I taught a class yesterday showing my stampers how to make these cute little boxes. I had “requests” to do certain colors for them, so all the papers you see used here ARE retired, but hey….they wanted these colors and they turned out so cute!! I haven’t received my new papers yet…… they came, they were damaged, they’re being replaced (Stampin’ UP! is SO WONDERFUL about replacing damaged merchandise) that I had to use some retired papers. Besides…what’s retired here, may NOT be retired in UK, AUS, or other parts of the world where you can buy SU products. So hopefully you’ll get some good ideas. I found the tutorial online, but when making it from the instructions provided, they were incomplete, so I modified the instructions so they’re complete and easier to follow. I hope you enjoy my GAME NIGHT box I made. My neighbor suggested we make some more with the Jackpot paper, and coordinating Game Night stamp set to make some more boxes, then get some decks of cards and put into them (they hold 2 full decks of cards) and send them to our TROOPS. So I will use up my Jack Pot paper making these little boxes for our Troops overseas. You could use any paper or decorations you like to make these boxes.
Here’s the Game Night box:
Jackpot w/Game Night stamps
Box in Lilac and Lavender:
Box in BERMUDA BAY!
Here are a few of the cards the ladies made to go into the boxes:
Lavender and Banana
Lavender and white w/embossing
Bermuda Bay: new JUST BELIEVE ss
Bermuda Bay w/scrunchy flower
On this last one I talked Christen into making one of the scrunchy flowers for her card. It ended up being one of her most favorite cards! Very simple.. but very pretty!
They all did very well!! This was a “creativity class” where they had to make up their own card designs and figure out how they wanted to decorate the fronts of the boxes. I did pull down some other samples of cards from other box sets to give them some ideas..but over all, I think they all did a FANTASTIC JOB!! Good job Ladies!!
