Square Bottomed, Pinched Top Bag for the Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop

Posted on June 24, 2019June 23, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Welcome to this month’s Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop where our theme is ‘3D items’. If you have hopped over from the lovely Sharleen Luciano I am sure you loved her project.

I have made many of these square bottomed, pinch topped bags over the years. They are so versatile and can be sized up or down very easily. They can also be made with designer series paper as an alternative.

To recreate the Square Bottomed, Pinch Topped Bag you will need;

Whisper White 2¾” by 2¾” inches scored at ⅜” on all 4 sides
Whisper White 8¼” by 4½”
Scrap Whisper White for the tag

Stamper's Showcase Blog Hop featuring a square bottomed, pinched top bag

www.crafty-rootes.com – A sweet square bottomed, pinched top bag using the Grandma’s House stamp set for the Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop

Ifter scoring the square piece of Whisper White cardstock I cut up the 4 corner squares to form tabs and adhered the tabs with Tear and Tape to form the base of the bag. Normally I would adhere the tabs to the outside of the base as they are then hidden when you wrap the side panel around the base but this time I forgot………… !

www.crafty-rootes.com – A sweet square bottomed, pinched top bag using the Grandma’s House stamp set for the Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop

I stamped the sweet flowers form the Grandma’s House stamp set in a row all across the bottom of the large panel of Whisper White using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A sweet square bottomed, pinched top bag using the Grandma’s House stamp set for the Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop

I coloured in the flowers using the following Blends Markers – Lovely Lipstick combo, Granny Apple Green combo, Call Me Clover combo, So Saffron combo & Soft Flirty Flamingo combo

I added Tear and Tape to the back of the stamped layer, along the bottom and down one side. I removed the protective cover from the bottom piece of tape and starting from the middle of one side slowly wrapped the panel around the base.

The protective cover was then removed from Tear and Tape up the side and the 2 edges pressed together. They bow out slightly which is normal.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A sweet square bottomed, pinched top bag using the Grandma’s House stamp set for the Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop

Pinching the top together in the centre I punched 2 holes using my ⅛” hand held circle punch, sadly retired. I fed through some Lovely Lipstick ⅛” Grosgrain Ribbon and tied a bow.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A sweet square bottomed, pinched top bag using the Grandma’s House stamp set for the Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop

For the tag I masked off 2 of the flowers with a postit note and stamped the remaining flower in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured in the flower with the same Blends Markers and added the sentiment from the Above the Clouds stamp set in the same ink. This was then punched out with the Pretty Label Punch.

The tag was added to the bag with some White Baker’s Twine. Such a pretty little gift bag. I hope you like it.

A Pop-Up Ferrero Rocher box made using the Santa's Workshop dsp by Stampin' Up!

Pop-Up Ferrero Rocher Treat Box for the Just Add Ink #439 challenge

Posted on December 25, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing the little treat boxes I made to decorate our Christmas table. I saw a video recently by the Paper Pixie where she made this box, click on the link to watch her video. I have changed the cardstock, dsp and decoration.

To make the box you need;

Cardstock – 6⅝” by 4⅝” – I used either Poppy Parade and Garden Green

Designer Series Paper (DSP) – 6⅜” by 2⅜ – I used Santa’s Workshop

Making the box base

I used my Paper Trimmer to score the cardstock as some of the measurements were in sixteenths of an inch. Taking a piece of cardstock I scored on the long side at 1⁹/₁₆”, 3⅛”, 4 ¹¹/₁₆” and 6¼” and on the short side at 1 ⁹/₁₆” and 3¼”.

ww.crafty-rootes.com – Pop-Up box made using the Santa’s Workshop dsp

Taking a sharp pair of scissors I trimmed away both of the small rectangles and cut up either side of all the score lines and removed each ridge as shown in the photograph.

ww.crafty-rootes.com – Pop-Up box made using the Santa’s Workshop dsp

I folded and burnished all the score lines using my Bone Folder and applied Tear and Tape to the small side tab and to the 4 smaller panels, removed the backing from the Tear and Tape and folded the panels in to re-enforce the box sides.

ww.crafty-rootes.com – Pop-Up box made using the Santa’s Workshop dsp

I removed the backing from the Tear and Tape on the side tab and closed the box. I folded in both side panels forming the bottom of the box, then the back panel, added some Tear and Tape to the front panel and stuck it down.

