Hi everyone!!!
I’m beyond excited to get the Papertrey Ink countdown started!
Now please note that most items featured in today’s post are NEW! (to be released) items from Papertrey Ink. Items will be released August 15th!
It’s the 10th so that means the samples begin, and I get to start sharing peeks of my NEWEST! My Timeless Templates © (releasing the 15th as well)
We have 2 great and practical templates this month! Each one has a standard template size, and the Pretty Petite version, also included in ONE download, for only $5! Remember you not only get unlimited use of the printable template, but the Idea Booklet, which includes 5 exclusive project ideas ONLY published for the download 😀 The idea book comes with a complete set of supplies and step by step instructions, for completing the samples in the book! Download also includes step by step photos/instructions for assembling your template. EASY PEASY!!
I have the honor of peeking one of Melissa Bickford’s new stamp sets called Sign Language😀 The minute I saw it the ideas just flooded my brain! One idea that stuck out the MOST though, was the idea to combine it with the lastest My Timeless Template © Fold n’ Go!
Now before I share my first peek, let me tell you about the first template being revealed!
Sometimes you just want a box with a fun closure! One where the top requires no fancy ribbon or anything else to hold it closed (unless you WANT to add it!), and opens with ease. I have always LOVED Gable style boxes, so I decided to gain some inspiration from that, to make another variation, that is funktified and modernized with a sleeker, less bulky look, and a cool handle. Now to package up a gift, all you have to do is Fold n’ Go!
Now, you may recall I gave you a little (early) peek at this template—> HERE! This project was inspired by a VERY early creation I made called a Boxed Bag Holder—> HERE! My Boxed Bag holder which was done almost 3 years ago! LOL!
This really is a fun template, that can hold so many amazing and fun gifts for ANYONE, which I will share over the next few days.
Now, on to the sample 😀
A gift for your New Home
The idea for this particular gift, was for to hand deliver, OR hang on the door of our friends, who just moved to their very first NEW home!
I thought that using the Sign Language set, with house image from Boards & Beams was obviously perfection-since the sign is just like some of the yard signs in our neighborhood!
I wanted the SIGN itself to be the MAIN focus, so I stamped the house image in the new formula of Sweet Blush ink (its awesome!), onto sweet blush cardstock. The flag itself usess a fun technique that I’ll share further down this post.
I adore the ability to mix and match all the “flags” with sentiments for EVERY holiday! There are SO many cute ones too.
I of course chose to use my 2 favorite images for my “yard signs” to convey the message for these house warming gift packages.
I made similar designs-one using the standard template size, and the other using the Pretty Petite version! This just shows you have versatile everything can be, and weather you decide to decorate a standard Fold n’ Go! template or the Pretty Petite version, both are FAB!
Now you may be wondering WHAT I put inside these gift boxes!
I didn’t get to get photos, as I was stopping off to pick up the gifts ON MY WAY to their house warming party, but in the Large version is a Door Knocker that is engraved with their last name, and in the other we put in a gift card to Lowe’s Home Improvement store! Owning a home you will need lots of stops to the home improvement store! LOL!
Now onto the details of my flags…………….
I always enjoy the look of the Epoxy like sticker embellishments you can buy in stores. Problem, they don’t generally suit my project, or MATCH what I want to do!
So I made my own
This is a VERY simple embellishment you can make, that packs a big punch!
1) Stamp your image in a permanent ink.
Color if needed or desired (Use a smudge-proof marker-like Copic’s)
2) Apply a liberal amount of Crystal Effects
3) Allow sufficient time to dry. (My project was dry within an hour)
4) Use a punch or die cut that fits your image
and punch out
NOTE: The 7/8 square punch fits the flag images from Sign Language perfectly! It even gives you a perfect little border too!
5) Once image is cut-layer onto project
In this case, it is the hanging part of my sign, in which I stamped the border in Hibiscus Burst ink, and my sentiment in black ink, then trimmed out.
Then I added both of the Epoxy embellishments I made, to my completed projects
They really make a simple sign POP!
This is the butterfly on the Pretty Petite version of the Fold n’ Go! template
Now we have the flower flag image on the completed standard version of the Fold n’ Go! template
Together they make a real WOW! presentation for the perfect gift for those NEW! Home owners.
Now there is NO limit to the size of the epoxy like embellishments you can make! You are also saving so much money too 😀 Those sticker sheets can cost upwards of $3 for only a couple of images, that aren’t tailored to YOUR project!
Another option would be taking a page pebble, and add it over your image! Only “problem” would be that you are limited to the shape & size of your page pebble, and it does cost more to use them.
