It’s the 10th!! I think by now you know what that means here on my blog!
The FIRST of MANY peeks and ideas for the Papertrey Ink Release Countdown 😀 and peeks of my 2 newest My Timeless Templates ©
I cannot tell you how excited I get every month. Granted the first week of the month I’m working like a MAD woman, HOPING to inspire you with some great ideas to get you jump started. It’s ALWAYS nerve wracking as I try to top my last months projects. Fingers crossed 😀
I will say you all help me strive to better my best 😀 I LOVE a challenge, and thrive on being busy. I feel like the busier I am, the more creative I get. It’s weird. I don’t know what to do when I’m NOT running around. I can’t handle QUIET. Thank goodness because my life has always been full of everything BUT that!
OK I know you are TOTALLY over my blabbering on, so I’m going to just get to it OK!
PLEASE NOTE: Release of stamp set and My Timeless Template is September 15th!
Supplies listed/linked at post bottom 😀
I’m happy to share that my design with this template is a peek of a New! stamp set Peaceful Poinsettia by
Melissa Bickford . Check her BLOG for more samples with this set.
Season’s Greetings Set
I love matchy matchy gift sets, and this one is so prefect for the holidays!
I love Sweet Blush, Pure Poppy, Spring Moss, and Ripe Avocado for holiday gifts!
This set is just so pretty, and the best part-EASY to work with!!!! I just adore Melissa’s sets to pieces. and her style is so ME! Oh, and I’m sure so YOU too!
Here is the card
I used the tag image from the set to create 2 different tags-one on my card, the other on the box.
While using the tag I stamped my sentiment in Ripe Avocado, and then the poinsettias (they are a separate stamp trio :D)in pure poppy ink, on my sweet blush strip, adding gold adhesive pearls to their centers! A very easy way to add to the POP of the tag .
I also used the border image along my template, in which I dotted my border flowers centers with a gold pen.
The large layering poinsettia flower was used to make my very own brad embellishment for the center of my Poinsettia flower on my gift box!
More on that…keep reading!
So this month’s My Timeless Template is named: Keeping Tabs ©
We have the standard size, and will also offer the Pretty Petite version as well!!
Today’s peek shares the standard size version.
About Keeping Tabs ©
I am always looking for really neat ways to “un-wrap” or reveal what is inside a gift I package. When it does reveal your gift in a fun way, it makes it so much fun!
This amazing box is held closed on the side, by inserting 2 tabs into the back. You cannot even see them! They just tuck right in there, effortlessly!
(That is how this template received its name)
Now to add even more detail, it is tied closed (that is of course optional) with some of that stunning ribbon, we all tend to hoard! Making this so pretty couldn’t get any easier.
Now I am SURE you want to know HOW I made that stunning brad in the center of my sparkly poinsettia flower, so here is a Video on that
Isn’t that the COOLEST tool ever?
I love the I Top! You can find it –> HERE!
Now opening our template……
Untie the ribbon
Lift the lid
and…….
Look how much this can hold!!
Its FULL of fun, and yum!
Once unfolded. the template has 2 pretty pockets, that are a very nice size.
The front flap design, as well as the 2 pockets inside, have killer curves, that once again add to the WOW! factor.
One other GREAT detail-you cannot see any of this “messy” stuff when this box is complete.
Like all the My Timeless Templates ©, this one was made so you can EASILY assemble it!
As a card maker, we can never have too many ways to package our precious paper masterpieces! I am happy to announce that this is another great take on card packaging!!
The standard Keeping Tabs © template can hold your standard A2 cards and envelopes. It is also perfect for MANY other gift ideas!
The Pretty Petite version is perfect for our 3×3 envelopes and cards/tags, or many other fun size treats! More on that to come 😀
Now don’t get stuck thinking it is ONLY good for cards! You can package so many different items in here. This template will leave you wondering what you can Keep Tabs on next.
So to show you something besides card packaging I thought I’d make a nice gift set for a Party Hostess or someone special! Maybe even a Yankee Swap?
So, all opened up…..
We have tea!
Yes! You are seeing correctly.
Our Clearly Creative Card Boxes fit IN this one Can you imagine the FAB wraps you can now make JUST using the pockets of this template, for your card boxes, or other items you like to stuff in them…..like my packages of Green Tea
Our decorative mat layer helps you make a perfect and professional cut, every time!
Now in the other pocket (on the right), one of my FAVE treats
Pirouline Cookie Duo Packs! Each package has 2 cookie stix at 100 calories total 😀 YUM!!
So once your template is filled, you just wrap it all up, and you are off and running!
Its a great holder for SOOOOO many things.
Well, what do you think? I would love to hear your feedback 😀

Do you know if the templates can be converted so that they can be cut with the Cricut (using SAL)? Just wondering becasue that would make them even easier.
Love the new template, can’t wait for the 15th.
I like it…I agree you can never have to many ways to package up neat homemade items.
well its gorgeous of course! 🙂 Those colors are really fun for the holidays, without screaming DECEMBER. lol
That’s really cool how much you’ve fit in there!!!
Nice tutorial about the I-Top, so very well detailed. And just waiting for the 15th. to get the new “My TimeLess Template”
LOVE this new template….how do you keep coming up with these incredible ideas that keep us all amazed? Yes, I see another new template in my (near) future!
I wish I had a quarter of your talent and creativity!! I absolutely love your templates. I’ve been making little gift items for girls at work and they are amazed at the adorable things i give – of course I can’t take credit – they are your templates! Can’t wait til the 15th!!
I have several templates which I love, but this one is a definite must-have. So clever and I love the curves on the pockets.
Another wow! I love both the card and the box! Lovely!
WoW! I have purchase like five templates and I’m loving this one. This is could be a great gift giving, like teachers and a friend birthday. Continue giving us more surprises with your awesome templates.
