glimpes of these on my blog: 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012). Sigh…both my boys have grown out of that stage. Why do they have to grow up so fast?

Today I am sharing another project that we made during the December 2020 Silver Elite Retreat: Love You Always Treat Boxes decorated with the Hydrangea Hill products.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements
Hydrangea Hill Designer Paper
4″ x 12″ cut into these two pieces…
4” x 9-1/2”
3-7/8” x 2-1/2”
Basic White Cardstock
Scrap for stamping and punching 1-1/2″ Circle
Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon
17″
Directions
Assemble the treat box and punch one end of the “drawer” with the 1-1/2″ Circle punch. (If it’s too difficult to punch through all the layers at once, mark where you want to punch, then disassemble the drawer. Punch through just the folded flap, assemble the drawer, then line up the punch and punch through the remaining layers.
Add the smaller piece of designer paper to the inside of the drawer with Seal. (For one of my two boxes, I used the flip side of the designer paper for the inside. I love that our paper is double-sided so we have a choice.)
Insert the drawer then wrap the larger piece of designer paper around the box. Do this without any adhesive first just to get the folds in the right spots. Then add Seal adhesive along the long edges and attach to the box being careful to keep everything straight and tight. Use Tear & Tape for the ends.
Wrap and tie on the ribbon. Trim the ends.
Stamp, punch out, and add the sentiment circle piece with Dimensionals.
Embellish the box with a few Pastel Pearls.
I shared two other projects from the retreat on January 9th and January 15th using products from the Sand & Sea Suite. Be sure to click on those links so you can see them.
I hope I inspired your creativity. Thanks for visiting today!

Happy World Card Making Day! Yes, today is the day you have the world’s permission to make time for this fun paper-crafting hobby (in case you needed an excuse to get away to your craft room).
One of my most popular YouTube videos that I shared on September 16th featured how to get five different cards from one accordion folded piece of designer paper. I have that video on my September 16th blog post. I created two different cards with one of the folds. And then four days later on September 20th I shared the completed cards for the remaining four folds. Be sure to click on those links to see all the cards I created. Maybe those cards will inspire you today to pull out that designer paper that has been sitting on your shelves?
I’m sharing five more of the z-fold style cards from that fold but with different products. By the way, these cards all have a slightly smaller sheet of designer paper. I trimmed off 1/4″ from the left end to expose more of both sides of the designer paper on the front section. You can see the difference between the top card (that I shared on the 20th) and the bottom one.
So I’ll start with that one.
You may be wondering were I got that pretty blue designer paper? I added Balmy Blue ink with a sponge brayer and just sponged more ink on the left and less on the right to get that ombré look.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
Peony Garden Designer Paper
5-1/4″ x 12″ scored parallel to the short side at 2″, 5″, and 8″ (then trim off 1/4″ from the left edge)
OR…5-1/4″ x 11-3/4″ scored parallel to the short side at 1-3/4″, 4-3/4″, and 7-3/4″
Basic Gray Cardstock
4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ for die-cutting two rectangles
Whisper White Cardstock
2-3/4″ x 4-1/8″
1-7/16″ x 3-7/16″
Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon
6-1/2″
Directions…
Die-cut the 3″ x 4-3/8″ Stitched Rectangle from the 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ Basic Gray piece. Then die-cut the 1-11/16″ x 3-11/16″ Stitched Rectangle from the center if this.
Stamp the images on the smallest Whisper White piece as shown. (The lighter gray is achieved by stamping off on scrap paper first.)
Brayer the designer paper – darker color on the left and hardly any color on the right to get the ombré look.
Fold designer paper. Attach ribbon and tuck it before adhering the left section down. (Watch the video for other tips on this fold.)
These other four cards are made the same way but show off the beautiful Gilded Autumn Designer Paper which is now on MAJOR backorder. It won’t be available until the end of November. (Sorry if you are one of those who ordered it and are waiting.) But if you DO have it (or can wait), these are some cards that you could recreate.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
Gilded Autumn Designer Paper
5-1/4″ x 12″ scored parallel to the short side at 2″, 5″, and 8″ (then trim off 1/4″ from the left edge)

In one of those months, you would reap the hosting rewards (free merchandise based on the club orders). And then you’d also be able to get in on monthly product perks that would be sent to you along with your monthly club cards.
I recently received this beautiful card from my friend Cheryl Lee. She made it with several products from the Forever Greenery Suite and the “thank you” image from the Magnolia Blooms Stamp Set (a retired stamp set).
I loved the look and the layout so much that I recreated it and made a couple navy and white versions by substituting in a few products from the Boho Indigo Medley. This is the first one. And below the directions is the second one. I’d love to know which one appeals to you more. I made the one with the gray circle first. But after making the second one with the white circle, I think that one is my favorite.
Here are the details if you wish to make one (or both) of these.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
Night of Navy Cardstock
5-1/2″ x 7-1/2″ scored parallel to short end at 4-1/4″
Scraps for die-cutting a couple branch pieces
Misty Moonlight Cardstock
Scrap for die-cutting a branch piece
Boho Indigo Designer Paper
1-1/4″ x 5-1/2″

Outer cardstock layer (Smoky Slate or Whisper White Cardstock)
3″ x 5-1/2″
Circular piece (Smoky Slate or Whisper White Cardstock)
Scrap for die-cutting 2-3/8″ diameter Stitched Shapes circle
Forever Trim (Gold Metallic Trim)
6″
Directions…
Emboss the outer cardstock layer with the Greenery Embossing Folder. Then die-cut the branch pieces with the dies in the Boho Indigo Medley and the stitched circular sentiment piece.
Stamp the sentiment on the circular piece. Then adhere the Gold Hoop with Fine Tip Glue. Set aside to dry.
Stamp the inside image on the 2-3/4″ x 5-1/4″ Whisper White piece. (I first stamped on scrap paper and then onto the cardstock. This way I got a lighter shade of blue.)
Attach the rectangular layers to the Night of Navy card base.
After the Fine Tip Glue is dry, flip the sentiment circle over and add a bit of Seal Adhesive behind that upper left area. Add a leaf piece from the Forever Gold Laser Cut Paper and the two blue die-cut branch pieces. Then place quite a few Dimensionals across the back of the left portion of that circle securing those embellishments and attaching this focal point to the front of the card.
Use Glue Dots to add the horizonal navy branch and the gold bow.
Embellish with Gold Glitter Enamel Dots or the flowers from the medley.
Thanks for visiting! Tomorrow I’ll be sharing lots of other cards I’ve been give recently.
