Well today is the 10th!
That means I get to FINALLY give you a peek at a NEW! Stamp set from Papertrey Ink called In Bloom! It is over the top FABULOUS!! I love flower sets and this one is to DIE FOR! I was so excited when I saw it, and I think you will fall in complete LOVE with it too.
I used this NEW! In Bloom stamp set to create a FABULOUS gift! Of course that gift was made using one of my NEWEST My Timeless Templates: called Milk Made ©
I am seriously over the moon for the projects I have to share over the next few days! ALL of the My Timeless Templates © really do make your gift giving easier, more creative, affordable, and FUN!
NOTE! These items peeked will not be released until July 15th! Links are provided for those browsing in the future 😀
This template is just fabulous!
About Milk Made ©
I always love little containers! The traditional cardboard “Milk Carton” is included in the fun gift box idea! Many types of candy is packaged in the “milk carton” style boxes nowadays, but they are very unattractive! While I liked the idea, I didn’t like the packaging. So I designed my own! I loved the name “Milk Made”, since it was inspired by the traditional Milk carton! Now these little treat boxes are easier than ever! The Milk Made carton is perfect to present on its own. But, good things come in multiples, right?
Now, what could make it MORE fun, than my own little Milk Crate to carry them in?!
Included in this template you will also receive the template for the cutest “milk crate”. Complete with matching decorative layer.
You can make 2 “milk crates” and adhere them back to back! Then you have 4 milk cartons, all presented in an even more adorable Milk Crate!
Now seriously, who would have thought that a MILK carton could be MADE so cute?
So today what you are going to see the the Milk Made © Carton (2 created), with the Milk Made © Crate(adhered back to back) to create a fabulous gift set of 2 Cartons (to fill with whatever you heart desires), a set of 10 custom designed cards, and 10 envelope slip-covers-that fit PERFECTLY into the Milk Made © Crate!
True Friend Crate Card Set
Here is my completed project!
Here you can see the 2 Cartons in one side.
Then on the other side……I custom designed this card set to fit PERFECTLY into the Milk Made © My Timeless Template!
I went with a monochromatic color scheme for an easy, and elegant look, that just makes you say WOW!
The flowers/leaves are truly stunning, so I wanted to make them POP!
My colors are : Soft Stone, Sahara Sand (From SU!), Smokey Shadow, and True Black-with a small pop of white!
Now let me share the HOW TO!
Set of 10 Cards and Vellum Slip-cover envelopes/label tabs
To create the note cards that fit into Milk Made ©
Finished Card size 3 X 4 1/2
Cut 5 sheets of cardstock to 6 X 9
Along 6 inch side -score at 3 inches
Along 9 inch side – cut in half at 4 1/2 to get your 2 pre-scored cards!
NOTE: You will then have a set of 10 cards
Stamping:
Stamp Flower image onto Soft Stone card-stock in black ink
NOTE: Stamp as many as you will want to create-for this exact project 14
10 for the cards, 2 for the Milk Made © centerpiece images, then 2 more to layer on a dimensional center for the main images
Color images with Copic Markers. I used the T4 and T6 colors.
Color flower center with white gel pen.
NOTE: Since I stamped it on the Stone color I didn’t have to use another marker.
Cut out images, and apply dimensionals.
Simply stamp leaf image, in black ink into lower right corner of cards.
Stamp sentiment at top.
Layer on 3D flower
DONE!
Vellum Slip-Cover Envelope & Label Tags
Simple Slip-Cover Envelope
You will need 5 sheets of Lined vellum cardstock.
Cut the 5 pieces of lined vellum cardstock to 8 1/2 X 9 1/2
Along the 8 1/2 inch side-Score at 3, then 6 1/2.
Cut along the 9 1/2 inch side, in the middle at 4 3/4.
NOTE: This gives you 2 envelope slip covers per piece of cardstock.
Fold on score lines.
Now you will have 10 envelope slip-covers!
Labels
Stamp circle from Borders & Corners Circle set, in black ink.
Stamp smallest flower into center.
Color with markers listed above.
Punch out with 1 3/8 circle punch!
Tie card/slip cover envelope set with a pretty black Saddle Stitched Ribbon!
Done
Now it fits all nicely into the Milk Made © Crate template!
Now on the other side we have 2 of the Milk Made © Cartons
You can put the label stickers you made in here, along with stamps, address labels, paper clips, buttons, ribbon….. whatever!!
They are a great size, so the sky is the limit!
Here is one carton out.
You can see the pretty curves that back panel the Crate has, complete with decorative panel!
Carton Duo
I printed the Milk Made ©Cartons onto the Soft Stone cardstock.
I stamped my In Bloom image, onto the corner of template prior to assembly.
The flowers are SO easy and FUN to color! Obviously I had a BLAST making this 😀
I used the largest flower in the set, then colored the image just like the other flowers, only direct ON the template.
I then assembled the template, as directed.
They both look so pretty in here.
Can’t you see this sitting on desks all across the country?! I know I can 😀
This is the side view of the 2 Milk Made © Crates together
Milk Made Crate:
My Milk Made ©Crate was printed (2 X’s) onto Smokey Shadow Card-stock, then assembled.
Both Crates were adhered back to back!
They have a very prety rounded style/design on the back panel.
I just created the 2 base templates, and adhered them together.
I then tied around my ribbon.
I created a scallop bottom for another pretty detail for my carton, and to continue the Sahara, Stone, Smokey Shadow and Black color combination.
I also made the same center piece for both sides, of the top of my carrier! It’s ALL about the details, and ALL sides looking clean, and professional!
Center piece is stamped/colored/cut. I also added an additional center layer for additional POP!
I think it looks so elegant!

