Standard & Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machines: Side by Side Comparison

One of my friends and member of my team was interested in purchasing the new Standard Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine but was curious about the dimensions for storage.  So I took a few photos with a ruler and shared that info with her, since it's not in the catalog. I also have a limited amount of space in my craft room, maybe you do too, so I thought a side by side comparison may be beneficial to a few more of us.

Here are the dimensions, side by side:

	Standard	Mini
Height	8”	6”
Length – open	14”	10”
Length – closed	6 ½ “	4 ½”
Width w/handle	13”	10"

Here are a few photos for you:

STANDARD         Weight: 8 lbs. 2 oz.	MINI Weight: 2 lbs. 2 oz.

I hope that this is helpful to you.

Mini Cupcake Bakery Box

 Sometimes I right before I wake up I am inspired by an idea.  This morning was one of those mornings. Wouldn't a small bakery box be a cute gift idea for a cupcake?  

So I asked my son if he would stop by the store and pick out the cupcake of his choice and I would use it for my idea.  Unfortunately, he was leaving for work in 30 minutes and we are down to one car.  His broke down during the blizzard last Wednesday on his way home, so he's using mine.  Well, not to be deterred, I decided to send in my grocery order that I had waiting and have my groceries delivered.  I wasn't able to order one of their gourmet cupcakes, but they did have these adorable mini cupcakes, so I added them to my list.  So my idea was revised. One day I may get one of the gourmet ones and make this box for a regular sized cupcake.

This box was CASE'd, basically, from Stamping with Amore.  I just downsized her box, which was for 4 mini cupcakes.  If you'd like to adapt this one to hold four mini cupcakes, simply change the size of the cardstock from two 6" squares to two 8" squares.  The rest is the same, including the scoring.

Here is the video.  If it does not show up on your mobile device click this link.

Stunning Gift Bag using "True Love" DSP

Well, it's Christmas Eve and the packages are all wrapped and ready.  I wanted to share one more 3D project with you, that you can use all year around. Making a gift bag from 2 sheets of DSP.  I saw this a couple of years ago in one of Connie Stewart's videos.  

This new DSP from the Jan - June 2021 Mini catalog makes an absolute stunning gift bag!  The DSP is found on page 11 in the "Love You Always" suite.  It's called "True Love". The whole package is full of beautiful black and white, images, flowers on one side and, stripes, polka dots, and a couple geometric designs on the other.  

You can make this in different height bags and the scoring for the top and bottom is a little different for them. The bag I made was  7" bag. If you want to change the size change the 1st score line for the top of the bag:

6" tall, score at 3"
6-1/2" tall, score at 2-1/2"
7" tall, score at 2"
7-1/2" tall, score at 1-1/2"
8" tall, score at 1"
9" tall, no top score line.

The side score lines are: 1-1/2", 3", 9" and 10-1/2". Both sheets of paper are score the same.  See the  video for more detailed instructions. If the link doesn't show up on your mobile device, click here, for the YouTube link