ww.crafty-rootes.com – Pop-Up box made using the Santa’s Workshop dsp

Making the box top

Next I took the piece of Designer Series Paper (dsp) and sored it on the long side at 1 ½”, 3”, 4 ½” and 6”. I then added a small notch at ¾”, 2 ¼”, 3 ¾” and 5 ¼”. The dsp was then rotated clockwise and I scored on the short side at 1⁹/₁₆”.

ww.crafty-rootes.com – Pop-Up box made using the Santa’s Workshop dsp

I folded and burnished the score lines using my fingers, trimmed a small wedge from the top and bottom of the smallest panel. Using my Take Your Pick Tool with the stylus end and a steel ruler I scored a triangle from the corner of each panel to the notch then from the notch to the next corner as shown in the photograph.

ww.crafty-rootes.com – Pop-Up box made using the Santa’s Workshop dsp

Using my fingers I carefully folded on all the diagonal lines as shown.

ww.crafty-rootes.com – Pop-Up box made using the Santa’s Workshop dsp

Tear and Tape was then added to the side tab and the sides of the box brought together. The dsp piece was then slide down inside the box, a treat was added before pressing on all 4 corners of the dsp piece to close the box.

ww.crafty-rootes.com – Pop-Up box made using the Santa’s Workshop dsp

I wrapped a piece of Poppy Parade Striped Ribbon around the box securing it with a small piece of Tear and Tape and added a bow in the same ribbon.

This weeks’ Global Design Challenge #167 is entitled ‘tis the season’ – whoo hoo basically we can share anything Christmas themed so here goes

Secret Santa Box

I have decided to share a box I designed to hold a sweet secret Santa gift which I will be taking to our team Christmas meal later this month.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Signs of Santa for a special secret Santa Box

I started with a piece of Coastal Cabana measuring 7½” by 7½” which I scored at 3” and 4½” using my Simply Scored Scoring Tool. I rotate the cardstock one turn and scored at 3” and 4½”. I then took a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock measuring 4⅝” by 4⅝” and scored this at ½” and 1½” on all 4 sides. I trimmed both panels as shown in the photographs.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Signs of Santa for a special secret Santa Box

I ran the embossing buddy over both layers and stamped the sweet little snowflake stamps in Versamark ink on both panels, covered them with Silver Embossing Powder and heat set using my Heat Tool. I put both parts of the box together with Tear & Tape and slipped in my secret Santa gift. I used the lovely Poppy Parade Striped Ribbon to tie up the box

www.crafty-rootes.com – Signs of Santa for a special secret Santa Box

Using the Santa’s Workshop Designer Series Paper and the Santa’s Signpost dies I cut out a Mrs Claus and 3 little elves. I love that we can die cut this paper. I added the die cut pieces to the ribbon with Mini Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Signs of Santa for a special secret Santa Box

I stamped the sentiment from the Signs of Santa stamp set in Poppy Parade ink and die cut a label. I attached it to the box with a Mini Glue Dot.

Easter/Spring Adult Education All Day Event

Posted on March 27, 2018March 26, 2018 by Mo Rootes

Thank you to all the lovely ladies who came to my Adult Education Easter/Spring themed event on Sunday 25^th March. I am sharing today the projects they made. I had set up 5 project tables where they made either 2 cards or a simple lidded box + the sweet little bird house featured in the post on the 23^rd March.

www.crafty-rootes,com – Spring/Summer-Adult-Education-Workshop using Stampin’ Up! product

On arrival each lady was given a pack containing all the pre-cut cardstock layers and card bases they needed to complete the card projects and during the day they moved from table to table making all the projects. The lidded box was pre-scored for them and just needed to be trimmed, put together and decorated. They did use the Simply Scored Scoring Tool to score the cardstock for the birdhouse and assembled this from scratch.

www.crafty-rootes,com – Spring/Summer-Adult-Education-Workshop using Stampin’ Up! product

At the table featuring the Watercolor Wings set they were able to try out 4 step stamping using the new Stamparatus stamp positioning tool which was a resounding success, everybody loved it! They also used the sponge brayer plus an embossing folder and Big Shots to die cut lots of pieces. They also used the Stampin’ Blends on a couple of the projects and really enjoyed using them.

