Stampin Up Fry Box!

 

I bought Stampin Up's Fry Box a few months ago!  I have to admit I was a little disappointed at the size of the box.   With all the pictures I saw- I thought it would be a little bigger.    When I went to Pinterest, I saw a few different ways it could be used.   Check out the box at the link below- no instructions but easy to see how to make the box with just using the tall side of the die-

I did not follow the score line that is on the bottom of the die.  After I cut out the die- I laid it on my Score Board and made my own straight score line so the box would stand flat in the middle.

 

 

 

 

 

After I made the middle of the box - I just added a Fry box to each side!  I used strips of the same color to cover the area where the boxes were joined.  Of course, before I added the side Fry Boxes -I added a handle.  It makes 3 compartments for candy! 

 

              At Christmas, I made a few baskets to give to my staff!  I used only 2 of the Fry boxes and put them back to back.  I love how they turned out! So many ideas to decorate them are on Pinterest!

 

 

Here are a few of my favorite! 

Santa Fry Box

Wondrous Wreath Fry Box

Silver Fry box

So, in the end - I have ended up loving my Stampin Up Fry Box!  I think there are more options to explore in using this die!!



Sorry for the long post but I thought I would show you the Thank you cards I made to give out after Christmas!  I also bought Stampin Up's Birch Tree Embossing folder!  I think it makes a gorgeous card! 

I am working on a few ideas for Valentine's Day cards!  I hope to post them soon!  Valentine's Day is one of my favorite Holidays!!!   Have fun!!

Valentine Baskets!

I found directions for this adorable Valentine basket while I was looking at Pinterest!  I made these for my staff for Valentine's Day! I love using different decorative paper for them but the sturdiest of papers are the best to use.  They are filled with a candy packet that contains 2 graham crackers, marshmellow and snack size Hersey bar=S'mores!  I also added different decorative trim to each basket.  I only used one handle for each basket.  The directions show 2- which is cute too!! You can click on the picture to make it bigger!  Happy Valentine's Day to all!  You can check out the directions here-
