In last week's LIVE video, I crafted a delightful treat box using the versatile Tune In Bundle (English) [163637] from Stampin' Up!

This project was designed with my special granddaughters in mind and it's super easy to make. However, I made a few wrong cuts along the way, so be sure to watch this part of the video carefully to get it right the first time! Tune in to see how you can create this adorable box and share some crafty love with your loved ones.

The video will begin with the making of this treat box.

Lisa's Inklings for the Movie Night Treat Box:

• Cut card stock 7" x 6".
• Score 1 1/2" from each end on 7" side.
• Score 2" from each end on 6" side.
• Cut slits up to the intersecting score on the score marks on both 7" sides. (The long side!)
• Assemble the box as seen in the video.
• Designer paper: (2) 3 3/4"(wide) x 1 3/4" (tall).
• The Mini Alphabet Dies [162934] and Adhesive Sheets [152334] add the finishing touch to this project!

The Tune In Bundle (English) [163637] has these vintage images that bring back so many memories.

Celebrate your friends and family with the charming, retro style of the Tune In Stamp Set! This set opens up so many possibilities with these delightful images and sentiments that work perfectly together. Imagine creating a nostalgic scene with the TV screen and adding fun elements either inside or around it. Someone even suggested adding a photo of a loved one in the TV screen area! Add a playful touch by pairing inside and outside greetings, or get creative by using one of the smaller images repeatedly to design a unique background for your card front. Whether you're wishing someone a happy birthday or sending a cheerful note, the Tune In Bundle (English) [163637]with the stamp set and coordinating dies have you covered with lots of options.

The You Are Beautful stamp set is so versatile with its lovely sentiments and simple graphics to use as accents.  In this post, take a look at the two projects highlighted in this week's LIVE video.

Project 1: Simple Fun Fold Card

In the replay of our LIVE video, you'll discover how to create a charming simple fun fold card that's guaranteed to bring a smile to anyone's face. We used the gorgeous designer paper from the Wildly Flowering collection. Pairing this beautiful paper with the leafy stem stamp from the "You Are Beautiful" set adds a touch of nature-inspired elegance to the card. It's a great combination that's both easy to make and visually appealing!

Project 2: DIY Gift Bag with Hand-Stamped Tag

We also showcased a fun DIY gift bag project perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple supplies, you can create a personalized gift bag with a hand-stamped tag with an uplifting message from the "You Are Beautiful" Stamp Set. It's the perfect way to add a heartfelt touch to your gifts and show your loved ones how much they mean to you.

Here's the recording of our LIVE so you can see how to assemble these two projects!

This week on Ink and Inspirations, we will spotlight the new You Are Beautiful stamp set from Stampin' Up! 

When I first looked through the catalog, this stamp set was added to my must-have list.  The sentiments clinched it for me!  The verse from Proverbs and the sentiment used on today's card are favorites.

With it being graduation and recital season, this shining light sentiment is perfectly paired with the colorful Full of Life Designer Series Paper.  This color burst image was trimmed down to fit the front of the card base with Crushed Curry being the color of choice for the card stock.

The designer paper that covers the front of the card base in from the Full of Life collection.  The patterns and colors in this set of papers  are amazing.  This "burst of color" design was trimmed down from the 6 " x 6" piece to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".  I trimmed a little from each side to center the burst and get it down to size.

The sentiment is stamped in Pumpkin Pie on a Basic White Stylish Shapes circle with another in Crushed Curry as the mat.  Our Rhinestone Basic Jewels add the finishing touch.

This card would be suitable for a graduate or even for a sweet note for those children or grandchildren participating in a end of year recital. 

Mark your calendars to join us for our Thursday morning LIVE stream on Facebook or YouTube!  We will be creating with the You Are Beautiful set.  Join us at 11 am ET, 10 am CT, 9 am MT, 8 am PT.  See you then!