Sweet little birdhouse made using Stampin’ Up! product

Bird House Easter Treats

Posted on March 23, 2018March 20, 2018 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing these adorable little birdhouse treat boxes. I designed these for my Easter/Spring all-day Adult Education event on Sunday 25^th March and decided to make the ladies one each as a table gift. They are just big enough to hold a crème egg ……yummy. I made them in a variety of spring colours.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Birdhouse made using Stampin’ Up! product

I started with a piece of cardstock 6½” by 5¾”. Using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool I scored on the 6½” side at 1½”, 3”, 4½”, and 6” and on the 5¾” side at 1½”, 3¾”, and 5¼”. I folded and burnished on all the score lines.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Birdhouse made using Stampin’ Up! product

Using a sharp pair of scissors I trimmed as shown in the photo.

I placed the smallest heart from the Sweet and Sassy Framelit Dies on the 2^nd rectangular panel from the ½” strip and ran it through the Big Shot.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Birdhouse made using Stampin’ Up! product

I added Tear & Tape to the ½” strip and closed the side of the box. I used Tear & Tape again to close the bottom of the box. put the

I pinched in the top and clipped it together with a mini clothespin.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Birdhouse made using Stampin’ Up! productI took a piece of cardstock 5” by 2” and scored it on the 5” side at 2”, 2 ½” and 3” before running it through the Big Shot using the Ruffled Embossing Folder, gives it an almost tiled effect. I ran the panel through the Big Shot again using the scalloped die from the Apron Builder Framelit dies on either end.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Birdhouse made using Stampin’ Up! product

I folded on the score lines and placed it over the top of the box and again used the mini clothespin to hold it in position.

Using the Petals & More Dies I die cut the branch using green cardstock and added it to the front of the birdhouse with Tombow.

Gorgeous Chines fortune cookie wrap by Stampin' Up!

Artistically Asian Fortune Cookie Wrap

Posted on March 2, 2018February 26, 2018 by Mo Rootes

Today I have been making a bunch of gorgeous little Chinese Fortune Cookie holders using the Artistically Asian Stamp set and inspired by the lovely Gaynor Boyce of Positively Papercraft – click on her name to go to her video . I have been asked to talk to a club in our village next week about our trip to China and these are the perfect little gift to take with me.

I started with a piece of Real Red cardstock 9¼” by 5”. Using my Simply Scored Scoring Tool I scored on the long side at 4” and 5¼” and notched at 1” and 8¼” top and bottom. I then flipped the cardstock over and scored on the short side at 1” and 4”.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Artistically Asian fortune cookie wrap

With the cardstock in landscape – long side at the top and bottom – I cut up either side of the central square. Using the sharp Paper Snips (scissors) I the cut off the piece from the notch to the 1” or 4” score line on all 4 corners. Taking a longer pair of scissors (you could do this on your Paper Trimmer) I cut from the notch to the centre square tabs on all 4 sides and then cut these tabs off. Picture was taken using green cardstock after the boxes were made, I ran out of Real Red!

www.crafty-rootes.com – Artistically Asian fortune cookie wrap

I inked up the ‘bamboo’ image from the Artistically Asian stamp set using Cherry Cobbler ink, I tried Real Red but it faded into the background a little too much for the look I was going for, and stamped it at the bottom of the front and back panel having folded and burnished both of these score lines. I folded the triangular side pieces to the front and back and burnished. Using a Mini Glue Dot on the point of each triangle I stuck 2 to the front and 2 to the back.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Artistically Asian fortune cookie wrap

Taking scrap Real Red cardstock I die cut 2 circles using my Big Shot and the Layering Circle Dies before stamping the ‘chrysanthemum’ image onto one circle in Versamark Ink and the 2 Chinese text stamps saying Faith in God & Friendship onto the other circle in Versamark ink. I then covered them with Gold Embossing Powder before heat setting with my Heat Tool.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Artistically Asian fortune cookie wrap

Using Tombow Liquid Adhesive I added the embossed Real Red circles to bigger scalloped circles cut from scrap Basic Black cardstock using the same die set. The circles were then added with a Stampin’ Dimensional, one to the front and the other to the back. The fortune cookie was placed inside and the back and front were held together with a Mini Gold Library Clip.

I really love these sweet little packages and I hope the ladies and gentlemen coming to the talk will like them.