Just amazing!
How you continue to come up with such fabulous designs and then still take even those to the next level just baffles me! Looks so classy!!!
Wow, you did an amazing job. So pretty.

AMAZING is the word….love it!
Oh this is beautiful. I love your templates, I can’t wait to get one.
Beautiful, elegant, AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You’ve done it again. Another beautiful project! I’m in awe of your ability to design such incredible templates each month.
I do like it! I immediately thought of this template for the halloween treats I make for the neighbor kids!
So fun!!!!!!!!!!!! (and you’ve sold me on the stamp set too!)
Oh! I love it!! Thanks for letting me play along this month, I had a blast!! And this IS a great template!
Love your new template and I like the color combination too!
That is just Beautiful! Love it.
oH MY! You are out of control crazy awesome!! This rocks!

xoxo, Christine
Absolutely gorgeous. I love all of the details. The colours are great, and the colouring must have been time consuming, but it is amazing. I absolutely love this new template.
Over the Moon and back again! SO FUN! Love the Milk Made containers and can see them as wonderful additions to baby showers or children’s treat days as school! THANKS for yet another wonderful template filled with possibilities….and oh my goodnesses I LOVE those flowers in mono-color! eh gah. So much for the budget this month.
Love this new template. There are so many possibilities.
Lauren, this is simply ????? Actually, words CANNOT express how awesome this project is. I haven’t bought any of your templates before, not because they’re not super fantastic but because I’m intimidated and feel like I won’t be able to make them and definitely not be able to make something as stunning as you make.
Anyway, I think this month is going to be the month that I get out of my comfort zone. I LOVE this template and what you’ve done with it. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Oh, Lauren….Please understand my grandfather owned a dairy farm so….the milk template hits close to home! Love it I would love to make it with the colors of my Grandpa’s milk bottle tops…red, white & blue. Excellent design
Wow! Could I really do this?
I CANNOT wait until this template is released. Lauren, you are so very talented. Not many people can design in dimension the way you do. Congrats on another great project!
SO COOL!! I love the classic colors you used, too. I think I’m already going to get myself in trouble this release!
***THUD***
You just TOTALLY amaze me.
So pretty and elegant! That flower set is a definite must, and the templates always are! You can’t beat the price or all the ideas they come with! Thanks so much Lauren!! :o)
Beautiful project!!!!
I love this! The milk crate is such a cute idea! I can hardly wait to get my hands on this template.
This is fabulous Lauren!! Love it!
This is just wonderful!!! I love it! I am such a fan of your templates. I love creating boxes and such (have created a few of my own), but I don’t know how to create a template, so my boxes are simple score lines. Anyway, I am wondering what size the milk carton ends up being. Your guest designer had cookies in hers so I am assuming it’s at least a 3″ wide base?
Can’t wait to see your other template!!
~Lacey
Ohhhhhhh. I am about to FAINT. This is THE most stunning template yet. I am in LOVE!!!!!!
I love all of your templates, but this, I think this is the best one so far. I can’t wait to be able to purchase and make this.
Love it! Love the colors, love the style, love the flowers, love the ribbon, love it all! Feel free to send it to me when you’re done with it! I don’t want to make my own; I want this exact one! Lol
Oh my gosh Lauren, this is gorgeous. I cannot wait to get my hands on the template. I know the perfect person to make this for and I am excited to start! Thank you for inspiration!
That is so cool Lauren! Can’t wait to give it a try myself. Thank you!
Absolutely adorable! What a lucky friend to get such a fun gift that is more about the wrapping than the stuff inside!
oooooh…so Elegant!!!
Beautifully done Lauren!!
TFS
Absolutely gorgeous. What a wonderful gift this would be.
i absolutely love everything about it – the colors are nice and neutral but the gorgeous flower adds a nice little flair – you are amazing!
Um… how ’bout WOW!
Diane
I think you’ve outdone yourself this time. These are just spectacular!
Oh my! You’ve done an amazing job! What a gorgeous set!! I just can’t stop ooohhhhing and aaaawwwing over it. You are a very talented lady and I’m glad I can copy you. And I’m glad you sell your plans. And I’m glad you have a blog with so many amazing ideas! Thank you, thank you!
Have wanted to know how to make a milk carton for place settings at showers/birthdays and here you’ve done it! Thank you so much, can’t wait for the 15th!

I LOVE this set! For me, the only thing that would make it better would be to add a bit of red to it. :0)
Swedie

This goes without saying, You are awesome!

Have a great Sunday!
Ooohhh, another Timeless Template & stamp set I have to get – whoohooo, can’t wait!
Hi Lauren
I just had to take a moment to thank you for some really great ideas.
I plan to use your Milk Made templates to capture all the cute little things my kids say, which an idea you had a week or so ago.
I just think this will be the perfect little combo for my 2 boys – 2 milk made templates – bundled together so it is on display so we can be sure to write down those quirky things anytime it happens.
I’ll also plan on gifting this to some of my friends.=A0 I just know they will love it. Thanks so much.
Annie
I love this milk carton template & what you have created with it. Great work of inspiration! You are definitely an enabler! TFS 🙂 Mona
Love it! When you say “template” does that mean that It is cut and assembled by hand? Or is this a cricut type of project that is cut on Cricut?
