Yummy in My Tummy

Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for February 2017. We are thankful you stopped by to take a look at our 2017 Blog Hop monthly themes. This month we are CASE’ing a project shown in a current Stampin’ Up! catalog. After all, with the Annual, Occasions and Sale-a-Bration catalogs available right now, there is much inspiration from which to choose. We hope you enjoy our creations.

You may just be starting the Blog Hop or may have come from the previous link from the Line-up on the Pals Blog Hop listing shown below. The full lineup will help you move along from blog to blog so you may see all the projects.

My kids are ages 16-26, no one is married and I have no grand kids. In spite of that, these adorable monsters jumped off the page and begged me to buy them. I resisted and borrowed the set from a friend. I had so much fun casing the catalog on page 16 of the 2017 Occasions Stampin’ Up! catalog, I ended up ordering them! I think you should order them too! 🙂

Above is the picture from the catalog.

This project uses Tasty Treats Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP). The monster is colored with Pool Party ink and a blender pen. The paws, horns and hat are Pear Pizzazz. His teeth, star on the hat and M&M’s are Crushed Curry. In the catalog the entire bag was made with the DSP. Because I’m thrifty, my bag has DSP only on the front and uses a white lunch sack that I cut down to size. The back of my bag is covered with Pool Party cardstock. I can make two bags from each sheet of DSP. In the catalog I believe they used a window sheet and White Craft Stampin’ Ink. I didn’t have the White ink, so I decided my monster would have a retired treat cup for his tummy. I had so much fun figuring out how to make this adorable Monster Bag. I’ll write a tutorial if you’re interested in specific directions.

On the Hugs tag I used different ribbon, but otherwise it’s pretty much the same as the catalog sample. The cardstock is Pink Pirouette and the ink is Melon Mambo. The Scalloped Tag Topper punch used on this tag is a must have punch! The only punches I use more are Circle punches.

Directions for Mini Ghirardelli Box

I was so happy many of you wanted directions to make the Mini Ghirardelli Box.

Mini Ghirardelli Box Instructions

Step 1

To make the Mini Ghirardelli Box, you need one 5-1/2” x 7-½” cardstock or DSP. Score on the longer side at 1”, 2-½”, 4-¼” and 5-¾”. Score the DSP on the shorter side at 1-½” and 4”.

Step 2

The 1” end middle piece at the top is the flap of the box. Use Paper Snips and cut down two score lines (1-½’ and 4” score lines) and cut away two squares on each side. Use the Project Life Corner Punch on both sides of the flap. Cut on the 4-¼” and 5-¾” score lines toward the center of the paper up to the next score line. Add Tear & Tape Adhesive on both flaps on both sides. Note: I used red sticky strip so it would show up better in the photo.

Step 3

Take the middle flap and adhere it to the back of the flap that doesn’t have adhesive. Take the front flap and adhere it to the outside of the box. Do the same thing on the other side.

Step 4

Wrap five Mini Ghirardelli candies with a 1” x 3” strip of DSP. Punch out hearts and add to candy with a Stampin’ Dimensional. Add five decorated candies to the Mini Ghirardelli Box.

The “Love” is from the January 2017 Paper Pumpkin stamp set. I fussy cut out the heart and adhered it to the box with a Stampin’ Dimensional.

These boxes are quick and easy to make! I’d love to receive pictures of the boxes you make to share on my blog.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

The black with white polka dots and color scheme for this box was decided by my design assistant, aka, sweet daughter Abby. I neglected to give her credit when I first posted this box a couple days ago and she did take note of that. Next fall when Abby’s away at college and my projects aren’t cute anymore, you’ll realize how much she actually helps me. Thanks so much Abby! 🙂

Valentine Mini Ghirardelli Box

Time to make a sweet Valentine for Superman! The Global Design Project Challenge for this week is to make a 3-D project. Well, as you may know, I love making 3-D Projects. Superman loves Ghirardelli dark chocolate, so I thought I’d combine the two and make his Valentine.
