Directions for the "Stair Step Card" & the "Mini Pizza Box"

Thanks so much for all your visits during the Royal Blog Tour & Thanks for those of you who are returning! Below are the directions I promised on this "Stair Step Card" & for the "Mini Pizza Box" Tutorial. I hope you have fun creating both of these. I think you'll be surprised by how easy they are.

This card was presented at a SU! regional event...so enjoy!

Dimensions/Measurements

Cut CS (Card Stock - I used Ruby Red)

(1) 4 1/4" x 11" & score it @ 1 3/8", 2 1/4", 4 3/8", 6", and 8 1/4".

(1) 4 1/2" x 4 1/4" (This piece is the biggest piece on the front of your card and in my picture I have yellow DSP on the front of it. You adhere this piece to your back score line, which will then become your stand - see picture with side view)

Cut CS or DSP(I used DSP - Designer Series Paper & Whisper White CS)

(1) in Whisper White CS 1 1/4" x 4"

(1) in DSP (This is the yellow piece on my card) 4 1/4" x 4"

(1) in DSP (This is the green piece on my card) 1 3/4" x 4"

To create the circle around the age you want to highlight, you will need;

1" Circle Punch and the 3/4" Circle Punch. Take a piece of CS (I used Bordering Blue on my card) and first punch the 3/4" punch. Make sure your CS is big enough to accomadate the 1" circle punch...because after punching the 3/4" circle you will then go back and punch your 1" circle punch right over the top of your 3/4" circle that you punched. Carefully line it up so all your sides are even...and this will create your double punched circle!

Extras;

I used Black StazOn Ink, Bordering Blue Ink, Ruby Red Ink, Mellow Moss Ink, Snail Adhesive, Dimensionals, Hemp Twine, and 1/4" Mellow Moss Grosgrain Ribbon.

I really hope you have a great time completeing one of these on your own!

Mini Pizza Box Tutorial!

So I wish to thank Rochelle Edwards for her idea and her perfect tutorial on this Mini Pizza Box. As you will see, she used it for a christmas treat stocking stuffer. I loved the idea of putting tags in mine, but many other possibilities come to mind...a gift certificate, or gift card, goodies, or even money!

Supplies used for my pizza box;

I used the items found in the Simply Scrappin' Kit * "Happy B-Day", Whisper White CS, Designer Label Punch, Stapler, 5/8" Brocade Blue Grosgrain Ribbon, Red Sticky Tape, Adhesive, the Bordering Blue, Ruby Red, and So Saffron Ink Pads.

So enjoy her tutorial and make sure to say thanks to Rochelle!
