This past Saturday, my upline, Gloria Plunkett hosted the Luv 2 Stampin GA team meeting. During our meetings, we are able to spend time making various projects. So today I am sharing a Lily Impressions 3-D project designed by Gloria for the team. This special 3-D project is a small wreath that is the perfect size to hang by your desk or in a work cubicle. Mine is going to hang in craft room by my work desk. The project features the Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper. This beautiful Lily Impressions is available in the Sale-a-Bration brochure. With a purchase of $50 (before shipping & taxes), you can select FREE.
Project Details:
To begin, use a 4″ Styrofoam wreath as the base. Next, Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper is cut into strips and wrapped around the wreath. When wrapping the strips, overlap the end of each strip and glue matching the ends of the Designer Series Paper strip. Before wrapping the strips, cut a “v” in both ends of the paper strips. TIP: When adding the strips, slightly overlap to cover the Styrofoam wreath. For embellishing the wreath, use the Starburst Punch to cut a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock. Cut a stitched circle from Whisper White cardstock using the Stitched Shapes Dies. Then, top with your initial cut from Melon Mambo cardstock using the Hand-Lettered Prose Dies. NOTE: Cut three initials and layer to add dimension. With the Sprig punch, cut two sprigs from Sparkle Glimmer Paper. Sandwich the sprigs between the Whisper White stitched circle and the Pretty Peacock cardstock. Attach the circle to the middle of the wreath by using Multipurpose Liquid Glue along the edge of the cardstock circle. Finish by adding a Whisper White Polka Dot ribbon bow on the front. Glue a small ribbon circle on the back to use for hanging.
Isn’t this a cute wreath? What’s great is you can create your own unique wreath by selecting other coordinating colors for the embellishment. For a larger Styrofoam wreath, just adjust the length and width of the strips from the Designer Series Paper you select.

Another project from the All About Easter class earlier this week were Easter Treat Holders. The first project holds a carrot shaped treat holder. Last month at our team meeting, we were able to make a similar holder. Thank you Gloria for the idea! It is a project that I knew would be perfect to include in the All About Easter class. The carrot treat containers are available at Dollar Tree and the boxes are perfect to hold the carrot erect. Another of the treat projects is a CASE from Angie Juda. For both projects, simply cut and score cardstock to create the holder. Refer to the details below the photos for more details.
Don’t you agree each box is perfect for holding the Easter treats? Either of the treat holders are perfect to use as table favors. Or just use when you want to give someone a special Easter treat. The carrot treat holder is sized large enough that you can add a non-candy item such as nuts or a package of garden seeds.
Each box is quick and easy so you can make multiples at a time. Simply cut the cardstock, score, cut the opening, and fold. Add Designer Series Paper and embellish. How Sweet It Is and Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper are used for the projects above.
Carrot Treat Box Details
- Start with a 2-3/4″ x 11″ piece of Pineapple Punch cardstock. Score the cardstock at 4″, 6-1/4″, 7-1/2″ and 9-3/4″.
- Cut selected designer series paper to 2-3/8″ x 2-3/8 and a 2-3/8 x 1-1/8″.
- To create the cutout to insert carrot, use the 2″ circle punch or the layering circle dies to cut a hole in the cardstock. The panel for the hole is between the 7`1/2″ and 9-3/4″ score lines.
- Attach the designer series paper as shown in the photo above.
- Apply Tear and Tape adhesive to the smaller end panel and seal to form box shape.
- Stamp the bunny and carrot onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. The stamps are from the Best Bunny Photopolymer Stamp Set in the Annual Catalog. Highlight the bunny with the Petal Pink Stampin’ Write Marker and punch using the 1-1/2″ circle punch. Color the carrot with the Pumpkin Pie and Granny Apple Green Stamper Write markers. You’ll need to fussy cut the carrot. Use the 1-3/8″ scallop circle punch to cut Pineapple Punch cardstock. Attach the bunny onto the scallop circle with adhesive and add the carrot using a mini-glue dot.
- Embellish by adding slip a piece of Lemon Lime Twist Ombre ribbon and use Stampin’ Dimensionals to add the bunny scallop piece over the ribbon.
Visit Angie Juda at My Chic ‘n Scratch for details on creating the Easter Chick treat box. I embellished her design by adding flowers using the Bitty Blooms Punch Pack from the Occasions Catalog. The finishing touch is adding green paper shred under the chick.
NOTICE: Stampin’ Up! announced that the Stampin’ Trimmer and accessories are retiring effective June 3, 2019. I encourage you to order your trimmer supplies soon!

When I received my order with the Eastern Medallions Thinlits a few months ago, I knew they would be perfect to use with the Window Box Thinlits so I came up with a design that was used in a recent class. What is great is that you can create a variety of looks on the top and/or sides of the window box just by varying which thinlits you select and how much you layer the various thinlits to create a design. After selecting the pieces and cutting the top portion of the window box, a circle was cut using the Layering Circles Framelits and adhered to the inside of the box lid to help showcase the medallion.

The window box is the perfect size when you want to give a small gift or treat. If adding treats that are not prepackaged, I recommend using the food safe Cellophane bags.
