LUCKY ME RAINBOW TREAT BOXES | with Kathy

Every year I attend the Crop on the Cape Scrapbook retreat.  I've been going for over 20 years!  It's such a fun event, a chance to catch up with friends and of course get some crafting in!  I always try to bring a little something special for my table-mates and this year I decided to make some fun treat holders using the Lucky Me Collection along with the You are My Sunshine Doodle Cuts. Take a peek...

I started with a Lori Whitlock SVG File for the base. (linked below)  I cut it from some Lily White cardstock and added a handle made from some swimming pool cardstock and attached with some Swimming Pool chunky brads.

Using the You are My Sunshine Doodle Cuts, I cut the rainbows from a mixture of Lucky Me coordinating Petite Prints and some papers from the collection.  The clouds were cut from some lily white polka dot/plaid petite prints.  I popped up the clouds with some foam tape and also used some foam tape to attach the rainbows to the box.  To complete the look I added a Swimming Pool Puffy Shape Heart.

To complete my boxes, I die cut the tag, hello and shamrock from the Bunch of Luck Doodle Cuts.  I punched a hole in both and tied them to the box using some Swimming Pool Doodle Twine.

I filled my little boxes with some rainbow sprinkle nonpareils from a local Cape Cod Candy maker.  They are yummy, and I thought they went well with my rainbow theme.  Now to finish packing for the crop!  That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek.

LUCKY ME RIBBON TIED MINI ALBUM | with Conny

Hello crafty friends, it’s Conny here from The Daily Life of Creativity with another mini album using the Lucky Me Collection. If you would like to see the process video, be sure to check out my YouTube channel.

To begin creating the mini album cover, cut your chipboard pieces to the following sizes: 4 x 2½ inches for the front cover, 4 x 2 inches for the spine, and 4 x 5 inches for the back cover. Once the chipboard pieces are cut, wrap each piece with patterned paper from the collection. For the front cover, I used the My Lucky Charm patterned paper and trimmed it to 11½ x 5¾ inches.

Next, cut the Rainbow Drops acetate sheet with polka dots to 3 x 4 inches and place it on the front cover section measuring 2½ inches. Make sure the acetate reaches all the way to the edge, since this will become the front of your mini album. I used double-sided tape to adhere the acetate to the chipboard cover.

To cover the inside of the chipboard cover, trim a piece of cardstock measuring 4 x 9½ inches. The paper I used here is Clover Patch. Adhere this piece to the inside of the album cover for a clean, finished look.

Now moving on to the pages; For the pages, you can use white cardstock or coordinating cardstock from the collection. You will need two pieces measuring 4 x 10½ inches. On the long side, which is the 10½ inch side, score each piece at 5 inches and 5½ inches. In addition, cut one piece measuring 4 x 10 inches, then score it at 4½ inches and 5 inches.

Once these pieces are scored and folded, you will have three signature pages that will be adhered to the middle of the spine. When attaching the pages, make sure to leave about ¼ inch of space from the front and back of the spine so the pages can open comfortably. Adhere the pages one after the other, leaving a small border between them. I recommend leaving about an ⅛ inch gap between each page.

The first page should be the shorter piece, which is the 4 x 10-inch page. Place this page toward the front, and then adhere the two longer pages measuring 4 x 10½ inches behind it. To match the white pages, I used papers from the 6 x 8 paper pad. For the back panels of the pages, cut pieces measuring 3¾ x 4¼ inches, and for the front panels, cut pieces measuring 3¾ x 4¾ inches. These layers add color and pattern while creating a base for photos and embellishments.

To embellish the mini album, I used a variety of elements from the Lucky Me collection, including Mini Icons, Puffy Icons, and the All the Things ephemera pieces. For the cover, I added a rosette that I created for a previous design team project using the Lucky Me collection, and it makes a beautiful focal point on the front of the album.

To make the album more interactive, I also added flip pages using the 3 x 4 cards and tags throughout the album. For dimension and layering, I adhered several embellishments using foam adhesive, which helps create depth and makes the details stand out.

LUCKY ME LEPRECHAUN TRAP | with Jen

As soon as I saw the Lucky Me collection I knew I needed to make a leprechaun trap! This is super easy to put together and there is a full video tutorial linked at the bottom of this post.

The overall trap is 5 1/4" x 7 1/4" and the box itself can absolutely be repurposed as a photo storage box or a card storage box or even a box to hold a mini album. The top has a window so you can see inside to check if you trapped your leprechaun! I used the new Rainbow Dots Heavyweight acetate for the window. 

The trap is "set" by raising the little prop that is attached to the front of the box with a Ladybug Chunky Brad. The prop is made from a craft stick from the dollar store. I also constructed a little ladder using craft sticks to help the leprechaun climb inside. When the prop falls it catches behind the Rainbow word from the All the Things pack. 

On the front we have a bunch of garden items from the All the Things pack and a leprechaun. I fussy cut the pot of gold from one of the cut aparts because I'd used my other two on my other projects. 

I added the Happy St. Patrick's Day sentiment and a couple more elements from the All the Things pack to the top. 

The box is matted on all four sides and I used two of the border strips that left attached around the top of the box and on the closure. 

The full video tutorial is linked below!

Have a great day!
