Hand Sanitizer Shadow Box

Posted on September 17, 2020 by Chris Slogar

I made this fun little gift last night on Facebook Live. It contains a hand sanitizer. I used one of the plaids from our fabulous Plaid Tidings collection as my color inspiration. The pumpkin is made with “Harvest Hellos” and the Apple Builder Punch, and the greeting is from “Banner Year”.

You can see the depth in this picture – the Cinnamon Cider portion is the end of a shadow box that holds the hand sanitizer, and it is wrapped in a Melon Mambo cover.

I also showed this version. The shadow box is the same, but it is wrapped in a 3 7/8″ x 7 1/2″ sleeve of designer paper from the Magic in the Night collection.

Slimline Cards

Posted on September 15, 2020 by Chris Slogar

At our team meeting this week, we shared slimline cards. Slimline cards are a great change of pace since they offer such different layout options. I made this one with the stamps from “Little Treats” and “A Merry Hello”. The dimensions are as follows:

Misty Moonlight – 7″ square, scored in half at 3 1/2″
Whisper White 2 7/8″ x 7″
Trimming the Town designer paper 2 3/4″ x 7″

I also made these fun cards with “Cute Fruit” and stamps from the May 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit. The Pineapple card uses Pineapple Punch cardstock which is still available on the Clearance Rack for only $3.50!

Each of these bases is also a 7″ square. The folded cards fit into a Monarch envelope, which measures 3 7/8″ x 7 1/2″.

Thank you for checking out my cards today! I need your help to continue to bring you new ideas – if you need any supplies, please shop in my online store or use the carousel below to be directed to a specific product used today.

Love of Leaves and Harvest Hellos

Posted on September 10, 2020 by Chris Slogar

…and Daisy Lane! Three great fall elements come together here with one of the prints from the Plaid Tidings collection. I remade the card in more muted colors (below) to coordinate with a print from the Gilded Autumn collection. Do you have a preference?

Treat Caddy from Little Treat Box

Posted on September 9, 2020 by Chris Slogar

Facebook Live came early this week – if you missed this change, you can still watch the replay in the Buckeye Inklings Stampers Group. My focus this week is the Little Treats Bundle. This bundle creates a sweet little favor with a narrow width that can be extended as shown below.

The standard treat box, shown in red on the left, is 3/4″ wide. The 3/4″ width is increased to 2 1/4″ in the extended versions. The black one shown above is decorated for Halloween (see below), and I also made a fall and Christmas version.

Each is cut from a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ piece of cardstock. The video below shows how these were cut with the die, and it also gives more detail on the handles. The designer papers measure 1 1/2″ x 9″.

I used the same method to create an even longer (3 1/2″) caddy. The Misty Moonlight version shown here is cut from a 5 1/2″ x 9 3/4″ piece of cardstock. The designer paper wrap measures 1 1/2″ x 12″.

Check out the video below for complete instructions, or click here for the Facebook Live video. Please join the Buckeye Inklings Stampers Group on Facebook to get notified of my live tutorials.

Ornamental Envelopes

Posted on September 3, 2020 by Chris Slogar

I apologize for the technical issues on this week’s Facebook Live. I couldn’t get a continuous transmission last night, and as it turned out, I couldn’t get one today either. When I finally go through my projects, they were presented in two segments:)

My projects use the Ornamental Envelopes bundle with a few other stamps that suited these projects.

First, I used the bundle as intended to create an “over-the-top” envelope. It is stamped, die cut and lined! The reverse side of this envelope is shown below. The designer paper is from the “Tis the Season collection.

I also used the scalloped-edge dies on several favors, starting with this one that holds a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte. The greeting is from “Warm Hugs” and the paper is from the Gilded Autumn collection.

The designer paper measures 7″H x 6″W, scored at 1 1/2″ and 4 1/4″ along the width. The height is 7″, with a score 1/2″ from the bottom edge.

These favors are similar, but I added a gusset to the sides to allow for thicker contents. The green one holds a Ghirardelli Brownie Mug Cake, and the red one holds a hot cocoa packet.

Dimensions are as follows:

Brownie Mix – the designer paper measures 6″H x 10″W, scored at 2 3/4″ and 7 1/2″ along the width. The height is 6″, with a score 1/2″ from the bottom edge. The gusset scores are 3/8″ from each edge.

Hot Cocoa – the designer paper measures 5″H x 9″W, scored at 2 1/2″ and 6 3/4″ along the width. The height is 5″, with a score 1/2″ from the bottom edge. The gusset scores are 1/4″ from each edge.

Finally, I showed these very simple favors, each made from a Medium Envelope. The stamps are from “Tag Buffet”.

Thanks for checking out my projects. This post is meant as a supplement to this week’s Facebook Live. Due to technical issues, the video is in two pieces here and here. Please join the Buckeye Inklings Stampers Group on facebook to get notifications of all of my live videos.

Holiday Stamp Case Gift Sets

Posted on August 31, 2020 by Chris Slogar

I am offering a Class To Go to create a beautiful holiday gift. It is a Stamp Case Gift Set, very similar to the ones we made in the spring, but made with Snowflake Splendor or Heartwarming Hugs designer papers.

Snowflake Splendor Stamp Case Gift Set (snowflake pattern/color on case may vary)

The finished project includes a tray with six greeting cards and envelopes, a trio of Hershey Nuggets, and a coordinating pen. I have used the Snowflake Wishes bundle for my greetings, but you can use any greetings on the cards.

The kit includes everything you will need to create the finished project shown except stamps, ink and adhesive. Please note that you do need to provide the greetings to complete the cards. All of the snowflake die cuts will be included with your kit.

Heartwarming Hugs Stamp Case Gift Set (specify red or green background print for case, or I will choose)

The Heartwarming Hugs version of this gift set is slightly different because the cards rely on stamped images from “Press On”.

Each of the three card desings in my sample does use a stamped image from “Press On”. I am not allowed to provide those stamped images, but I am offering the stamp set for purchase at a discount below. You can also substitute the stamped images and greetings of your choice. I am showing the cards here so that you can plan accordingly.

Snowflake Splendor or Heartwarming Hugs Kit ~ $35 + $8 Shipping (if needed)

Includes:

Stamp case, hardware, papers and trims for case
Cardstock to make inner tray
Cardstock, paper and trims to make 6 cards
Six Envelopes
Hershey Nuggets and wrappings
Pen
Illustrated Instructions

You will need:

Stamps and ink for greetings (Snowflake Splendor version) – I used Night of Navy, Misty Moonlight and Balmy Blue
Stamps and ink for greetings and images (Heartwarming Hugs version) – I used Real Red, Mossy Meadow, and Memento Black; and Mossy Meadow and Real Red Stampin’ Blends
Adhesives

Optional Additional Purchases (prices here reflect a savings of the $6.95 shipping and additional sales tax on the Stampin’ Up! portion of the order):

Snowflake Wishes Bundle ~ $55.75
Press On ~ $22
Mossy Meadow Blends ~ $9
Real Red Blends ~ $9

Email me at buckeyeinklingsorders@gmail.com to order. Please let me know which kit you would like, and if you have a color preference on the Heartwarming Hugs version (green or red case). Also, please let me know at that time if you would like any of the optional purchases.

I will take orders until September 10, or until I reach my maximum. I will send invoices on or before September 10, and these kits will ship to you on or before September 24.