This is just a fun and easy way to really add another WOW! element to your completed template or card projects!
Well that is it for me. I’m excited to hear your thoughts about today’s projects!
Giveaway: Just leave me a comment here, and enter to win the Fold n’ Go template on Release night!
Winner will be posted on the 13th (my daughter Amber’s birthday!)
Lots more countdown peeks going on, so visit Nichole for more ideas and creative clicks! I also believe Melissa, Heather, Dawn and Tiffany(her first stamp set debut for PTI!) will have some eye candy as well! (I hope I’m not forgetting anyone :C)

More to come tomorrow as I reveal my next template for the month of August! Oh and have a giveaway for that one as well!

love the template, and love the page pebble you made. thanks for the inspirations.
lois paulo
Absolutely wonderful idea!
these cards are just adorable!!!
Lauren, I love your templates! This seems perfect for the upcoming holidays! I imagine bread mix or sugar cookies on the inside — cute little cookie cutters hanging on the outside. How you incorporated Sign Language with Boards and Beams makes me want BOTH sets — and of course, your template! HUGS!!
As always, another beautiful template! Happy birthday to Amber!
Your templates are very clever
I like the colors you used for this template, what a great way to welcome a new neighbor into your neighborhood!!
I love this template! I can see so many uses for it – you did it again! Thanks Lauren!
I love it and will have to get this one. Thanks for the wonderful idea. I can’t wait till tomorrow.
Wow Lauren, how do you come up with all of these ideas and 3 years ago too! What an awesome idea for those epoxy stickers too. I think I need to replace my CE bottle now.
I’m blown away by your templates, and now that you’ve added the Pretty Petites versions, I’m hooked! I really like the samples you made—it looks so cool to see the large sign with the smaller house in the background. It makes me feel like I’m standing right in front of the sign and the house is a little out of focus behind. Great job once again!
I love the new template! It’s just too clever! Thanks for the chance to win!
Thanks for the chance to win. Your templates are so useful and fun! Anji B.
thank you for the chance to win this fab template! my fav one of yours changes with each release!! you are simply amazing! happy birthday to your little girl!
i am in love. your template looks like so much fun. the epoxy sticker is so clever.
When I think you simply cannot top last month’s templates … YOU DO!!! This one will quickly become one of my ‘favorites’! I am in charge of distributing welcome baskets to new neighbors who move into our subdivision and am always looking for cute things to use to include in the baskets. I like to include some products from Tastefully Simple and Stampin’ Up!, so this will be the perfect template to use … I’ll make up the box and include some yummy TS food samples inside. How gosh darn cute! I already have the Boards & Beams stamp set from PTI and can’t wait to order the new Sign Language set this week!
THANK YOU, LAUREN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can easily find a use for this! Wonderful as ever, Lauren.
And about Amber’s request… Hello Kitty skates, huh? Might ask what they look like and get the basic colors
figured out for generic skates. Then add iron on/stickers for the theme? I know it all turns out in the end, huh? Fifth birthdays are always fun :0)
Way to go Lauren. super cute idea!
LOVE this template! All your work is so fresh, creative and fun – and of course fabulous!
Where do you come up with such wonderful templates month after month? Really love the boxes and thank you for the tips that you always give us.
Love this fun box Lauren (I say this every month!!) I especially like that you often do two sizes now! When I saw the banner rack in Melissa’s set – I thought immediately that it would go with the PTI house and here it is on your project! Love them!!
Another great template, love those colours and cool little “epoxy-like” signs 🙂
Sigh…gorgeous once again Lauren. I just love seeing what you come up with every month. You provide me with daily inspiration, visiting your blog is my favorite part of the day!
great template. I love the epoxy idea too.
These are awesome Lauren! As a military spouse, with our friends and us moving all the time, this one is a must-have! Thanks for the chance to win it!
~ Meredith
PS – Did you find the skates for Amber?
Now, Lauren, if that isn’t the cutest little box! And I love the little signs you made. If there’s one thing I always look forward to, it is your template releases!
This template looks really cute and the theme…my best friend is moving to Puerto Rico, so…. It just got me thinking!! thanks for sharing!
Jannette E.
The petite Fold N’ Go looks perfect for all the gift cards we give. And I love the idea of a ‘go with’ gift in a larger box like your door knocker. Thanks for the inspiration and a great template!
What a wonderful template! And thanks for the tutorial on how to make epoxy “stickers”!
I have been thinking about ordering one of your templates but have never taken time to do it. I know my first one will not be my last. They are all just so practical and the way you decorate them is definitely “over the moon”
