Using Stampin' Up's Treat Bag Thinlits to match a Card in a Box

Hi there,

Today I have the little table favours I made for my eldest sons 18th birthday dinner last week. They match yesterdays card in a box which you can find HERE :-)

I am still loving the mini treat bag thinlits die and for this project I kept the bags flat -as they were intended- as I filled them with a lottery scratch card and a mini Green and Blacks chocolate. You can of course see my video HERE for three ways with this die including how to make it 3d.
**EDIT TO SAY: I have a new Two Minute Tuesday Video sharing my tips on how to make sure the sequins don't unravel HERE**

OK, so onto today's treat bags,

  I used retired paper to match yesterdays card but wouldn't they look fab in Birthday Bash paper??

On a punched Note Tag I stamped and then masked off the "celebrate" word from  the Celebrate Today stamp set then stamped these waves of triangles (they are intended to be balloon tails, I think) in different colours to coordinate with the paper

 Some of the bags together. 

I love the Bermuda Bay sequins teamed with the Tangerine Two Tone trim

 On the table I added coordinating serviettes too ;-)

 I also needed an extra bag to use to wrap a gift. I simply changed up the tag using the "surprise" sentiment from the Birthday Surprise stamp set to match the card...

 ...and added the stars and bursts from Perpetual birthday Calendar around the edges

and a few stacked together to finish. They went down well at the birthday meal but unfortunately we only had one £1 winner on the whole table ;-)

And here was the table on the night- there were a lot of those little star sprinkles found for days afterwards...

and a pic of the birthday boy with his card too!

OK, that's all from me for today.

I hope you have enjoyed today's post and I'll see you tomorrow, same time(ish), same place!
Thanks for looking

Stampin' hugs,

Pop Up Card in a Box for an 18th Birthday using Birthday Surprise by Stampin' Up!

Hello!

I'm here with the card I made for Josh's 18th birthday last week. I wanted something a bit special and having seen these cards in a box around for the last year or so I finally decided to bite the bullet and have a go! 

If you fancy making your own version then just pop in "Box card" or "card in a box" into Google and there are literally hundreds of photo or video tutorials out there! If you still want me to make a quick video anyway then please let me know :-)

 This is what I made...

I used the Birthday Surprise stamp set in Crushed Curry, Strawberry Slush and Bermuda Bay with Basic Grey. 

  with die cut glimmer paper for the "18" from the retired Bigz Typeset Alphabet on a window sheet, you could try the Perfect Print Numbers Die.

The colours were based on this DSP which is retired. 

I am on a mission this year to use up all those left over packs of DSP!!

 I punched out the circles with the 1+3/4" circle punch and added a card cut with the Starburst Framelits behind. A touch of Tangerine Tango Two-Tone Trim* decorates the front. 

*Now, that's a tongue twister if ever I heard one!! Lol!

 a side view

 and of course it folds flat to fit in an envelope :-)

and once more to finish today!

OK, short on chat tonight as tea is almost done and I finally have a night at home. Between birthdays and work I have been out every night for the last 8 days! I'm seriously looking forward to relaxing in front of the telly box tonight!

Thanks as ever for looking today, I'll be back tomorrow with the favour bags I made for the birthday table to match this card.

Stampin' Hugs,
