There is one more month of the 2025-2027 In Colors in the toolbox. Let me know if you would like to receive this month's Toolbox by filling out the form at the bottom of this post.

Every box starts with a set of Blends. I also offer the option of an ink spot and reinker. You may specify which ink spot and reinker color you would like to receive. Each month also has a sheet of dimensionals and a handmade card!! I have also started adding a free card kit!!

More Details about the Every Other Month Crafty Toolbox

What is a Crafty Toolbox?

It's a collection of Stampin' Up! crafting supplies you'll need to complete your crafting projects! An assortment of current crafting supplies such as embellishments, ribbons, adhesives, spritzers, glue dots, water painter, daubers, Blender Pens, embossing powders, envelopes, etc. will be inside each kit. You  don’t know what you’ll get each month. It will be a happy surprise!

How often will I receive the Toolbox?

Every other month (the even number months) you will receive an assortment of products valued at $20 or more. 

Will there be any recurring products?

Yes, there are. What you WILL receive each month is one Blends Combo Pack (a different color each month) and a sheet of dimensionals (total $10 value). I’ll also send you one handmade card.

There is also another option. You can choose to receive an ink spot with the matching reinker instead of a Blends Combo. Yay, choices!!

How long am I obligated?

There is no obligation, and you can stop your subscription at any time. 

How much does it cost?

This happy little toolbox is only $25, which includes $5 for shipping, so you’re getting $25 in supplies for $20! If you live locally and will pick up your Toolbox, then the cost is $20.

How do I pay?

Payment is by PayPal, check, or cash. If paying by check, your Toolbox will be mailed after your check clears.

What is the deadline to sign up each month?

Orders and payments need to be placed by the 15th of each month. Your Toolbox will be mailed around the 25th.

How do I sign up?

Click on the box below to fill out the form to sign up. You will need to pick the option to subscribe for 6 months or month to month. With either option, you will receive an invoice each month to pay for that month's Toolbox.

Valentine's Day Envelope Fold Front Treat Holder Card

Valentine's-Day-Envelope-Fold-Front-Treat-Holder-Stampin-Up

Hello and welcome to my blog! It's time to start making your Valentine's Day cards!! Today I'm sharing this awesome envelope fold front treat holder. At the end of this post is a link for you to download a free tutorial with all the instructions and measurements and, also, a video showing the construction of this card. Since this card has several steps that need to be done correctly, I'll just explain them in the video. Check it out. Links to all the supplies I used are also at the bottom.

Here is the front of the card full of the treats.

This is what it looks like without the treats in it.

I'm going to give you some basic instructions, but for more detailed instructions, either download the free tutorial or watch my video. I started with a 8 1/2" x 11" piece of Poppy Parade cardstock. Mark it as I have indicated below and cut those 2 corners off. Save those corner pieces. In between sections 1 and 3, cut a small sliver out along the score line to make it easier to fold together.

Adhere a 3" x 4" piece of designer series paper to the upper right-hand corner of section 1.

Valentine's-Day-Envelope-Fold-Front-Treat-Holder-Stampin-Up

 Adhere a 1 1/2" x 6" piece of designer series paper to the front side of section 1. This is the side you see when you fold it over. You will have to trim off the overlapping edges. I did not show that in the picture. Fold section 1 over onto section 2 and adhere down with Tear and Tape. This is your first pocket.

From this point I'm just going to show you the order of folding. Section 1 folds over onto section 2 and adhere down just the outside edge.

The bottom 2 sections then fold up on the top sections. Adhere section 3 down onto the top section with Tear and Tape on the 2 outside edges. You can then adhere a piece of designer series paper to the front.

Lastly, section 4, or the section on the left, folds under and forms the inside of the card. And you're done!

I stamped our new Valentine's Day stamp in Poppy Parade ink on the inside after cutting the Basic White piece with the largest die from Textured Notes dies. That completes our card. Now you can stuff it with your treats.
