Hey everybody! Happy Thursday – can you believe we’re on the downslide to another weekend already?! I have a cool ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share created with the awesome August 2024 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. This birthday-themed collection has really pretty coordinating papers that can be used for nearly any occasion besides birthdays. I love the versatility! I crafted a 3-1/2″ square box with a scalloped lid that holds a set of ten all-occasion 3-1/4″ square notelets (two each of the five patterns shown below). I used coordinating papers from the collection and chipboard bits from the upgrades, adapting my project from THIS 2008 Splitcoast Stampers tutorial. The basic instructions are the same but I did change some of the measurements and I’ve added them to the Freebies section of my blog HERE.

I cut the box, lid and notelet bases from CutCardStock Lessebo Pitch Black cardstock. I used the Stampin’ Up Scallop Edge Punch around the edge of the lid piece and then covered the box and lid with two coordinating prints in the collection. I cut two layering panels from five prints in the kit for the front of the notelets and embellished them with chipboard bits from the upgrades.
I cut layering panels for the insides from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, leaving the insides blank to write a custom message for the occasion. The final step was making little envelopes (not pictured) with my WRMK All-In-One Tool – The Works from 32# HP copy paper with 1/8″ Scor-Tape on the flaps. This was a fun project!
