The stamps are from the Joy’s Life Mother & Daughter set.
I am in LOVE with Sizzix dies. This one was so easy and fun to use! Let me show you how it works.
Zippy was asleep in his bed and I woke him up taking this photo.
I’m using the Sizzix #656303 Long Triangle box die. You’ll need the Sizzix extended cutting pads
Now that Zippy is awake he got on top of the Big Shot for a better look.
I ran a 6×12 sheet of paper through 1 time and it gave me these two pieces. The die scores the paper too, which is so nice. All I had to do was bend the pieces at the score marks. That may look like 2 different sheets of paper, but it’s a double sided sheet that I used. The paper is by Anna Griffin, the Isabelle Collection. I bought it last year. It’s so pretty.
Zippy got out of his bed and drug his blanket over to see what I was doing.
I used my ATG gun to tape the parts that needed taping. When you make a box it’s important to use a strong adhesive. Though it’s not shown, I used my Crop A Dile Big Bite to punch a hole in either side of the triangle box. Then I threaded ribbon through to make a handle and added some candy hearts.
Here’s a link to a video about how to use the Crop A Dile and the Crop A Dile Big Bite.
Having some punches makes crafting life easier. These punches are by Marvy Uchida
The best thing about the stamp set that I used is that if you don’t think your Mother-in-law is fabulous, don’t worry about it. You can switch it out with another term or name. I know a bunch of you just breathed a sigh of relief. LOL! My Mother & Daughter stamp set works perfectly with my Father & Son set too. You can check them out on the Joy’s Life Products Page. THERE’S FREE SHIPPING NOW TOO! 😀

What a cute box! I guess my favorite item is my expression – but I just got my gypsy and I managed to weld two hearts together and make alot of cards that my granddaughters could use, so that is fast becoming my favorite. I don’t even know everything it can do and I love it already. I also love my punches. Thanks for all your great advice!
