Hey friends! Its Katie to welcome you to another Tuesday Tutorial. If you remember, last week I suggested an idea suitable for a teacher(s) in your life and this week I'd like to suggest an idea for the Mothers in your life. I kind of think of this project as a great all around gift... as in its a great little treat to make for your own Mom or to make a little "your special" on Mother's Day because you are a Mom.
Plus, if you aren't into baking or decorating, go buy this little treat... remember its the thought that counts.
But remember, its about that cute little box that goes with that yummy treat that counts too!
This is your simple basic box again...
Box measures 9" x 9". Score all sides at 3"
I then took the stamp called Blossoms and Swirls and stamped the entire piece.
Then cut and adhere your sides together.
Now, its time to make the insert to hold your cupcake.
Get a piece of cardstock that measures 5" x 5".... Score all sides at 1"
I used the 4th largest circle from the large circle nestability set to create my opening. It measures just shy of 2 3/8".
Cut flaps and fold in.
Place insert into box... its a very tight fit and the "legs" will buckle a bit, but you don't see that part anyway so don't worry. Just tap gently until its at the bottom.
Next is the lid. This piece of cardstock measures 4 1/4" x 4 1/4". Score all sides at 1/2". Use the same circle nestability to cut the circle and place a piece of acrylic on the underside of the lid. Fold together just like the insert.
I like using my Scor-tape for these sections. This stuff is so easy to use and you can just rip with your fingers.
I then cut 4 strips measuring 3" x 1/2"... these are just pieces for the bottom of the box.
Now just place your yummy cupcake in the box.
Place your lid and tie up with some pretty ribbon. I used some from the new Clearly Coordinating Collection.
Then I decided I needed a cute tag to along with this little box. I used the daisy stamp set from Everyday Jar-gon so it would match my daisy cupcake.
I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink and Copics (Y17, YR31,G05, YG06, C-1) to color in my image. I then used a scallop heart nestability to cut my image out.
Then just attach to box.
One more view.
So that's it for me folks. I know many a mother out there that would love a yummy treat! But the great thing is that you can give this to anyone for any occasion - the best kind of gift.
Thanks for visiting us here and definitely come back tomorrow for SNEAK PEEKS... wahoo!
Hey friends! Its Katie here inviting you to come and play along with our 12th challenge of the year. This week's challenge for you will have you in knots... but in a good way.
If you hadn't heard the news yet, Lori just introduced a new line of cardstock, ribbon, and either Tombow Markers or Copic Markers to match. This great line is called Clearly Coordinating Collection and all the work has been done for you so everything will coordinate perfectly.
With Ribbon being one of the main components of our new Clearly Coordinating Collection, I thought this is a perfect time to focus on RIBBON.
So you challenge this week is to get all tied up with ribbon... you need to use it somewhere on your card... use it as a compliment to your project or use it as your focus... we just want to see how you "get tied up"

Hey friends, its Katie here to welcome you to another wonderful Tuesday. If you didn't know, Teacher Appreciation time is coming up very, very soon. Today, I've got a great little project that is perfect for the teachers in your life or your children's lives but at the same time can be given to anyone for any reason. It is so easy to adapt all year long.
If you haven't seen these tins and thus gotten a stash for yourself yet, you really must rush over and stock up. They are perfect for any occasion and can house just about anything you'd like.
For today's focus, I'm sharing a little gift that I created for that special teacher. I thought I would share several stamp sets that would work for this project or any other you had in mind. The reason I chose these sets is because they are so easy to cater to your gift giving needs.
Now for the project... of course you will need to start out with this fabulous tin. I opted to make a couple of dividers, but depending on your gifts inside you may or may not need the dividers and of course they are customizable to what you will put inside your tin.
I'll show you how I created my measurements. I started off with a piece of Lime Juice Cardstock (Clearly Coordinating Collection) measuring 6 3/4" x 4 1/4"
I scored 1" in because I knew that what I was placing inside was about 1" wide (you'll see soon)
This part of the measuring won't change for these tins. Your dividers will be 3/4" tall. This is how I created the divider height with my Scor-pal.
Once I made my score mark at 1" I scooted my cardstock over so that the 1" mark was lined up with the 3 1/2" mark on the scor-pal. I then scored at the 4 1/4" mark to create a distance of 3/4".
Then scoot your piece of cardstock over so that the score mark you just made at the 4 1/4" mark is lined up with the 3 1/2" mark and score again at the 4 1/4" mark.
Then fold on your score marks. You have created a mountain fold and you will apply adhesive in the "house" part.
Finish this off by using a corner rounder for all 4 corners. It just makes the cardstock lay better in the tin.
Here is the next divider I created. This piece measures 5" x 2"
Score at 2 1/2" and create your divider the exact same way you just did for the previous piece.
The fit doesn't have to be perfect and I like the fact that you can adjust your spaces, so don't glue down.
And now the fun part... filling your tin. I decided to put in a bit of a hodge podge of items and of course you would put in whatever you wanted or what the recipient would want.
I put in assorted band-aide sizes, paper clips, binder clips, and the "life savers".
Then its just a matter of tying it up. You could add cardstock to the outside, but I opted to keep this simple but fun. I used the Turquoise Gem ribbon paired with the Lime Juice Ribbon for some bright fun.
I also used the "life saver" stamp image from Sweet Accents since I had decided to put some candy in there.
I added a button and tied the whole thing with a bit of twine.
I love how the bright ribbon added so much to this cute little tin.
So there you have it folks. Get ready to show your appreciation to the teachers in your lives or to anyone that is special to you. This is a great economical and fun way to do it.
Thanks for coming by and visiting us here at Clearly iStamp. I hope you have a wonderful Tuesday!

Hi friends, its Katie here to welcome you to another terrific Tuesday! Today, I've got something that I really feel is timeless. I know that many, most, all of you out there in crafty land love to make 3x3 notecards. I am definitely one of you too. They are so fun, quick and easy. They make great little gifts as well as just being handy to have on hand for yourself to give as quick notes or pick me ups.
So, that is what I bring to you today, but I've made sure to pair our little 3x3's with a fabulous stamp set. This set just released this month and it is SERIOUSLY a must have. The images are so cute and the sentiments fill just about any occasion or sentiment you could possibly want... Heartfelt Sentiments!
The measurements below are correct... let's just keep it at that (long story short)
So lets start with your basic box... easy peasy. Measurements are 8 1/2" x 6 1/2"
Along the 8 1/2" side score at 3 1/2" and 5"
Along the 6 1/2" side score the right and left side at 1 1/2"
Next, fold and cut, and glue.
I then decided to grab some of the new Clearly Coordinating Collection cardstock (Lime Juice and Sweet Pea) to decorate my box front and my 3x3 notecards. Decorate the front of the box before gluing it together.
I used a Sizzix embossing folder for this one and I want you to take a look at how beautifully the Clearly Coordinating Cardstock embosses.
Next, I took images from Heartfelt Sentiments and used the same Nestability die (labels 6) to die cut my images and sentiments. I then used pop dots to lift them off the mini cards for a quick and easy look.
And here they are in my lovely, yet simple box. I attached the coordinating Sweet Pea ribbon to the top edge of my box to finish off the look.
Well there you go, something sweet and simple. Thank you as always for coming and joining us at Clearly iStamp. I hope you have a wonderful Tuesday!
Don't forget, we've got a color challenge going on right now. If you don't have Clear Dollar Cardstock colors don't let that stop you. Just work with what you have. Keep scrolling for all the details!
