Fun Fold Tepee Card using the Pleased As Punch Designer Series Paper and LOTS of Punches

I've always loved making unique FUN FOLD cards.  While browsing Pinterest, I found many different design ideas and I used them as inspiration to design my own.  I have loved the PLEASED AS PUNCH DESIGNER SERIES PAPER so much and it's amazing versatility with all the punches in the new 2020 Mini Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration brochure.   Sale-A-Bration ends MARCH 31st, so get your final orders in so you can take advantage of all the amazing FREEBIES this year.

The basic structure of the card is easy to make.  I took 3 piece of 4in by 4in CRUMB CAKE CARD STOCK.  Using my STAMPIN TRIMMER, I scored each piece from corner to corner and then folded them in half.  On your work surface, line up two of the square next to each other then glue the third in the middle as shown below.

The pink gingham panels are made by cutting squares at 3-3/4in by 3-3/4in and cut from corner to corner.  Those are adhered to the card base on four of the sides and a WHISPER WHITE card stock panel cut at the same size for sender to write something.  Then the fun begins.  I used a tulip, an umbrella, flowers and a heart to create the embellishments.  I used the sentiments from the UNDER MY UMBRELLA stamp set. As well as the SCALLOPED HEART PUNCH, the TULIP BUILDER PUNCH, the UMBRELLA PUNCH and the SMALL BLOOM PUNCH.

Below is a video tutorial that shows how the project came together.

Make a cute Milano Cookie Treat Box usng the Pleased As Punch DSP and the Under My Umbrella Bundle

The days in quarantine can be long and anxiety ridden.  You get to feel hopeless because you feel there is no way you can help other than STAY AT HOME.  Paper Crafting is not only my job during times like this, it is a way for me to relax, create and do something to brighten the days of those who are out there on the front lines taking care of us. So I came up with this cute little treat box that holds a 2-Pack of Milano Cookies.  I made 20 boxes and sent them to the local hospital for the nurses during this stressful crazy time.  Can't thank the heroes in health care enough.

To build the box, I started with a piece of Balmy Blue card stock cut at 7-1/2in by 7-1/2in.  On the first side, using the SIMPLE SCORED TOOL, I scored at 1/2in, 2in and 6in.  Turning the paper clockwise and I scored at 2in, 3-12in, 5-1/2in and 7in.  The template below shows how I cut the paper.

To decorate the box, I used the raindrops paper out of the Pleased As Punch Designer Series stack.  Two panels were cut at 3-3/4in by 1-3/4in. and two at 3-3/4in by 1-1/2in.  Adhere them to the sides of the box before putting the box together.  Below is a video tutorial showing how the project came together.