Hometown Greetings for a secret Santa box

Posted on December 22, 2017December 19, 2017 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing the box I made for my team secret Santa gift. This box proved amazingly popular with the team members.To make it you will need the following;
Night of Navy cardstock 10¾ by 10¾
Whisper white cardstock 7⅜ by 7⅜
Whisper White cardstock pieces 4” by 3” x 5
Emerald Envy cardstock 3″ by 3″
Night of Navy cardstock 3″ by 3″
Whisper White cardstock 3″ by 3″
Scraps of Emerald Envy cardstock

I have added photo’s to the description but have used lighter coloured cardstock as the score lines show up better.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Secret Santa box made using Hometown Greetings dies by Stampin’ Up!

Start by using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool to score the 10¾” by 10¾” piece of Night of Navy cardstock at 3¾” and 7” then rotate the cardstock 90⁰ and score at 3¾” and 7” again – ignore the extra partial line on the right, it was a mistake!!!

www.crafty-rootes.com – secret Santa box using Hometown Greetings dies by Stampin’ Up!

Using scissors cut up each of the vertical lines but only as far as the horizontal line – see picture. Then take a small wedge from the right and left side of each of the 4 tabs and trim about 1″ from each tab to make them shorter. Fold and burnish on the score lines. Using strong adhesive, Tear and Tape or Fast Fuse; stick each of the tabs to the inside to form a sturdy box base.

www.crafty-rootes.com – secret Santa box using Hometown Greetings dies by Stampin’ Up!

Next, score the 7⅜” by 7⅜” piece of Whisper White cardstock at ½” and 2” on all 4 sides.

www.crafty-rootes.com – secret Santa box using Hometown Greetings dies by Stampin’ Up!

Cut the tabs as shown in the picture.

www.crafty-rootes.com – secret Santa box using Hometown Greetings dies by Stampin’ Up!

Fold and burnish on all the score lines. Apply a strong adhesive, Tear and Tape or Fast Fuse to the back of the 4 tabs and to the front of the 1/2″ score lines which will be folded over inside the lid to re-enforce the top.

Using the Hometown Greetings dies and the 5 pieces of 4” by 3” Whisper White cardstock and a Big Shot, die cut out the rows of houses.

www.crafty-rootes.com – secret Santa box using Hometown Greetings dies by Stampin’ Up!

I cut out the church row once, the row of larger houses 3 times and the smaller houses once. The pieces will be longer than you need, you can trim them to size. Also die cut the trees using a scrap of Emerald Envy cardstock, these can be glued on top of the white trees with Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – secret Santa box using Hometown Greetings dies by Stampin’ Up!

www.crafty-rootes.com – secret Santa box using Hometown Greetings dies by Stampin’ Up!

Take one of the rows of larger houses and die cut with a 2¾” Layering Circle Die. Glue this to the same size die cut circle from Night of Navy cardstock. Then add this to a slightly larger scalloped circle die cut from Emerald Envy cardstock and the Layering Circles dies.

www.crafty-rootes.com – secret Santa box made using Hometown Greetings dies by Stampin’ Up!

I took each of the die cut rows of houses and ‘scribbled’ all over them with Tombow Liquid Adhesive and sprinkled them with lots of Dazzling Diamonds Glitter. The gorgeous, glittery houses can then be added to the sides of the box with Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The Layered Circles were then added to the top of the box with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The box held a gorgeous candle surrounded by a wintery scene.

Triangular boxes holding mini Toblerones

Beautiful Bouquet for OnStage swaps

Posted on November 10, 2017November 5, 2017 by Mo Rootes

Twice a year Stampin’ Up! demonstrators have the opportunity to get together at an event called OnStage for training and the opportunity to network. It is always such fun; we get to see the up-coming new catalogue, to try out some of the new product and to get some business tips and ideas and come away with some freebies……..Whoop Whoop.

As part of the fun many of us design and make swaps to share with other demonstrators and this time I opted for a 3D swap using some of the Brights colour collection – Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzelberry, Old Olive, Bermuda Bay and Real Red. I knew I wanted to use mini Toblerones , love these………. so I searched Pinterest and Youtube for ideas on packaging and stumbled across an video by Linda Parker – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrV6TkIV5qg featuring a box she made to hold 2 mini Toblerones. I adapted her measurements and came up with this cute little triangular box.
