Im so excited for today’s peek!! I’m sharing sample with my other 2 templates!
I hope you will NEED to give this a try and will be just as excited.
So here is the BUZZ! on one of the next My Timeless Templates ©! All templates shown are being released on the 15th–>HERE!
This is my favorite project 😀
How cute is this little bee (box)? I was “buzzin” around my stamp room with excitement when I made this for 3 reasons
1) What a fabulous, and TOTALLY different use of the “original template
2) Its VERY easy to do. I love project that LOOK difficult but take MINUTES 😀 (yeah like 10 to be exact :D)
3) Its way too cute!
She is holding a jar of honey in her belly 😀
Now do you recognize this box?
Here is another view
Do you recongize it now?
Here is a hint!
It was one of my most REQUESTED templates to make for the past 9 months!!
Thats a pregnancy term!(another hint!)
How about now?
Do you know what template this is from?
Well, if you guessed Bun in the Oven YOU are correct!!
Did you ever think that an “OVEN” template could NOT be an oven?
This template was one I have gotten numerous emails about WEEKLY, since posting it back in May of last year.
Everyone has waited, and NOW it is time 😀
You can now not only make as many little ovens (easily!) as your heart desires, and MANY other gifts too.
When we thought to (finally) release the Bun in the Oven template, we thought-I don’t think it can be anything other than a oven! LOL! Well were we ever wrong! I have been playing around with it, and it is actually quite the amazing little box!
You can use the “oven door” hinge template, that comes with or without the window cut out, OR you can make a slider cover using patterned paper, acetate (as seen in this one), vellum or cardstock.
Endless possibilities-which I will continue to share during the countdown.
I mean look at this little bee!!
She could be a chick, a bunny, a lady bug……….seriously anything!
What I did for MY bee was Print template onto lemon tart cardstock, cut, and scored the box as directed. I then stamped my “bee” lines using Background Basics Retro, prior to assembling. I also stamped my sentiment from Honey Bees on the top.
Then put together per instruction 😀
I made my antennae using wire, and a pencil 😀 Adhered it to the little tab flap.
I then took mycircle nestability in made the head from black cardstock, cut it down , and adhered the bee head to the little flap (covering the antennae). Used circle punches for the eye 😀 Applied a ribbon to her head.
I then made an acetate slider cover (directions included with download of course), and adhered a flower to the front.
For the “wings” I punched 2 Marvy oval s(purple punch) from lined vellum cardstock, used my glue pen to draw on “swirls” for the wings, and added some glitter. They are adhered to my aceate slider withscor-tape-which is my adhesive of choice for ALL my templates!!
Now I can’t tell you HOW versatile this is ! I will share ANOTHER peek tomorrow 😀
Now we are on to one of my BEST template yet!
This one is called File it with Flair ©
(NOTE: I punched holes in my back panels-you don’t have to do that.)
Can you believe it?! Isn’t it gorgeous?! I can just see teachers desks all over the WORLD being adorned with stamper mom’s, personalized versions- of the File it with Flair © desk organizers!
This particular template is FAB-U-LOUS!
(Note: I made a backing to mine as well.)
It can easily fit a nice variety of items. It is especially made to be able to hold a large mount of A2 size cards/envelopes as well. Wait until you SEE all you can do with this particular template. WOW.
This is our File it with Flair box template-which is FABULOUS to use on its OWN. But the box you are looking at- the “File box” template-is printed, cut, scored and assembled THREE times, to create this organizer. So its a multi purpose file box.
So when you purchase this template (STILL ONLY $5!!) you will get
1) the File Box template, which has a really pretty curve to it
Photo of the SINGLE file-
2) The “letter box” which perfectly fits the completed 3 File boxes inside, and/or can be used all on its own! Its a great way to contain the 3 completed file boxes perfectly.
Now you can see the letter box base-ribbon wrapped around top.
3) You also get 2 mat layers to print! So that means you can EASILY decorate the sides of your File it with Flair © box! I created 2 layers, already with the PERFECT curves for you to print with NO FUSS layering, to make your design quicker, easier, and perfect-everytime. I know those angle cuts (let alone CURVES-) can be a challenge! You should have seen me perfecting those! OH BOY!
Now you know how much I LOVE organization! Well I also love personalizing it. I have been very inspired by office products these days, and formatting them to be used by people like me, in a much more personal, and STYLISH fashion.
I love the large wooden versions, but they can run $70! That is INSANE!!! So I looked at it and figured out how to make a cardstock version 😀
Now you may be wanting to know WHAT supplies I used 😀
I used With Sympathy. I LOVE that set!
I made this for my friend Sonia 😀 I personalized it using Fresh alphabet.
stamped my vines in ripe avocado ink, then stamped my flowers separately in berry sorbet.
When it was ALL done, I used Shimmerz to paint the olive color. Really pretty in real life I think!
So! Thats it for peeks today 😀
I hope you are “buzzin” with excitement. I love hearing your feedback on the templates. I think this months release is the best yet.
OK now for more creative clicks-check Nichole, Lisa, Melissa and Heather’s blog!
Come back tomorrow for a special Group post, and of course MORE samples with the newest templates!
Thanks for stopping by.
Till tomorrow

The file folder box is so very stylish! Love that you have all the layers and curves, as well as the beautiful stamps from “Sympathy Set” It is just so functional and Gorgeous….. Take and big kudos and pat on the back for your continued cleverness My Dear!!! Just Great and I can’t wait to see the rest!!!

ok, did you read my mind? My most recent goal is to make a whole bunch of cards to have on hand, so that I’m not running around trying to make one and get it in the mail (late). I’ve been trying to come up with some way to organize my cards…and here it is. You are awesome!!!
I’m speechless…
Lauren – You’ve outdone yourself again! Seriously, you’re a genius!
I love both new templates but I’m really excited about the File it with Flair box template. I totally saw it in my stamp room holding different goodies.
Wow…. I can’t wait until the 15th!
Hugs and love, Renee

Wow, I just LOVE both of these new creations!! The bee is so sweet…perfect for giving honey, or honey based toiletries! And those files are going on my desk. Love how you decorated them. A month ago i did the ‘hair thing’ myself too. I went to trim half an inch of my tresses and ended up taking off about 4!! Not ideal…but it will grow 🙂 Your new length looks fab! LOL!
Love it!!!! I cannot even say that enough! You are amazing. Thanks for sharing your talent so that we can look good too! By the way, I DO like your hair. I know how it affects you when it is not right in your own eyes though so happy and fast growing out. You still look great. Blessings!

Hi, Lauren:
WOW!!!! The File It With Flair is incredible! I run a nonprofit organization in my French country home office and have LOADS of paperwork that will file in these files. The Bun In the Oven is my next favorite – again, so versatile! Thanks so much for making these available. Beautiful work! Kris, Wadsworth, OH
