Gifts From The Sea with DSP

I love to give homemade gifts. Creating something special for someone is a gift from the heart!  I love the ocean and have always enjoyed combing the beach for sea glass and shells. My sister and I made some gifts from shells we picked along the shore.

I had so much fun trying different patterned paper and napkins. The great part about using your DSP is you can create a matching card, gift, and/or box.

Stampin’ Up! offers fun and FUNctional packaging, so you can wrap it up in style! I used a clear acetate card box (#144628) to gift the sailboat shell. I wrapped it in tissue paper and placed the coordinating card in the front of the box for a quick birthday gift. This simple card design can be used with any DSP. I used denim ribbon and the Smooth Sailing Dies to tie it all together.

The Mini Paper Pumpkin Boxes (#153069) are the perfect size for large shells. I decorated the top of the box in matching DSP. I stamped (and punched) the sentiment from Friends Are Like Seashells to put inside the box. It’s the perfect saying to go with these shells when gifting to a friend!

I have several of these shells throughout my home. They have so many uses! You can put them by the sink in the kitchen or bath, or in the bedroom to hold rings/jewelry/trinkets. You can keep one by the stove for a spoon rest and/or teabag holder. They also make a great decor piece on a coffee table, end table, etc.

I used some paper napkins to make table favors to coordinate with my place settings!

You can put some after dinner mints in the shells and wrap them in the printed gusseted cellophane bags (#151312) for your guests to take home or give as a hostess gift.

The best thing about this project is my sister and I enjoyed the oysters, clams, and stuffed quahogs for dinner before using the shells to create gifts for friends & family. How great is that?!!!

So what do you think of this project idea? I bet you can think of even more uses for these shells.  I’d love to hear your ideas! Leave a comment below.

Another Perpetual Birthday Calendar & Free Tutorial

Stampin' Up!Oval Occasions Perpetual Birthday Calendar Box - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I have a problem…I can’t stop making these Perpetual Birthday Calendars and boxes! It’s time to get out that designer series paper you’ve been hoarding and showcase your favorite patterns.  What better project to make than one that will be used year after year. Yesterday I shared 3 different calendar boxes. (If you missed that post you can view it HERE.) Here’s another one.
Stampin' Up! Pierced Bloom Dies Perpetual Birthday Calendar Box idea _ Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Today’s design features the Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper. (You can get this paper for FREE with a qualifying purchase through the end of February). I used the Pierced Blooms Dies to fill the envelope I cut from the Snail Dies. (This set is worth it just for that envelope die!!!!) I love this color scheme of Navy, Seaside Spray, and Basic White.

These are really quite easy to make. You just print, cut/punch, and adhere to patterned paper and/or cardstock of your choice.  There’s so many different ways to decorate the front of the boxes!  I can’t wait to give these to my friends and family. I have two friends with birthdays this month. There’s even room to fit a set of homemade birthday cards in the box (which I love to give as gifts). The recipient just needs to fill in the names of family members & friends beside their birth date on the monthly dividers. Here’s the details:

To make the box: Cut cardstock 9 1/4 x 9. Score along the 9 1/4″ side @ 4 1/2 and 6. Score along the 9″ side at 1 1/2 and 7 1/2. Cut in on the 4 1/2″ and 6″ score lines up to the 2″score line on both sides. Notch the tabs as shown below. Fold and burnish along score lines. Add adhesive to the notched tabs and the smaller ends which will be the front of the box. *I adhered the tabs to the outside of the back of the box then folded the front flaps back over the tabs. (I did this because I didn’t want the tabs on the inside to interfere with pulling the cards in and out.)

I cut the sides of the box at an angle from the front to the back but you could leave it straight if you prefer.

The cardstock layer on the front of the box measures 3 x 5 3/4. I cut the Designer Series Paper 1/8″ less (2 7/8 x 5 5/8).

The monthly dividers measure 4 x 5 1/2 and are cut from Thick Basic White cardstock. I adhered the same size patterned paper to each then adhered the calendars. I punched 24 cardstock ovals using the Double Oval Punch. I printed the months on Basic White cardstock and punched using the smaller of the Double Oval Punch.
Stampin' Up! Paper Blooms Perpetual Calendar Box Tutorial - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I adhered the months to the ovals then adhered to the front of the divider. I lined up the other oval and adhered to the back of the divider. I wanted it to be sturdy to pull out year after year. *Tip: Once you get the first 3 months lined up along the left, center, and right it is quick & easy to finish the rest by lining up the blank cards in front of these and using January, February, and March as a guide for where to place ovals.

*Note – If you plan to mail these, the box and a set of birthday cards fit nicely in the Paper Pumpkin boxes! I always save my Paper Pumpkin boxes and turn them inside out to send packages.
